Brief Summary: Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease GERD is a condition characterized by the reflux of gastric and duodenal contents into the esophagus primarily manifested by symptoms such as acid regurgitation and heartburn GERD significantly affects patients daily lives and health-related quality of life Prolonged gastroesophageal reflux can lead to repeated irritation of the esophageal mucosa by gastric acid and acidic gastric contents resulting in the replacement of normal squamous epithelium in the lower esophagus with metaplastic columnar epithelium This pathological change known as Barretts Esophagus BE is considered a precancerous lesion for esophageal adenocarcinoma
Detailed Description: GERD is a common gastrointestinal disorder with numerous risk factors that negatively impact patients quality of life Abnormal psychological conditions may influence various aspects of GERD including its onset diagnosis treatment and prognosis The incidence and risk factors of GERD vary in different countries or regions Currently there is a lack of unified national epidemiological data on GERD in China Conducting epidemiological studies on GERD in China to identify risk factors and develop prevention and treatment measures tailored to the countrys or specific regions circumstances is crucial for reducing the incidence of GERD and improving patients quality of life

In the context of the modern biomedical model of biopsychosocial health actively researching the psychological conditions of patients while also addressing their physical ailments and providing psychological treatment emphasizes holistic care This approach may comprehensively alleviate disease symptoms and enhance quality of life potentially leading to new breakthroughs in the treatment of GERD

Based on this a specialized cohort for gastroesophageal reflux disease will be established along with multicenter epidemiological and clinical research in the Xiamen area This initiative will help clarify the etiology of GERD and provide firsthand resources for evidence-based prevention and treatment
