Abstract
in English, Italian

Authors report the available scientific evidence on the role of proton pump inhibitors and upper gastro-intestinal endoscopy in the management of patients with gastro-oesophageal reflux disease. Relative indications, advantages and pitfalls of various diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for cost-effective management of this condition are discussed. The most recent evidence-based guidelines are outlined.

Essi discutono le relative indicazioni, i vantaggi ed i limiti delle differenti strategie diagnostiche e terapeutiche e forniscono alcune linee guida comportamentali basate sulle più recenti prove di efficacia.
