Because of the absence of a validated Arabic tool to assess GERD symptoms, this study aimed to validate and culturally adapt the GERD questionnaire (GerdQ) tool to Arabic speakers.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Patients referred for pH testing with symptoms suggestive of GERD were recruited. A cross-sectional study was conducted from March 2023 to April 2023 by administering the Arabic GERD questionnaire (Ar-GerdQ) tool on two different occasions and comparing it with the short-form leeds dyspepsia questionnaire and the Reflux Symptom Index to establish reliability and construct validity.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      A total of 52 participants were included in the study. The results of the internal consistency analysis of the Ar-GerdQ indicate that the test has good reliability, with a Cronbach\u2019s alpha coefficient of 0.86 (95% CI: 0.75\u20130.91). Significant positive correlations with the short form leeds dyspepsia questionnaire (r = 0.59,\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt; 0.001, 95% CI: 0.29\u20130.78) and the reflux symptom index (r = 0.47,\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 0.01, 95% CI: 0.13\u20130.71) were demonstrated.
