Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Dyspepsia symptoms responder rate post treatment

A responder status is defined as patients reaching both a decrease of at least 50% regarding the Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale (GSRS) score, and either symptom-free or markedly improved in the Global Patient Assessment (GPA) . GSRS consists of 15 items for assessment of gastrointestinal symptoms. The 15 items include five symptom clusters: Reflux, Abdominal pain, Indigestion, Diarrhoea and Constipation. Each item is rated on a 7-point Likert scale. The reliability and validity of the GSRS are well-documented. GSRS can be self-administered in approximately 3\~5 minutes. The GPA asks patients the question "Please rate the strength of your upper abdominal complaints in the past 14 days. Please select how much they have changed compared to the condition at the onset of treatment: symptom-free, markedly improved, slightly improved, unchanged, worse".

Time frame: From enrollment to the end of 4 weeks post enrollment

Secondary Outcomes
