Changes from original (Lyon 1.0) to updated (Lyon 2.0) criteria for the modern diagnosis of GERD

Original Lyon 1.0 criteria Updated Lyon 2.0 criteria Retired criteria
Overall Concepts of different testing strategies in unproven versus proven GERD
Endoscopy No criteria for endoscopy performed on therapy Separate criteria added for testing performed on therapy
Conclusive endoscopic evidence off therapy LA C, D oesophagitis LA B, C, D oesophagitis
Borderline endoscopic evidence off therapy LA A, B oesophagitis LA A ooesophagitis
Adjunctive endoscopic evidence off therapy Histopathology (score)
Electron microscopy (DIS)
Low mucosal impedance
Hiatus hernia
Histopathology scoring systems
Electron microscopy of biopsies
Routine oesophageal biopsy analysis
Endoscopy-based mucosal impedance assessment
pH or pH impedance No separation between testing off and on antisecretory therapy Separate thresholds for testing off and on antisecretory therapy
wireless pH monitoring No criteria for wireless pH monitoring Wireless monitoring thresholds added
pH impedance monitoring No thresholds for baseline impedance Thresholds added for mean nocturnal baseline impedance Postreflux swallow induced peristaltic wave index
High-resolution manometry Analysis of motor diagnoses using Chicago Classification version 3.0 Analysis of motor diagnoses using Chicago Classification version 4.0

DIS, dilated intercellular spaces; GERD, gastro-oesophageal reflux disease; LA, Los Angeles.
