“…Almost 25% of our patients were using acid‐suppression medication 10 years after surgery. Previous studies have reported long‐term post‐operative acid‐suppression medication to range between 5.8% and 62% . In our study, 32% of the patients who were interviewed 20 years after surgery about the reason for taking acid‐suppression medication, reported only mild reflux symptoms or reasons not related to reflux.…”

“…Improvement in QoL after laparoscopic fundoplication for GERD has been shown using both instruments . Other studies have used the Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale alone or in conjunction with the Psychological General Wellbeing Index . The Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale was initially developed for irritable bowel syndrome and peptic ulcer, whereas the Psychological General Wellbeing Index is a measure of subjective well‐being .…”

Background Laparoscopic fundoplication is an effective treatment for gastro‐oesophageal reflux disease (GERD). We aimed to assess quality of life (QoL), long‐term residual symptoms, patient satisfaction and use of acid‐suppression medication at 5, 10 and 20 years after surgery. Methods We identified a cohort of 100 patients who underwent laparoscopic fundoplication between 1993 and 1998. The validated QoL questionnaires Short Form health survey (SF‐36), and Quality‐of‐Life in Reflux and Dyspepsia (QOLRAD), as well as a specific questionnaire regarding post‐fundoplication symptoms, were sent to the patients at 5, 10 and 20 years after surgery. Furthermore, patients who reported using the acid‐suppression medication after 20 years were interviewed by telephone regarding their reason for taking it. Results Eighty‐eight percent of the patients responded at 5 and 10 years post‐surgery. Twenty years following fundoplication, 68 (84% of those still alive) patients completed the questionnaires. The patients had equivalent health‐related QoL scores in both the QOLRAD and SF‐36 questionnaires after 10 and 20 years, and those scores were in line with a Swedish age‐matched population. After 20 years, 87% were satisfied with the results, and 84% of the patients would recommend reflux surgery to a relative or a friend. At the telephone interview, 32% (22/68) confirmed using acid‐suppression medication, but only half (11/68) used it because of reflux symptoms. Conclusion The long‐term, satisfying outcomes in GERD symptoms and QoL 5 and 10 years after surgery were maintained at a 20‐year follow‐up. Half of the patients used acid‐suppression medication for reasons other than GERD symptoms.

SUMMARY:Regardless of the subject area and design used, it has been verified that between 40% and 60% of the studies published in biomedical journals are articles about therapy or therapeutic procedures (TP). Anyone writing a manuscript related to therapy or TP or reading an article of this type must demand at the very least a clear, precise and concise objective with respect to the research conducted, explicit mention of the design used with the respective inherent methodological details, and the mention and execution of statistical tools and the measures of association, or at least the numbers needed to calculate these values. The aim of this manuscript is to present a synthesis of the fundamental elements for the correct writing, reading and assessment of such articles, regardless of the disciplinary area in which the research originated.
