Abstract
Conclusions Inadequate control of symptoms is common in GERD patients prescribed PPI therapy for >1 year and is often overlooked in daily practice. 46% of patients taking PPI >1 year seen in general practice complain of heartburn or regurgitation symptoms at least 2 days per week. 10% of patients are considered “Lost Patients”. These patients with insufficient symptom control should be methodically identified and considered for further diagnostics and/or treatment modification, for example with a screening questionnaire. Interdisciplinary reflux centers have the potential to improve the care of GERD patients.
