Introducción

La carga clínica y socioeconómica de la enfermedad por reflujo gastroesofágico es considerable.

Objetivo

Describir el impacto de la pirosis como síntoma principal de la enfermedad por reflujo gastroesofágico sobre la calidad de vida relacionada con la salud en España, usando instrumentos de medida de la enfermedad, genéricos y específicos de los resultados comunicados por los pacientes.

Pacientes y métodos

Pacientes con pirosis completaron las versiones españolas de la Escala de Evaluación de Síntomas Gastrointestinales (GSRS), del Cuestionario de Calidad de Vida de Reflujo y Dispepsia (QOLRAD), el Short Form-36 (SF-36) y la Escala Hospitalaria de Ansiedad y Depresión (HAD). También se registraron la frecuencia y gravedad de la pirosis durante los 7 días previos.

Resultados

Completaron el seguimiento 158 pacientes (edad: 51 ± 16; mujeres: 58%). El 61% de los pacientes tenían síntomas moderados y el 73% habían presentado síntomas 3 o más días en la semana previa. Los pacientes estaban más preocupados por los síntomas de reflujo (media del GSRS: 3,8, sobre una escala de 1 —no preocupado— a 7 —muy preocupado—), dolor abdominal (3,1) e indigestión (3,1). Como consecuencia de sus síntomas tuvieron problemas con la comida y la bebida (media del QOLRAD: 4,5, sobre una escala de 1 a 7, donde 1 representa el impacto más grave sobre el funcionamiento diario), de vitalidad (4,7) y de estrés emocional (4,8). Esto condujo a un empeoramiento global de la calidad de vida relacionada con la salud en todos sus dominios (media del SF-36 de esta población con pirosis, comparada con la población general española). Según la escala de la HAD, el 28% de los pacientes tenían ansiedad y el 13% estaban deprimidos.

Conclusión

Existe una consistente evidencia de que la enfermedad por reflujo gastroesofágico empeora sustancialmente todos los aspectos de la calidad de vida relacionada con la salud.

Introduction

The clinical and socioeconomic burden of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is considerable.

Aim

The aim of this study was to describe the impact of heartburn on patients' health-related quality of life (HRQL) in Spain, using validated generic and disease-specific instruments to measure patient-reported outcomes.

Patients And Methods

Patients with symptoms of heartburn completed the Spanish versions of the Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale (GSRS), the Quality of Life in Reflux and Dyspepsia questionnaire (QOLRAD), the Short Form- 36 (SF-36) and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression (HAD) scale. The frequency and severity of heartburn in the previous 7 days were also recorded.

Results

One hundred fifty-eight patients completed the assessments (mean age: 51 years, SD = 16; 58% female). Sixtyone percent of the patients had moderate symptoms and 73% had symptoms on three or more days in the previous week. Patients were most bothered by symptoms of reflux (mean GSRS score of 3.8 on a scale of 1 [not bothered] to 7 [very bothered]), abdominal pain (3.1) and indigestion (3.1). As a result of their symptoms, patients experienced problems with food and drink (mean QOLRAD score of 4.5 on a scale of 1 to 7, where 1 represents the most severe impact on daily functioning), impaired vitality (4.7) and emotional distress (4.8). This led to impaired overall HRQL across all domains (mean SF-36 score of this heartburn population compared with a general population in Spain). The HAD scale showed that 28% of patients were anxious and 13% were depressed.

Conclusion

There is consistent evidence that GERD substantially impairs all aspects of HRQL.
