ABSTRACT
Measurement of treatment satisfaction in gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD) is compromised by an insufficient conceptual foundation and poor assessment methods. The current state of the art in measuring treatment satisfaction is incomplete, and the existing measurement is insufficient. Here, the definition, conceptualisation, application, and methodological issues associated with measurement of treatment satisfaction in GORD are reviewed. Treatment satisfaction may be important for differentiating among GORD treatments, and for monitoring patient outcomes in clinical practice.

Keywords: gastro-oesophageal reflux disease; patient reported outcomes; questionnaire; measurement instruments; treatment satisfaction

Abbreviations: GORD, gastro-oesophageal reflux disease; PROs, patient reported outcomes; HRQoL, health related quality of life; SODA, severity of dyspepsia assessment; TSQ, treatment satisfaction questionnaire
