Brief Summary:

There are three main directions for use GerdQ in practice. First of all, GerdQ can be used to diagnose GERD with an accuracy comparable to the accuracy of diagnosis of GERD by the specialist (gastroenterologist). Using GerdQ can evaluate the impact of disease on the patient's life and help in choosing treatment of GERD, as well as direct assessment of treatment efficacy.

In connection with mentioned above, this study is devoted to the estimation of possibility to use GerdQ in routine practice of Russian physicians.

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Groups and Cohorts Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Sensitivity of GerdQ questionnaire = rate of GERD by GerdQ questionnaire (total score ≥8) / number of patients whose GERD was confirmed by instrumental examinations. [ Time Frame: Up to 6 months ]
  2. Specificity of GerdQ questionnaire = rate of GERD by GerdQ questionnaire (total score <8) / number of patients whose GERD diagnosis was excluded on the basis of instrumental examination [ Time Frame: Up to 6 months ]

Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Sensitivity of GERD diagnosis made by gastroenterologist = result of completion of GerdQ questionnaire / the results of clinical assessment by gastroenterologist. [ Time Frame: Up to 6 months ]
  2. Frequency of GERD diagnosis based on instrumental examination (endoscopy, pH-metry) in studied patients. [ Time Frame: Up to 6 months ]
  3. Prevalence of GERD with the completed GerdQ questionnaire, which corresponds to the proportion (%) of patients with a total score of ≥ 8 in the questionnaire, among study patients. [ Time Frame: Up to 6 months ]
