Objectives: To evaluate the frequency of medical consultation for gastro-oesophageal reflux symptoms (GORS) and to ascertain reasons for consultation and associated factors. Methods: Telephone survey of 2,500 persons using a validated questionnaire. Data were analyzed using multiple logistic regression, in which the dependent variable was consultation for GORS and the independent variables were sociodemographic factors and the clinical characteristics of GORS. Results: Of those reporting GORS, 28%had consulted their physician about them in the last year. Main reasons for seeking medical advice were GORS-induced concern in 48%, and intensity of GORS in 42.6%. Factors independently associated with medical consultation were: housewife (odds ratio (OR) 1.9; 95%CI 1.1-3.4) or retired status (OR 2.3; 95%CI 1.3-4.1), frequent GORS (OR 2.4; 95%CI 1.6-3.5), severe GORS (OR 2.4; 95%CI 1.4-4.2), nocturnal GORS (OR 1.6; 95%CI 1.1-2.3), and association of epigastric pain (OR 1.7; 95%CI 1.0-2.7) or nausea (OR 1.7; 95%CI 1.1-2.8). Conclusion: The high frequency of medical consultation for GORS in Spain makes it an important healthcare problem. The fact that half the patients seek medical advice due to concern about the nature of GORS illustrates the benefits of explaining the nature, treatment and prognosis of GORS. The clinical relevance of GORS does not reside in its frequency alone, since severe or nocturnal symptoms, albeit occasional, are also associated with medical consultation.

有一回跟室友们聊起找对象的话题,突然发现我们的喜好存在某种共通性——我们喜欢的男生居然有共同的特征。  什么样的男生招女生喜欢?  每个人的交际圈子都是相对固定的,于是人们相互了解的重要途径之一就是社交网络。别以为你的QQ说说、微博没什么信息量,实际上很多人对你的印象就取决于你每天随手发出去的文字。  相信我,如果一个男生隔三岔五就在社交网络上发布这样的状态——“原来,那个夏天我们都回不去了。这里
