New system of evaluation of clinical signs of gastroesophageal reflux disease
Abstract
The aim of review. To carry out analysis of new system of evaluation of clinical signs of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
Original data. Review presents the characteristic of new system of evaluation of clinical signs of GERD, named ReQuest™ scale which includes 6 groups of clinical signs. Results of testing by this scale in clinical studies, and potentials of its application in combination to Los Angeles endoscopical classification were analysed.
Conclusion. Analysis, that was carried out, testifies that the new system of evaluation of clinical signs of GERD ReQuest ™ enables more detailed characteristic of clinical manifestations and more precise estimation of treatment efficacy.
