Association of Functional Dyspepsia Symptom Diary Score and Other Scores Related to Functional Dyspepsia and Its Severity

Completed
Conditions
Functional Dyspepsia
Registration Number
NCT04953975
Lead Sponsor
Air Force Military Medical University, China
Brief Summary

Functional dyspepsia (FD) is a common functional gastrointestinal disease. Several patient-reported outcome questionnaires have been established to evaluate the severity of FD, including Dyspepsia Symptom Severity Index (DSSI), Nepean Dyspepsia Index (NDI), and Short-Form Nepean Dyspepsia Index (SF-NDI). Functional Dyspepsia Symptom Diary (FDSD) is a newly symptom-focused patients-reported outcome measure raised by the Patient-Reported Outcome Consortium's Functional Dyspepsia Working Group. The association of the novel FDSD and other scores-related to FD has not been fully investigated. Furthermore, the severity of FD is varied among different patients. It remains unclear how the moderate and severe FD can be defined by the FDSD.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Functional Dyspepsia Symptom Diary1 day

The FDSD consists of 5 cardinal items (burning in the stomach, stomach pain, bloating, postprandial fullness, and early satiety) and 3 supplementary items (nausea, burping/belching rating, and burping/belching bother). Each item can be scored from 0 (no) to 10 (worst). Total Symptom Score includes the 5 cardinal items and ranges from 0 to 50.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Severity of FD judged by patients1 day

Patients were asked to rate the severity of FD as mild, moderate, and severe.

Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale (GSRS)1 day

The GSRS contains 15 items. All individual items are scored on a 7-point Likert scale (1 = not at all to 7 = extremely) and are subsequently clustered into five domains (abdominal pain, reflux, indigestion, diarrhea, and constipation); higher scores indicate more severe symptoms.

Dyspepsia Symptom Severity Index (DSSI)1 day

The DSSI contains 20 items. All individual items are scored on a 5-point Likert scale (0 = not at all to 4 = extremely) and are subsequently clustered into three domains (Dysmotility-like, Reflux-like, and Ulcer-like); higher scores indicate more severe symptoms.

Short Form of Nepean Dyspepsia Index (SF-NDI)1 day

The SF-NDI consists of 10 questions regarding the effects of dyspepsia symptoms ("stomach problems") on different aspects of life (tension, interference with daily activities, eating/drinking, knowledge/control, and work/study). Each response can be from 1 (not at all affected) to 5 (extremely affected), or 0 (N/A), for a total summed score out of 50.

Hamilton Anxiety and Depression Scale1 day

Anxiety and depression of patients are assessed by using Hamilton Anxiety and Depression Scale.

Severity of FD judged by physicians1 day

Physicians rated the patients' severity of FD as mild, moderate, and severe.
