- The study investigates the health-related quality of life (HR-QOL) in functional dyspepsia (FD) patients compared to two other groups: endoscopic negative dyspeptic patients (non-FD) and healthy individuals.
- A total of 235 FD and non-FD patients, along with 111 healthy subjects, completed surveys assessing gastrointestinal symptoms, quality of life, and psychological factors.
- Results show that FD patients had significantly poorer HR-QOL and more gastrointestinal symptoms than non-FD patients and healthy subjects, indicating that symptom frequency likely affects their quality of life.
