The purpose of the study is to provide data on the GERD prevalence as percentage of patients with upper GI symptoms that are identified with GERD using the GerdQ Questionnaire. Furthermore the study aims to estimate GERD prevalence in patients based on their symptoms as they respond to a physician's questionnaire, to observe possible variations between the two methods (physicians' symptom rating and GerdQ), to objectively measure treatment response and to identify the percentage of patients that may require alterations of their treatment. Finally, to describe the impact of GERD symptoms on work productivity.
