What this trial studies

This is an observational analysis using data from a prospective registry to describe demographics, clinical features, psychological status, and treatment patterns of GERD patients in China. Researchers will retrospectively extract baseline and follow-up data, including diagnostic findings, preoperative psychology, surgical outcomes, and symptom changes after treatment. The goal is to understand real-world care and post-treatment quality of life in a large cohort. The study leverages data from Beijing Friendship Hospital and uses clinical information for future research.
