(1) Introduction/aim: Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) affects 8−33% globally. The gold standard examination technique in diagnosing GERD is 24 h pHmetry ± impedance. Recently, new diagnostic criteria were introduced by the Lyon Consensus for GERD diagnosis. Our aim was to investigate the diagnostic yield of pHmetry + impedance using the Lyon Consensus criteria in a real-world study. (2) Patients and methods: Our study included 249 consecutive patients (M/F: 120/129, mean age 50 ± 15 years) who underwent 24 h pH+ impedance monitoring in our department, during a 5-year period. Epidemiological, endoscopic, clinical, and 24 h pH+ impedance data were retrospectively collected. (3) Results: Typical GERD symptoms were reported by 140/249 (56.2%) patients, whereas 99/249 (39.6%) patients reported various extraesophageal symptoms. Endoscopic findings supportive of GERD based on the Lyon Consensus were present in 42/185 (22.7%). An AET value of &gt;6% was observed in 60/249 (24.1%). GERD diagnosis according to the Lyon Consensus criteria was set in 63/249 (25.3%) patients; a rate significantly lower than that observed by implementing the older criteria (32.1%), p &lt; 0.001. In the multivariate analysis, the existence of endoscopic findings supportive of GERD diagnosis as defined by the Lyon Consensus (p = 0.036), a De Meester score of over 14.7, and the presence of typical GERD symptoms were correlated to GERD diagnosis (p &lt; 0.001, respectively) using the criteria defined for pH−impedance monitoring. (4) Conclusions: Changes in the diagnostic criteria concerning the 24 h pH−impedance monitoring of GERD based on the Lyon Consensus led to a conclusive GERD diagnosis in approximately 25% of the patients. This rate of GERD diagnosis is reduced in comparison to the one confirmed with the use of previously established criteria.
