GERD
Conditions
Brief summary
This is a pilot study measuring a new diagnosis and treatment system EAISMLP in adult patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
Detailed description
The investigators created a new diagnosis and treatment system for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). The system based on endoscopy, 24h esophageal pH-impedance monitoring, esophagus high resolution manometry and psycological condition.the investigators named it as EAISMLP symptom. Each letter in EAISMLP is responsible for a typical character and treatment. Subjects will be subtyped according to EAISMLP system and underwent treatment, and will be follow up for 6 months and 1 years.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Satisfaction of the EAISMLP system on GERD symptoms assessed by the HRQL scores. | Change from Baseline HRQL scores at 1 month;Change from Baseline HRQL scores at 2 months;Change from Baseline HRQL scores at 6 months;Change from Baseline HRQL scores at 1 year | mean improvement in the GERD-health-related quality of life (HRQL) scores. Scale ranges 0-50 points, the lower score means the better efficacy. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Satisfaction of the EAISMLP system on life quality assessed by the SF-36 scores. | Change from Baseline SF-36 scores at 1 month;Change from Baseline SF-36 scores at 2 months;Change from Baseline SF-36 scores at 6 months;Change from Baseline SF-36 scores at 1 year | mean improvement in SF-36 scores.Scale ranges 0-100 points, the higher score means the better efficacy. |
