is increasing. on to
diagnose GERD. It depends on the clinicians how to conduct
their investigations. They can use the GERDQ for the
assessment of symptoms or conduct an endoscopy to see if
there is abnormality in gastro intestinal tract of the
patients.Therefore, this research is done to know whether
the GERDQ can be used or not to predict the presence of
esophagitis in patients. We want to know if there is any
difference of gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD)
questionnaire scores in GERD patients with and without
esophagitis.
Aim: The aim of this study is to know the difference of
gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD) questionnaire score
in GERD patient with and without esophagitis.
endoscopy
Method: Cross sectional study design is used. 22 patients of
GERD patients who undergo examination at RSUP Dr.
Sardjito are selected for this research.
Results: P value results of the independent sample t test
for the variables is >0.05 (0.643), thus it is not
significant proved. GERD patients with NERD cases are more
reported than EE cases in this study.
Conclusion: There is no difference between GERDQ score of
GERD patients with and without esophagitis. |
