Average DI was higher in patients with abnormal IRP (>15 mm Hg) when a hiatal hernia was present ( P = 0.025). The total agreement between correlated diagnoses from FLIP and HRIM was 33.5%.

FLIP was not correlated to pH monitoring findings, suggesting FLIP is not useful in reflux assessment. The agreement between FLIP and TBE was lower than in previous studies.
