Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a gastrointestinal tract disorder associated with regurgitation of gastric acid into the oesophagus. It can present itself as non-erosive reflux condition or erosive esophagitis. Our main objective was to evaluate the impact of oesophageal reflux disease on muscle fatigue among patients. The prospective study design was adopted using surveys performed at the South West China Medical University. All patients who were subjected to screening endoscopy at the South West China Medical University were prospectively enrolled in the study. Our study was conducted according to ethical guidelines involving animal and human subjects. Our study used Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), and the Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory (MFI) questionnaires to perform data collection on the levels of fatigue, depression, daytime hypersomnolence and anxiety. In the (HADS, Anxiety (β = 0.657, p < .001) and Depression (β = 2.927, p < .001) exhibited significant positive associations with the predicted fatigue. The Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) showed no significant difference between individuals with and without reflux esophagitis (p = 0.787, power = 0.071). However, a significant difference was observed based on the presence of GERD symptoms (p = 0.003, power = 0.789), with higher mean scores for those with GERD symptoms (6.1±3.5) compared to those without (4.9±2.9). In MFI, significant differences were observed between the two groups for General and Physical Fatigue (p = 0.040, power = 0.823), Mental Fatigue (p = 0.002, power = 0.767), and MFI Total Score (p = 0.002, power = 0.981). In conclusion, GERD symptoms exhibited stronger associations with fatigue and daytime sleepiness than endoscopic findings, emphasizing the impact of symptomatic experiences on well-being.
