| Core Tip |
A patient-reported outcome (PRO) can be a clinically relevant outcome measure of disease impact and treatment response in both clinical trials and primary care. The practical use and dissemination of PRO as a diagnostic and evaluation tool is anticipated; however, most PROs are lengthy and complicated. Therefore, we developed a simple, easy-to-understand and multifaceted PRO instrument, the gastroesophageal reflux and dyspepsia therapeutic efficacy and satisfaction test (GERD-TEST). The psychometric characteristics of the GERD-TEST were excellent, demonstrating good validity and reliability. The GERD-TEST enabled a multifaceted evaluation not only of the severity of symptoms, but also of the impact of the symptoms on daily life, the therapeutic response as assessed by the patient. The GERD-TEST is expected to be a useful diagnostic/treatment tool for both clinical research and in daily clinical practice settings. |
