Best Practice & Research Clinical Gastroenterology, 2013
The diagnosis of GERD in primary care settings can be enhanced by the use of structured questionnaires that suggest a high probability of GERD. Clinical outcomes can be improved and costs reduced by adopting this strategy. Using predominant symptoms to determine the path of treatment or the use of an empirical test of proton pump inhibitors has not ...
