Hospitalizations Due To GERD Rose 103 Between 1998 And 2005, USA

The number of people hospitalized because of GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) in the USA rose 103% between the period 1998 and 2005, according to details published by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRC). During that same period there was a 216% rise in the number of patients hospitalized for other ailments but who also had milder forms of GERD. A person who suffers GERD experiences chronic heartburn because stomach acid backs up into the esophagus.
