Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter

Abstract

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a common condition seen worldwide. The prevalence in North America and Europe ranges from 8.8% to 30% and is lower in Asia, ranging anywhere from 3.5% to 8.5%. GERD also can cause esophageal strictures and Barrett esophagus, and has a significant impact on patients' quality of life. Additionally, GERD results in millions of office visits, missed days of work, and lost productivity. In this chapter we explore the epidemiology of GERD along with the full scope of the problem, including the effect it has on patients' quality of life and economic burden.
