“…Furthermore, this is the first report of a validated, dimension-oriented scale for GERD that can be used daily to monitor the rapid and episodic changes in symptom character and severity which are known to occur in GERD [18]. This is especially important because it is difficult to compare diaries and validated questionnaires [19]other than by evaluating face validity and, as a result, diaries have not generally been validated. One reason for the limited use of daily diaries in clinical research and practice is the practical difficulty inherent in carrying and completing a paper-based record.…”

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is one of the most prevalent diseases worldwide, and it is becoming increasingly important to monitor the effect of various interventions on GERD symptoms. There can be rapid temporal changes in the severity and frequency of patients’ symptoms as well as their health status and well-being, all of which could, theoretically, be monitored using diaries or questionnaires. However, current GERD monitoring instruments are not appropriate because they do not assess symptoms daily, they are not sufficiently responsive to short-term changes in health status or they are not adequately validated. To address these problems, the conceptual and psychometric requirements for a GERD symptom assessment questionnaire were identified. A dimension-based scale was designed to reduce the number of symptoms monitored on a daily basis, and the validation process was defined to produce parallel long and short forms of a scale for patients’ self-assessment of their GERD symptom response to therapy. These basic principles which underlie the successful development of a new, self-assessed symptomatic reflux questionnaire (ReQuest^TM) are also applicable to the development of validated questionnaires for daily symptom self-assessment in other disease areas.

Self-reported prolonged history of GERD-like symptoms, nocturnal heartburn, history of a hiatus hernia, and male gender were associated with abnormal 24-h esophageal pH monitoring. However, these factors lack clinical utility to predict pathologic GERD in patients referred for pH testing. We found that 51% of patients with severe GERD symptoms do not have true pathological GERD on objective testing. The clinical implications of this study are significant in that treatment with acid-suppressing medication in such patients would be inappropriate.
