About this study

Official title: Observational Non-interventional Study on the Use of International GerdQ Questionnaire for the Diagnosis of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease in the Russian Practice

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.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Sensitivity of GerdQ questionnaire = rate of GERD by GerdQ questionnaire (total score ≥8) / number of patients whose GERD was confirmed by instrumental examinations.

    Measured: 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

    Measured: Up to 6 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Sensitivity of GERD diagnosis made by gastroenterologist = result of completion of GerdQ questionnaire / the results of clinical assessment by gastroenterologist.

    Measured: Up to 6 months

  2. Frequency of GERD diagnosis based on instrumental examination (endoscopy, pH-metry) in studied patients.

    Measured: 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.

    Measured: Up to 6 months
