Rumination syndrome determined by Rome IV criteria was present in 12.8% of patients presenting for gastric symptom evaluation. Higher self-report PAGI-SYM heartburn/regurgitation subscale scores, particularly daytime regurgitation/reflux symptoms, were the only parameters that distinguished rumination. The PAGI-SYM heartburn/regurgitation subscale could be used to screen for rumination, in addition to GERDAQ6.
