Department of Medicine, University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, Madison WI. Drugs. 2012;72:437-445. Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) affects up to 40% of the U.S. population in their lifetime 1 $10 billion per year is spent on proton pump inhibitors 2 PPIs have been associated with several complications, including osteoporosis, bone fracture, hypomagnesaemia and pneumonia 3 About 30% of GERD patients fail to respond symptomatically to standard dose PPIs 1 GERD may lead to serious health consequences, including esophagitis, strictures, ulcers and Barrett’s esophagus 1 GERD has a serious effect on healthcare—in terms of both patient outcomes and economic burden

3 GERD PUBLIC HEALTH TRENDS Symptoms of GERD are heterogeneous, making diagnosis difficult 1 Annual spending on PPIs is a large public health burden 2 Prescribing PPIs without a diagnosis further exacerbates spending 3 Reflux testing is a reimbursed procedure that helps definitively diagnose GERD 4 Insights gained from reflux testing help the physician choose the right therapeutic option or stop unnecessary therapy 4 1.Richter J, Pandolfino J, Vela M, et al.

5 CLINICAL RECOMMENDATIONS UTILIZATION OF WIRELESS PH MONITORING TECHNOLOGIES 1 “The optimal work-up for patients being evaluated for GERD symptoms without previous objective evidence of abnormal pathologic acid reflux is ambulatory pH monitoring done ‘OFF’ medication” Patients who continue to have symptoms when on double dose PPI therapy should be tested “OFF” PPI therapy to help determine which patients do not have pathologic acid gastroesophageal reflux and should stop using PPIs; which patients should be referred for treatment focused on non-GERD etiologies; and which patients may require further testing for optimizing GERD management Wireless ambulatory pH monitoring should be performed for at least 48 hours, in order to increase the diagnostic yield and reduce false negative studies pH impedance monitoring can be utilized as an adjunct diagnostic test to support management decisions in patients with objective evidence of GERD Advancing Patients Along the Reflux Care Continuum | March 18, 2016 1.Richter J, Pandolfino J, Vela M, Kahrilas P, Lacy B, Ganz R, et al.

6 CLINICAL RECOMMENDATIONS GUIDELINES FOR THE DIAGNOSIS AND MANAGEMENT OF GASTROESOPHAGEAL REFLUX DISEASE 1 “Patients with refractory GERD and negative evaluation by endoscopy or evaluation by ENT, pulmonary, and allergy specialists should undergo ambulatory reflux monitoring” It has been estimated that failure to control symptoms occurs in up to 40% of patients treated with a PPI The vast majority of patients with heartburn and regurgitation will not have erosions limiting upper endoscopy as an initial diagnostic test in patients with suspected GERD In a patient with a negative test “OFF” therapy, PPIs can be stopped and the diagnostic effort should be steered toward non-GERD etiologies Telemetry capsule pH monitoring offers increased patient tolerability and the option to extend the monitoring period to 48 or perhaps to 96 hours Catheter-based monitoring allows for the addition of impedance and detection of weakly acidic or non-acid reflux Advancing Patients Along the Reflux Care Continuum | March 18, 2016 1.Katz P, Gerson B, Vela M.

7 CLINICAL RECOMMENDATIONS USE OF MOTILITY TESTING IN PATIENTS WITH REFRACTORY GERD HIGH RESOLUTION ESOPHAGEAL MANOMETRY Manometry is indicated to establish the diagnosis of dysphagia in instances in which a mechanical obstruction (e.g., stricture) cannot be found, especially in cases where a diagnosis of achalasia is suspected 1 Manometry is recommended to evaluate patients with a suspected esophageal GERD syndrome who have not responded to an empirical trial of twice-daily PPI therapy and have normal findings on endoscopy 2 All patients with suspected achalasia who do not have evidence of a mechanical obstruction on endoscopy or esophagram should undergo esophageal motility testing before a diagnosis of achalasia can be confirmed 3 Esophageal manometry is recommended for preoperative evaluation—all patients should undergo preoperative manometry to rule out achalasia or scleroderma-like esophagus 4 Advancing Patients Along the Reflux Care Continuum | March 18, 2016 1.Pandolfino JE, Kahrilas PJ.

8 THE DIAGNOSTIC PATHWAY Reflux testing aids in effective patient management 1 Evaluate patients with normal EGD who are refractory to PPI therapy Discontinue PPI therapy if GERD is ruled out Refer patients for assessment of non-GERD causes of symptoms 1.Richter J, Pandolfino J, Vela M, Kahrilas P, Lacy B, Ganz R, et al.

Rx only. Risk Information: The risks of the Bravo ™ reflux testing system include premature detachment, discomfort, failure to detach, failure to attach, capsule aspiration, capsule retention, tears in the mucosa, bleeding, and perforation. Endoscopic placement may present additional risks. Medical, endoscopic, or surgical intervention may be necessary to address any of these complications, should they occur. Because the capsule contains a small magnet, patients should not have an MRI study within 30 days of undergoing the Bravo ™ reflux test. Please refer to the product user manual or medtronic.com/gi for detailed information.medtronic.com/gi The risks of catheter insertion into the nasal passage associated with the Digitrapper ™ pH and impedance testing system include: discomfort, nasal pain, minor bleeding, runny nose, throat discomfort, irregular heartbeat with dizziness, and perforation. In rare instances, the catheter may be misdirected into the trachea causing coughing or choking, or the catheter may shift up or down causing false results. Medical, endoscopic, or surgical intervention may be necessary to address any of these complications, should they occur. The system is not compatible for use in an MRI magnetic field.
