CURRENT STATUS OF REFRACTORYGASTROESOPHAGEAL REFLUX DISEASEAND THE DEMAND FOR BUILDING MOBILE APPLICATION TO SUPPORT FOR MANAGEMENT
Main Article Content
Abstract
The survey was conducted from 4/2020 to 8/2020 to assess the current situation of refractory gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and the need of using a mobile application (app) to support patients in GERD management. 101 doctors mainly from the internal medicine department in hospitals participated in the study, 97% of them have ever treated patients having gastroesophageal reflux disease, 88% of doctors have ever met patients who had refractory GERD. 71,7% of doctors reported the rate of refractory GERD in clinical practice is ≥10%. 100% of doctors agreed to develop a mobile application for GERD management. Combining with other medications, increasing the dose or switching to another PPI are the most common strategies for refractory GERD patients. The features that the doctors recommended for the app areinstructions on diet, daily activities, providing information about GERD, and buildingan interactive channel between doctors and patients.
