Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Clinical Medicine

Background:

  • Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a prevalent global health concern.
  • Understanding GERD's epidemiology, pathogenesis, and treatment is crucial for effective patient management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review significant advancements in GERD understanding and treatment over the past year.
  • To highlight new diagnostic tools and therapeutic strategies for GERD.

Main Methods:

  • Review of recent epidemiologic studies on GERD presentation and natural history in Eastern populations.
  • Analysis of research on GERD pathogenesis, including immunoregulatory aspects, TLESR neurophysiology, esophagogastric junction mechanics, and Helicobacter pylori influence.
  • Evaluation of diagnostic innovations, pharmacotherapy for TLESR, endoscopic therapies, and laparoscopic fundoplication.

  • Assessment of cost-effectiveness of GERD management strategies.

    • Main Results:

    • New data on GERD's clinical presentation and natural history in Eastern regions.
    • Enhanced understanding of GERD pathogenesis, involving immune responses, TLESR, and esophagogastric junction function.
    • Emergence of a novel acid exposure sensor as a potentially cost-effective diagnostic tool.
    • Progress in pharmacotherapy targeting TLESR and refinement of surgical interventions like laparoscopic fundoplication.
    • Cost-effectiveness analyses aiming to mitigate the economic burden of GERD.

    Conclusions:

    • The past year has seen substantial progress in understanding GERD's multifaceted nature.
    • Innovations in diagnostics and therapeutics offer improved management options for GERD patients.
    • Focus on cost-effectiveness aims to optimize healthcare resource allocation for GERD treatment.
