Secondary outcomes

Change in gastroesophageal reflux disease symptoms (The Structured Assessment of Gastrointestinal Symptoms Questionnaire).

Structured Assessment of Gastrointestinal Symptoms Scale (SAGIS) is a validated measure of the intensity and impact of 22 upper and lower gastrointestinal symptoms. Responses are given on a 5 point Likert scale from no problem, mild (can be ignored when you do not think about it), moderate (cannot be ignored, but does not influence daily activities), severe (influencing your concentration on daily activities) and very severe (markedly influences your daily activities \&/or requires rest) problem. In addition the SAGIS asks about the presence of selected non gastrointestinal symptoms including headache, chronic fatigue, back pain, sleep disturbances, depression and anxiety. The patient also answers the following questions, "In your own words, what is your most important health concern or problem?" and "In your own words, what is your second most important health concern or problem?
