The Use of International GerdQ Questionnaire - Full Text View

Purpose

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.

Further study details as provided by AstraZeneca:

Primary Outcome Measures:

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 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
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 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:

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 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Frequency of GERD diagnosis based on instrumental examination (endoscopy, pH-metry) in studied patients. [ Time Frame: Up to 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
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 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
