Validity and reliability of the Quality of Life in Reflux and Dyspepsia (QoLRAD) questionnaire in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease for the Turkish population.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/
aimsGastroesophageal reflux disease negatively affects quality of life. The aim is to improve quality of life because of high recurrence rate. There is a strong need for patient-reported outcome measures. The present study aimed to evaluate the validity and reliability of the Quality of Life in Reflux and Dyspepsia Questionnaire (QoLRAD) to adopt it into Turkish. MATERIALS AND
methodsA total of 142 patients with complaints of heartburn or regurgitation once a week or commonly diagnosed with 24-hour intraesophageal impedance-pH monitoring and/or upper gastrointestinal endoscopy were included in this study. Sociodemographic Data Collection Form, QoLRAD-TR, and Short Form-36 (SF-36) were applied to patients who were off proton pump inhibitors.
resultsThe Cronbach's alpha coefficient value of the questionnaire was 0.97, and the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) value of the result of test-retest method was between 0.97 (Vitality) and 0.99 (Eating/Drinking Disorders). There was a positive correlation between all subdomains of QoLRAD-TR and SF-36 scales. The lowest correlation (0.10) was between Emotional Distress and Role-emotional Limitations, and the highest (0.34) was between Energy and Vitality.
conclusionThe QoLRAD test measuring quality of life, except some subdomains in our study that we performed on patients diagnosed with GERD, was found to be valid and reliable.
