Studies were required to be population-based, to include \u2265200 individuals, to have response rates \u226550% and recall periods &lt;12\u2005months. GERD was defined as heartburn and\/or regurgitation on at least 1\u2005day a week, or according to the Montreal definition, or diagnosed by a clinician.

The range of GERD prevalence estimates was 18.1%\u201327.8% in North America, 8.8%\u201325.9% in Europe, 2.5%\u20137.8% in East Asia, 8.7%\u201333.1% in the Middle East, 11.6% in Australia and 23.0% in South America. Incidence per 1000 person-years was approximately 5 in the overall UK and US populations, and 0.84 in paediatric patients aged 1\u201317\u2005years in the UK. Evidence suggests an increase in GERD prevalence since 1995 (p&lt;0.0001), particularly in North America and East Asia.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>GERD is prevalent worldwide, and disease burden may be increasing.
