Core Tip	The response rates to proton pump inhibitors in reflux disease vary. Empirical proton pump inhibitor therapy poses a substantial economic burden. Positive predictors of the therapeutic response are necessary. This study provides the highest number of reflux patients. Anamnestic, objective and subjective parameters predicting the therapeutic response were evaluated.
