LOINC description : The Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease Questionnaire (GerdQ) is a 6-item questionnaire
that helps identify patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Patients
are asked to report frequency of symptoms over the past 7 days. If the administration
of the GerdQ produces a positive score for GERD, the Gastrointestinal Working Group
(WG) recommends performing a pH impedence test to confirm the results and determine
disease severity. Please see the Gastrointestinal WG Supplemental Information for
a pH impedence test protocol. The Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease Questionnaire (GerdQ)
is a proprietary instrument that is available for use with permission from AstraZeneca.
