Timely diagnosis of recurrence of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) after antireflux intervention contributes to the earlier rehabilitation of patients. The identification of GERD symptoms at the outpatient stage using the specialized GERD-HRQL questionnaire is considered promising. It will allow selecting patients for special cardia examinations. The purpose of the study. Evaluation of the information content of the GERD-HRQL questionnaire in the screening diagnosis of GERD recurrence after antireflux intervention in patients with axial hiatal hernia (AHH). Materials and methods. The analysis of the results of the survey on the GERD-HRQL questionnaire of 124 patients with GERD with AHH after the modified total video laparoscopic esophageal fundoplication was carried out. Patients were divided into 2 groups based on the generalized DeMeester index according to the results of 24-hour esophageal pH testing. Group 1 included 107 patients without GERD recurrence, group 2 included 17 patients with GERD recurrence (DeMeester index >14.72). Results. After surgery, in patients of the Group 1, the total score decreased by more than 8 times (89.12%) from the baseline (p<0.001), approaching the desired results of 0 points. When the disease recurred, the total score with a slight decrease (by 7.24 points; 27.1%; p=0.002) remained at a high level. Total points for heartburn significantly decreased in the Group 1 (by 18.62 points; 92.09%; p<0.001) and only by 6.18 points (28.1%) in the group with recurrence of GERD. Conclusion. Survey results on the GERD-HRQL questionnaire after antireflux intervention in patients with GERD with AHH reveal a recurrence of GERD in maintaining a high total scores, lack of dynamics of the main characteristics of the symptom of heartburn — its severity, increased horizontal position, in the morning and at night, after eating, which is the reason for special research.
