This document discusses laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) and methods for evaluating it. The Reflux Symptom Index (RSI) and Reflux Finding Score (RFS) are used to assess LPR symptoms and findings during laryngoscopy. A RFS ≥ 7 indicates LPR is present. The RFS evaluates specific laryngeal findings like edema, erythema, ventricular obliteration, vocal fold edema, diffuse laryngeal edema, posterior commissure hypertrophy, and thick endolaryngeal mucus. Accurately scoring these findings helps determine if a patient has LPR.
