“…The GSRS is a Swedish, disease-specific and self-administered questionnaire, designed to evaluate perceived severity of gastrointestinal symptoms during the previous week [18,19,20] performed using a computerized allocation program. The strata consisted of women and men in six age groups [21].…”

“…Six months after surgery, the laparoscopic group reported significantly more sleep disturbances on the ad hoc questionnaire. In another publication from the same study, the authors used the Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale (GSRS) [122] to analyze the differences in QoL between the two surgical approaches [143]. The GSRS scores did not differ between the two groups 1 and 6 months after surgery.…”

“…Blomqvist et al [9] used three standardized scales to compare laparoscopic and open Nissen and Toupet patients (2b). Specifically, they applied the PGWB questionnaire [29], the Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale (GSRS) [122] and a visual analog scale depicting specific reflux-related symptoms (RVAS) [4]. The follow-up was 12 months for the 50 patients enrolled in the study.…”

Evaluation of quality of life after laparoscopic surgery: evidence-based guidelines of the European Association for Endoscopic Surgery

et al. 2004

Background: Measuring health-related quality of life (QoL) after surgery is essential for decision making by patients, surgeons, and payers. The aim of this consensus conference was twofold. First, it was to determine for which diseases endoscopic surgery results in better postoperative QoL than open surgery. Second, it was to recommend QoL instruments for clinical research. Methods: An expert panel selected 12 conditions in which QoL and endoscopic surgery are important. For each condition, studies comparing endoscopic and open surgery in terms of QoL were identified. The expert panel reached consensus on the relative benefits of endoscopic surgery and recommended generic and disease-specific QoL instruments for use in clinical research. Results: Randomized trials indicate that QoL improves earlier after endoscopic than open surgery for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), cholecystolithiasis, colorectal cancer, inguinal hernia, obesity (gastric bypass), and uterine disorders that require hysterectomy. For spleen, prostate, malignant kidney, benign colorectal, and benign non-GERD esophageal diseases, evidence from nonrandomized trials supports the use of laparoscopic surgery. However, many studies failed to collect long-term results, used nonvalidated questionnaires, or measured QoL components only incompletely.

“…We evaluated the feedback of the patients concerning the cost, palatability, and the availability of the diet. The FGID symptoms pre‐ and post‐low FODMAP diet were judged by using the gastrointestinal symptom rating scale (GSRS) 16. The scale consists of 11 symptoms scored on a 4‐point Likert scale.…”

Low FODMAP diet in Egyptian patients with Crohn's disease in remission phase with functional gastrointestinal symptoms

et al. 2018

Background and AimDespite being in remission, functional gastrointestinal disease (FGID) in Crohn's disease (CD) patients can reduce their quality of life. The Egyptian daily diet contains a high amount of FODMAP (Fermentable Oligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Monosaccharides, And Polyols). As the low FODMAP diet has been proven to be effective in irritable bowel syndrome worldwide, it was reasonable to take a step further and begin to study the effect of low FODMAP in Egyptian CD patients with FGID. The outcomes were assessed in terms of improvement in symptoms and hence the quality of life, and the factors that led to this improvement were also recorded.MethodsIn total, 100 CD patients with FGID in the remission stage who were already on a low‐fiber diet (± lactose‐free diet) were selected to follow the low FODMAP diet. A structured interview was performed after 3 months with a number of scored‐scale questionnaires comparing symptoms before and after the diet and the impact on quality of life. Evaluation of the adherence, satisfaction, palatability, and affordability of the diet was performed. Different demographic data were also evaluated in correspondence with improvements in the quality of life.ResultsThe mean score of FGID improvement was 38.45 ± 21.56%. The quality of life was significantly improved; 90% of female patients versus 49.4% males had a better quality of life. The households (not working) as well as those with morning jobs (6 hours) reported an increase in quality of life. Although the Egyptian low FODMAP diet was expensive (in terms of gluten‐free wheat), 67% were adherent to it (18.16 ± 6.85).ConclusionAs a first step in Egypt, the low FODMAP diet was effective in improving the quality of life of CD patients with FGID.
