“…Most frequently done investigations like upper GI endoscopy and 24 hour oesophageal pH monitoring lack sensitivity and have several limitations 21-23 . Questionnaire-based diagnosis of GERD is reliable with high sensitivity and specificity 18 .…”

“…These cross-sectional and longitudinal surveys assessed association of GERD with a number of sociodemographic factors such as age, gender, education, occupation, smoking, body mass index (BMI), lifestyle etc. The Questionnaire by Manterola et al 18 provided a valid & reliable scale to detect GERD with a high sensitivity (91.6%) and specificity (94.9%) and it was brief and simple. Significant difference exists between urban and rural population of Bangladesh in respect to sociocultural, and environmental factors, which may affect epidemiological features.…”

Despite a common disorder population-based data on gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD) in Bangladesh is lacking. This epidemiological study was designed to determine the prevalence of GERD and its association with lifestyle factors. This population-based cross-sectional study was done by door to door interview of randomly selected persons in both urban and rural areas of North Eastern part of Bangladesh by using a validated questionnaire. A cutoff point 3 was chosen as a valid and reliable scale to confirm GERD. Statistical analysis was done by SPSS-12 version and the level of significance was set at P≤0.05. A total of 2000 persons with an age range of 15 to 85 years were interviewed; 1000 subjects from urban area and 1000 from rural area. Among the study subjects 1064 were male and 936 were female. A total of 110 persons (5.5%) were found to have GERD symptoms and among them 47 were men and 67 were women. The monthly, weekly and daily prevalence of heart-burn and or acid regurgitation was 5.5%, 5.25% and 2.5% respectively. Female sex, increased age and lower level of education were significantly associated with GERD symptoms. Prevalence was found more among city dwellers (approximately 6.0% versus 4.8%), married (6.23%, n=86), widowed/widowers (16.83%, n=17) and day labourer (8.78%). Level of education inversely influenced the prevalence. No significant association of GERD was found with body mass index (BMI) and smoking. Prevalence of GERD in North-Eastern part of Bangladesh was lower than that of western world. Prevalence was found higher in urban population, women, married, widowed/widowers and in poor and illiterate persons. BMI and smoking had no significant association with GERD.

“…The presence or absence of other co-morbidities commonly found in asthma were assessed by validated questionnaires: the Nijmegen questionnaire was used to quantify levels of hyperventilation with a value of >23 suggestive of hyperventilation 8 and a gastro-oesophageal reflux score was used to assess levels of reflux experienced by the patients, again with higher scores indicating higher levels of reflux. 9 …”

“…The NDSS was previously validated through correlations with other variables in a group that varied continuously in dependence . The "defined groups" or "extreme groups" comparisons in this study complement that approach by using pre-defined group membership as a criterion variable to establish the validity of the measures (Manterola et al, 2002;Messick, 1995), even though the scale would typically be administered to samples representing the full range of dependence. Finally, we also assessed the concurrent validity of NDSS scales within the chippers group, where restriction of range should make such discriminations challenging.…”

“…An alternative approach to validation is the extreme-groups or criterion-group design, in which subject groups that are known to represent extremes on the relevant dimension are contrasted on the measure under consideration (Manterola et al, 2002;Messick, 1995). In other words, the validity of the NDSS can also be assessed by determining whether it robustly distinguishes nicotine-dependent and nondependent smokers.…”

The nicotine dependence syndrome scale (NDSS) is a new multi-dimensional measure of nicotine dependence, yielding five scores for different aspects of dependence as well as a total score. In this study, we tested the NDSS in a young adult sample (mean age = 24), using an extreme-groups comparison between non-dependent smokers (chippers, n = 123) and regular smokers (n = 130). Scores on each NDSS subscale strongly discriminated between the groups, with the NDSS-total discriminating them almost perfectly. The subscales were generally independent discriminators, demonstrating the discriminant validity of the subscales. NDSS scales also discriminated levels of intake and dependence within the chippers group, suggesting that the scales were sensitive to individual differences even at the very low end of the dependence continuum.
