[Comparative characteristics of treatment quality and quality of life in gastroenterological patients supervised by gastroenterologist and therapeutist].
There was an analysis of the results of a 5-year observation over 226 patients with the most prevailing digestive apparatus diseases: stomach ulcer and duodenal ulcer (SU and DU), chronic pancreatitis (CP), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) in an outpatient clinic. Patients were supervised by gastroenterologists (168 patients) and therapeutists (58 patients). It was noted that supervision of the patients by gastroenterologists authentically reduces the frequency of hospitalizations and duration of their stay on the sick-list as compared with the patients being observed by therapeutists and results in higher indices of life quality (LQ) among the patients.
