Abstract | AIM: SUBJECTS AND METHODS: A continuous method was used to compare the clinical manifestations of gastroesophageal reflux disease ( GERD) in 950 patients aged 60 to 75 years and 453 patients aged 36 to 60 years. All the patients underwent clinical examination using the Mayo clinic questionnaire and fibroesophagogastroduodenoscopy. A prospective cohort study was performed in 950 patients aged 60 to 75 years for an average of 5 years. GERD was diagnosed on the basis of the Montreal Consensus guidelines (2006); the degree of esophageal mucosal injury was evaluated according to the Los-Angeles classification (1999). The diagnosis of BE was morphologically verified. RESULTS: CONCLUSION:
GERD shows clinical features and progression in the elderly patients.
