Predictors of Proton Pump Inhibitor Response in Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease Patients

Completed
Conditions
Erosive Reflux Disease
Non-erosive Reflux Disease
Functional Heartburn
Registration Number
NCT01797939
Lead Sponsor
Seoul National University Bundang Hospital
Brief Summary

Proton pump inhibitor (PPI) is widely used in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), however, some patients fail to respond to PPI therapy. Recent reporters suggest that depressive disorders, anxiety, sleep dysfunction were related with the symptomatic responses to a PPI treatments. Nevertheless, the predictive factors of response to PPI treatment still remain controversial. Therefore, the aims of this study were to investigate the efficacy of PPI therapy, and to evaluate the predictors of the PPI response in patients with symptomatic GERD by using the questionnaire which consisted of GERD symptoms, GERD impact scale (GIS), Epworth sleepiness scale (ESS), Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI), Hospital anxiety and depression scale (HADS), and WHO quality of life scale abbreviated version (WHOQOL-BREF).

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Efficacy of PPI therapy in these erosive reflux disease (ERD), non-erosive reflux disease (NERD), and functional heartburn (FH) groupsAfter 8 weeks of initial PPI administration

Responses of dyspeptic symptoms were classified into 4 sections, as follows: complete response (more than 80% of symptom resolution), satisfactory response (symptoms remained less than 50%), partial response (symptoms remained for more than 50%), and refractory response (unresponsive to the eradication therapy). Then, the symptom responses were classified into 2 groups: responder with complete or satisfactory subgroup, and non-responder with partial or refractory responder subgroup.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Predictors of the response to PPI treatment in patients with symptomatic GERDAfter 8 weeks of initial PPI administration

The participants were evaluated the predictors of PPI response by using the questionnaire which consisted of GERD symptoms, GERD impact scale (GIS), Epworth sleepiness scale (ESS), Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI), Hospital anxiety and depression scale (HADS), and WHO quality of life scale abbreviated version (WHOQOL-BREF).
