Data regarding the impact of BMI on proton pump inhibitor (PPI) therapy are conflicting. Aim To assess the impact of BMI on baseline heartburn symptom severity and frequency and response to PPI therapy in patients with non‐erosive GERD (NERD) or erosive oesophagitis (EO). Methods In post hoc analyses of phase 3 trial data, 621 NERD and 2692 EO patients were stratified by BMI (
