| Core Tip |
A significant proportion of patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) symptoms lack objective evidence of reflux on endoscopy or pH impedance testing. It highlights the need for objective diagnostic tools in evaluating GERD, in addition to symptom-based diagnosis. Future directions should include increasing the availability of endoscopy and pH impedance testing facilities, training of specialists to improve reporting standards, reducing the cost of diagnostic tests, and developing population-specific guidelines and standards. Enhancing diagnostic precision will not only improve patient outcomes and resource utilization in GERD management, but also recognition and appropriate treatment of functional heartburn and reflux hypersensitivity. |
