| Summary: | Background: In primary care setting, GERD can be diagnosed
based on the presenting symptoms alone. Currently, endoscopy
is the first choice of diagnosis technique in the
investigation of GERD in clinical practice and research. The
classical symptoms of GERD are usually heartburn, feeling
that food stuck behind the breastbone (sternum), nausea, and
so on. The symptoms are frequently reported to occur during
night time where it is associated with more severe injury of
the mucosa. Therefore, we are using GERD Questionnaire in
this research to find the difference between GERDQ score in
GERD patients with and without gastroduodenal lesions
specifically.
Aim: We aim to evaluate the difference of GERDQ score in
GERD patients with and without gastroduodenal lesions.
Method: A cross sectional study with consecutive sampling of
22 patients from endoscopy room with an early clinical
diagnosis of GERD in Dr. Sardjito General Hospital was
selected for this research. The subjects were male (n=14)
and female (n=8) GERD patients with several inclusion and
exclusion criteria who were assessed for any presence of
gastroduodenal lesions by using endoscopy. The subjects were
asked to fill in GERD Questionnaire to assess for symptoms
score which was analyzed using independent samples t-test.
Results: In this study, the mean difference of GERDQ score
in GERD patients with and without gastroduodenal lesions was
0.80342. The comparison showed that there was no significant
result (p=0.595 with 95%CI) (p>0.05).
Conclusion: Based on the results we can conclude that there
is no difference of GERDQ score in GERD patients with and
without gastroduodenal lesions.
Key Words: GERD, GERDQ, gastroduodenal lesions, endoscopy,
heartburn. |
