Symptoms, endoscopy, and pH monitoring form the basis of diagnosis of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Their relationship was meaningful for primary care physicians, but still unclear. This study aimed to determine the relationship among symptoms, mucosa injury, and acid exposure in Gasteroesophageal Reflux Disease.
\nA cross-sectional analytic study was carried out in 48 patients with symptoms of GERD (heartburn or acid regurgitation) after explaining about the study and taking written consent during the one-year period in2015. The patients underwent upper GI endoscopy to assess mucosa injury and 24-hour esophageal pH monitoring to assess pathological acid exposure in Department of Gastroenterology, Yangon General Hospital. The data were then analyzed and their relationships were determined.
