Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the demographics, patients symptoms, and findings during endoscopy. Patients presenting for an endoscopy procedure to the KCVA GI endoscopy suite, will be asked to fill out questionnaires pertaining to their symptoms and indications for the procedure. This will be done before their procedure during the interview period preceding endoscopy. The patient's answers to this questionnaire will aid us in determining the prevalence of gastric and esophageal disease in patients presenting with the complaints of dyspepsia, GERD, or extraesophageal symptoms and to also determine whether the presence of any factors (hiatal hernia, NSAID use, age, race, gender, etc.) contribute to the above endoscopic diagnoses.
