Research paper thumbnail of Measuring symptom distress and health-related quality of life in clinical trials of gastroesophageal reflux disease treatment: further validation of the Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease Symptom Assessment Scale (GSAS)

Patients with moderately severe GERD completed the GSAS and SF-36 at baseline and four weeks following treatment. The age (mean +/- SD) of the 187 patients was 45.5 +/- 11.1 years and most were female (63%) and Caucasian (78%). All scales met the 0.70 reliability criterion except for the SF-36 bodily pain scale. Mean baseline GSAS scores were significantly (P < 0.001) poorer by 10-17% among patients reporting more severe levels of all symptoms. Mean baseline SF-36 physical component summary scores were significantly (P < 0.02) poorer among patients reporting more severe levels of regurgitation, early satiety, bloating, and nausea. Patients reporting complete and satisfactory heartburn relief reported improvements in GSAS scores that were 13% and 10% greater, respectively, than patients who did not ex...
