The PRO was developed by the digestive department of Xiyuan hospital. Considering the clinical characteristics of patients with chronic gastrointestinal diseases in China, we have spended two years to collect measurement indicators, screen and optimizing items, implement pre-survey of small samples and field survey, and finally formulated this current PRO. It contains 35 items in six dimensions (regurgitation, dyspepsia, physical status, ability to life, defecation situation and mental state). Our analysis of 274 questionnaires show that the PRO has good reliability and validity in reflecting the situation of chronic gastrointestinal diseases. Every item in PRO has five levels of discomfort(never, occasionally, sometimes, often, always) and they respectively represent the score of 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4.
