Brief Summary:
Proton pump inhibitor (PPI) twice daily dosing regimen-a standard dose therapy for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)-is an effective therapy for uncomplicated GERD in systemic sclerosis (SSc) but there is no data of response rate of standard dose of PPI and predictors of PPI-partial response (PPI-PR) GERD in SSc.Objectives of the study were to determine the prevalence of omeprazole partial response GERD in SSc and to define the predictors of PPI-PR GERD in SSc. Adult SSc patients having GERD were treated with omeprazole 20 mg twice daily 30 minutes before meal for 4 weeks. Severity of symptom-grading by visual analogue scale (VAS) and frequency of symptoms by frequency scale for symptoms of GERD (FSSG) were assessed at baseline and 4 weeks after treatment. PPI-PR GERD was defined by less than 50% improvement in VAS of severity of symptom and acid reflux score by FSSG after treatment compare to baseline.
