GERD

 

To conclude, the study has produced a questionnaire in Spanish, semantically and conceptually equivalent to the original English version, which can be considered useful as a diagnostic tool, as well as for observing response to GERD treatment in clinical and population studies in Spain. The next phase of the project will include a review of the psychometric properties of the adapted questionnaire, comparing them with the original questionnaire.
