The paper includes an error related to the prevalence of GERD symptoms as reported by Galmiche et al. [25] in Table 5. It should read as follows:
Author | Instrument | Symptom | Follow-up time (years) | More frequent in | Reported effect estimate |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Galmiche et al. [25] | Prevalence of GERD symptoms | Dysphagia | 5 | Surgical group | 5 versus 11 %; p < 0.001 |
Bloating | 5 | Surgical group | 28 versus 40 %; p < 0.001 | ||
Flatulence | 5 | Surgical group | 40 versus 57 %; p < 0.001 |
Results section, GERD-related symptoms:
Three studies reported flatulence/bloating to be more frequent after surgical intervention [17, 23, 24, 25], whereas two publications did not find a difference between the study arms [15, 22], and one additional publication reported higher rates for the medical arm [20].
Discussion section, 2nd paragraph:
However, the prevalence of dysphagia, flatulence and bloating tended to increase after fundoplication, and the results for other symptoms associated with the surgical intervention such as inability to belch or vomit, abdominal fullness, or increased abdominal girth were inconsistent.
