Figure 3 Comparisons of gastroesophageal reflux disease-related quality of life and DeMeester scores at the time of the procedure, 6 months and 12 months after the procedure. A: Mean gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)-related quality of life (QOL) (50) score at the time of the procedure, 6 and 12 months postoperatively; B: Mean GERD-related QOL (30) score was highest at the time of the procedure, followed by those at 6 and 12 months postoperatively (P < 0.001); C: Mean DeMeester score was highest at the time of the procedure, followed by those at 6 and 12 months postoperatively (P < 0.001). GERD: Gastroesophageal reflux disease; QOL: Quality of life.
