Abstract:
The incidence of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) increased year by year and with a high risk of recurrence. The effect of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) is not sufficient in some of the GERD patients. Aims: To investigate the status of diagnosis and treatment of GERD in a hospital. Methods: A total of 312 GERD patients from January 2017 to March 2018 at the 909th Hospital/the Affiliated Dongnan Hospital of Xiamen University were enrolled. Frequency of use of PPIs, initial therapy regimen, replacement of PPIs and dose of PPIs, use of antipsychotics, course of therapy and reexamination were retrospectively analyzed. Results: About 1/3 patients received the treatment of antipsychotics. The initial therapy was mainly PPIs+antacid or PPIs+antacid+prokinetics. PPIs was replaced in 51 patients, and the dose of PPIs was increased in 286 patients. And 54 patients received standard course of treatment. Conclusions: The treatment regimen of GERD is basically rational, however, health education should be strengthened and patient's compliance be elevated for increasing the treatment efficacy of GERD.
