Consultation rates and characteristics of gastro-oesophageal reflux disease in primary care: A European observational study

Validation of the GerdQ questionnaire for the diagnosis of gastro‐oesophageal reflux disease

“…Upper gastrointestinal symptoms, including those related to GERD, constitute one of the most frequent reasons for consultation in primary care . Consequently, efficient methods for diagnosis, management and referral of these patients are important to further optimise care and drive cost efficiency.…”

Gastric accommodation in healthy subjects studied by ultrasound, manometry, and impedancemetry

“…GERD and FD overlap considerably in symptoms and presumably also in pathophysiology . Failure of medical therapy is common, causing huge costs to society due to medication, reduced work productivity and patient suffering . Thus, there is a need for both better methods to investigate pathophysiological mechanisms behind these common disorders, and for better therapy.…”

Impact of gastroesophageal reflux disease on work absenteeism, presenteeism and productivity in daily life: a European observational study

“…Symptom profile, diagnosis and management, as well as effects on productivity, costs and HRQOL, were examined. Here, we outline the impact of GERD on productivity as part of the RANGE study, while other results of the RANGE study are published elsewhere [ 14 , 15 ].…”
