Oxford Comma

"Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease is a spectrum of disease that occurs when gastric acid refluxes from the stomach into the lower end of the oesophagus across the lower oesophageal sphincter. It can cause symptoms and can lead to metaplasia, strictures and cancer."

Line 1:272 · Use the Oxford comma in 'metaplasia, strictures and cancer'.

"In paediatrics, the presentation is often non-specific, with vomiting, upper and lower respiratory symptoms, irritability, aversion to food, and failure to thrive ². A minority of paediatric patients with gastro-oesophageal reflux disease ("

Line 6:65 · Use the Oxford comma in 'vomiting, upper and lower'.

"Traditional theories hold that gastro-oesophageal reflux disease invokes a linear response of severity dependant on exposure to acid. Mild oesophagitis progresses severe ulcerated oesophagitis. This then progresses to Barrett oesophagus and then, in a proportion of patients, dysplasia and eventually cancer develop."

Line 29:270 · Use the Oxford comma in 'patients, dysplasia and eventually'.

Commas

suggestion

"Common clinical features in adults include epigastric and retrosternal burning sensations (heartburn, medical term: pyrosis), dysphagia, odynophagia, regurgitation that leaves an acidic taste in the mouth, postural regurgitation (usually in the supine position), waterbrash (increased salivation), enamel erosions, and a chronic dry cough ^1,9. Symptoms are particularly pronounced at night ¹."
