A questionnaire for assessment of the result of peptic ulcer surgery.

Details of a 22-item questionnaire used to assess the result of surgery for peptic ulcer are given. Tested in 47 patients the questionnaire correlates well with the Visick grading. The 100-mm line test and post-operative alkali consumption are less accurate measures of outcome. As an alternative to the Follow-Up Clinic, as a potential predictor of result, and as an indicator of the quality of life, the questionnaire has much to offer.

Patient's assessment of the result of surgery for peptic ulcer.

The assessment of the result of surgery for peptic ulcer is based on doctor-determined criteria. Failure to distinguish one operation as being better than another may be because these criteria do not include the patient's rating of outcome. A questionnaire based on patients' descriptions of the quality of result has been tested in 63 patients. Preliminary figures show that success in the opinion of the patient does not necessarily mean absence of symptoms, while failure is due more to psychosocial than physical factors. A logical step in the planning of controlled trials is preoperative control of admission to the trial.
