A new online database for functional dyspepsia (FD) was created to standardize research and treatment. This functional dyspepsia database offers comprehensive, accessible data for clinical studies.
Area of Science:
- Gastroenterology
- Clinical Informatics
- Epidemiology
Background:
- Functional dyspepsia (FD) lacks standardized clinical data for research.
- Epidemiological studies and treatment protocols require consistent data collection.
Purpose of the Study:
- To establish a comprehensive clinical database for functional dyspepsia.
- To standardize the diagnosis and treatment of FD through data collection.
- To support epidemiological research on functional dyspepsia.
Main Methods:
- Developed an online database using Visual Studio for functional dyspepsia patients since July 2013.
- Collected patient data via customized case report forms based on Rome criteria III.
- Implemented online data entry, case searches, and statistical analysis functionalities.
Main Results:
- The functional dyspepsia database includes general information, symptoms, psychological status, lifestyle, medical history, and treatment outcomes.
- Data encompasses diagnosis, treatment methods, and follow-up for FD patients.
- The database provides complete and standardized clinical parameters for FD.
Conclusions:
- The established online database is fully functional for functional dyspepsia research.
- It offers standardized and comprehensive data crucial for clinical studies and epidemiological research.
- The database facilitates consistent diagnosis and treatment strategies for FD.
