Heartburn was the most common symptom, 863 (25.8%), followed by chest pain, 367 (11%); globus, 285 (8.5%); and dysphagia, 146 (4.4%). At least one symptom was present in 1108 (33.1%) respondents. Based on Rome III criteria, 428 (12.8%), 41 (1.2%), 49 (1.5%), 26 (0.8%), and 524 (15.6%) had heartburn, chest pain, globus, dysphagia, and at least one functional esophageal disorder, respectively. Female gender, lower family income, presence of functional dyspepsia\u2010irritable bowel syndrome (FD\u2010IBS) overlap, FD only, and psychological distress were found to be risk factors for esophageal symptoms on multivariate analysis. Among the subjects with any esophageal disorders, 156 (14.1%) consulted any health\u2010care provider, and 517 (46.6%) took antisecretory medications.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Esophageal symptoms are common in the rural community of Bangladesh and are associated with substantial health resource utilization.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/jgh3.12417","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,22]],"date-time":"2020-09-22T23:55:32Z","timestamp":1600818932000},"page":"1167-1175","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Prevalence, risk factors, and healthcare\u2010seeking among subjects with esophageal symptoms: A community\u2010based study in a rural Bangladeshi population"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"4","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9713-2223","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"M.
