Reduction in Hospitalizations for Esophageal Reflux in a Decade with Minimal Increases in Other Functional and Motor Disorders.

The hospitalization rate for gastroesophageal reflux fell between 2005 and 2014, but remained relatively stable to increase for all other FMDs. These trends may be due to increased proton pump inhibitor use, better patient/provider education, emphasis on outpatient management, and/or coding bias.
