Abstract
In the developed world, most patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) do not exhibit erosions when examined by standard white light endoscopy. Despite the high prevalence of such non-erosive reflux disease (NERD), relatively little is known of its underlying pathophysiology, hence there is no clear guide to clinical management. To establish areas of agreement or uncertainty in NERD, an international meeting was held in Vevey, Switzerland, in late 2007. The goal was to document current thinking in the areas of clinical presentation, assessment of clinical outcome, pathobiological mechanisms, and define optimal clinical strategies to diagnose and manage NERD. After extensive debates, the modified Delphi technique was utilized to reach a consensus on 85 specific statements. In addition, it was proposed that NERD be defined as 'a subcategory of GERD characterised by troublesome reflux-related symptoms in the absence of esophageal mucosal erosions/breaks at conventional endoscopy and without recent acid suppressive therapy'. Evidence in support of this diagnosis may include responsiveness to acid suppression therapy, abnormal reflux monitoring or the identification of specific novel endoscopic findings. Defining the current state of knowledge in NERD should help improve the elucidation and management of this condition in the future.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
