What is being measured

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

  1. Reflux symptoms

    Reflux Diagnostic Questionnaire RDQ The Reflux Diagnostic Questionnaire includes four symptoms: heartburn, acid reflux, regurgitation, and pain behind the sternum. The frequency and severity of symptoms range from 0 to 5 points. The highest score for symptom frequency and severity is 40 points. A higher score indicates more severe reflux, and a score exceeding 12 points indicates a preliminary diagnosis of gastroesophageal reflux disease

    Measured: 1 to 30 days after surgery

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Postoperative quality of life QLQ-C30

    European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC): Quality of Life Questionnaire: EORTC QLQ-C30

    The Quality of Life Questionnaire QLQ-C30 is a tool for assessing the quality of life of cancer patients, with 30 items divided into 15 domains. The scoring method is as follows:

    For items 29 and 30, score from 1 to 7 according to the answer options; for other items, score from 1 to 4 according to the answer options .

    Add up the scores of the items included in each domain and divide by the number of items included, to get the raw score of that domain .

    Use the range method to perform a linear transformation, converting the raw score into a standardized score between 0 and 100 .

    For functional domains and overall health status/quality of life domain, the higher the score, the better the functional status and quality of life; for symptom domains, the higher the score, the more symptoms or problems (the lower the quality of life) .

    Measured: 7 days after surgery

  2. Postoperative quality of life QLQ-OES18

    European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC): Esophagus-specific QOL questionnaire: EORTC QLQ-OES18

    QLQ-OES18 is a module for assessing the quality of life of patients with esophageal cancer, which needs to be used together with the QLQ-C30 core questionnaire, with 18 items divided into 10 domains. The scoring method is as follows:

    For all items, score from 1 to 4 according to the answer options . Add up the scores of the items included in each domain and divide by the number of items included, to get the raw score of that domain .

    Use the range method to perform a linear transformation, converting the raw score into a standardized score between 0 and 100 .

    For functional domains and overall health status/quality of life domain, the higher the score, the better the functional status and quality of life; for symptom domains, the higher the score, the more symptoms or problems (the lower the quality of life) .

    Measured: 7 days after surgery

  3. Skin pressure injury

    The staging standard of pressure injury published by the national pressure sore Advisory Committee of the United States was applied to skin pressure injury

    Measured: 7 to 180 days after surgery
