Trial Outcomes & Findings for Clinical Improvement and in Quality of Life-Functional Dyspepsia- (NCT NCT01802710)

NCT ID: NCT01802710

Last Updated: 2019-06-21

Results Overview

The Dyspepsia Related Health Scale (DRHS) is a self-reported dyspepsia-specific questionnaire that consists of four scales: severity of common symptoms, pain intensity, pain disability, and satisfaction with dyspepsia-related health. The score, for each scale, ranges between 0 and 100, with 0 representing the most severe situation and 100 the least severe. It also yields a global score that ranges from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating less severe dyspepsia. The adapted and validated Spanish version of this questionnaire is known as QoL-PEI (Quality of Life in relation to Stomach and Intestinal Problems Questionnaire). Its reliability was found to be satisfactory (Cronbach's alpha 0.92). Its factorial analysis confirmed the four scales found by the DRHS but added a global score scale. The convergent validity was moderate (0.54).

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Participants will be followed at the recruit moment (t0) after treatment (t1) and six months after treatment (t2)

Population: the number analyzed in the rows differs from overall number analyzed because, as it is occur in follow-up studies, patients were lost from T0 to T1.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Subjective clinical improvement it is measured after treatment (t1) and six months after treatment (t2)

Subjective clinical improvement was measured by a question about how patients feel in regard to the functional dyspepsia ("In relation to functional dyspepsia, how would you rate your health now? a)much better; b) quite a lot better; c) somewhat better; d) about the same; e) somewhat worse; f) quite a lot worse; g) much worse

OTHER_PRE_SPECIFIED outcome

Timeframe: Participants will be followed at the recruit moment (t0) after treatment (t1) and six months after treatment (t2)

Population: The number analyzed in the rows differs from overall number analyzed because, as it is occur in follow-up studies, patients were lost from T0 to T2.

It is a 14-item measure: 7 items evaluate depression (the HADS-D subscale) and 7 evaluate anxiety (the HADS-A subscale). For each subscale items range from 0 to 21. A subscale score of 0-7 indicates the absence of anxiety or depression; a score of 8-10 indicates a possible case of anxiety or depression; and a score of 11 or higher indicates the presence of anxiety or depression. It has been adapted and validated in a Spanish population
