Abstract:

Gastroesophageal reflux disease is highly prevalent in westernized countries. It damages quality of life but its effect is frequently underestimated, often leading to inadequate management of the disease and its symptoms. Health-related quality of life questionnaires are now becoming more widely recognized as an effective means of demonstrating the true impact of gastroesophageal reflux disease, both on individuals and on society at large. Health-related quality of life questionnaires can also help to underscore the importance of effective acid suppression therapy, with proton pump inhibitors, such as omeprazole and esomeprazole, for this common and highly debilitating condition. This review summarizes recent information on the impact of gastroesophageal reflux disease on a range of aspects of health-related quality of life, including patient well-being.
