Change in GERD Symptoms Primary · Time 0 (baseline) to 8 weeks

Change in the average daily GERD symptom severity score over a 7-day period from baseline to the last week of the study in the expanded vs. standard group. GERD symptom severity is based on the sum of scores assessing the severity of daytime heartburn, nighttime heartburn, and acid reflux each on a 0-4 point scale (none, mild, moderate, severe, very severe; higher scores signify worse symptoms). Possible score range = 0 - 12. Change score calculated as average score at 8 weeks minus average score at baseline. For statistical testing, we used a general linear model of post-GERD symptoms adjuste

Relationship of Physiologic Concordance in Skin Conductance Between Patient and Physician With Patients' GERD Symptom Change Secondary · Time 0 (baseline) to 8 weeks.

Concordance in skin conductance response (SCR) between patient and physician was calculated using an established approach to create a single index value for the visit (baseline). Average slopes of the SCR were calculated in moving 5 second windows, offset by 1 second. Pearson correlations between time-locked patient and physician SCR slopes were calculated over successive 15 second windows. A single session index was calculated from the ratio of the sum of the positive correlations across the entire visit divided by the sum of the absolute value of the negative correlations across the entire v
