Abstract

Objective: To investigate the prevalence, clinical symptoms, and GERD-Q scores in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, and to evaluate the association between GERD-Q scores and certain characteristics of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Subjects and Methods: A prospective, cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 300 inpatients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus at the Department of Endocrinology, Hanoi Medical University Hospital, from September 2024 to June 2025. Data was collected through direct interviews, review of medical records, and documented in research case report forms. All data were entered into Microsoft Excel and analyzed using SPSS software version 26.0. Results: Common GERD symptoms included heartburn (46.7%), regurgitation (42.3%), and nighttime sleep disturbances (59.7%), typically occurring 1–3 days per week. The proportion of patients diagnosed with GERD using a GERD-Q cut-off ≥ 8 was 7.0%. Age group (≥ 65 vs. < 65 years) and concomitant heart failure were significantly associated with GERD-Q scores (p = 0.019 and p = 0.013, respectively). Conclusion: The prevalence of GERD diagnosed using the GERD-Q questionnaire in this study was relatively low, possibly due to symptom overshadowing within the clinical context of type 2 diabetes mellitus. A thorough assessment of GERD symptoms in this patient population is warranted to ensure appropriate management.
