Editorial Note on the Management of Gastro-Oesophageal

Gastro-Oesophageal reflux (GOR) may be a common physiological condition in infants and young children, with gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD) its pathological manifestation. Management of GOR/GORD requires elimination of possible underlying causes, parental reassurance, modification of feeding and symptom mitigation, monitoring, and referral to paediatricians if warning signs are present. Published clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) seek to support clinicians and improve management. This study aimed to live the proportion of Australian GOR/GORD paediatric care that was in line with CPG recommendations.
