Interpretation of the 2025 American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy guideline on diagnosis and management of GERD

Abstract

Abstract:

Released in February 2025, American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy（ASGE） guideline on the diagnosis and management of gastroesophageal reflux disease(GERD), is based on a large body of evidence-based medical evidence over the past decade. It has systematically updated the indications for endoscopic examination, standards for high-quality endoscopic examination, and multidimensional management strategies, while focusing on elucidating the new role of endoscopic intervention in the diagnosis and treatment of GERD. The guideline aimed to provide clinicians with an authoritative guiding tool that integrates both scientific and practical value.

Key words:Gastroesophageal reflux disease(GERD),American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy(ASGE),Guidelines interpretation
