In this environment, the current status of GERD management in clinical practice among Asian regions is less well-known. <b><i>Objective:</i></b> This questionnaire-based consensus survey was performed to clarify the current status of management of GERD in clinical practice in Asian regions. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> A questionnaire related to management of GERD was distributed to members of the International Gastroenterology Consensus Symposium Study Group. We analyzed the questionnaire responses and compared the results among groups. <b><i>Results:</i></b> The frequencies of erosive GERD (ERD), non-ERD, uninvestigated GERD, and Barrett’s esophagus varied significantly among Asian countries. The most important factor in diagnosing GERD was the presence of symptoms in all countries. A proton pump inhibitor was the most commonly prescribed drug to treat GERD in all countries. Endoscopic surveillance for GERD was performed regularly. <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> This questionnaire survey revealed the current status of management of GERD in clinical practice in various Asian countries.
