POLAR-STUDY: Polish AntiReflux Study (POLAR)
POLAR-STUDY: Polish AntiReflux Study - A Prospective Multicenter Observational Study of Antireflux Surgery in Poland
The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the current practice and outcomes of surgical treatment for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in adults undergoing antireflux surgery in Poland. The study aims to identify factors associated with successful treatment and postoperative outcomes in routine clinical practice. The main questions it aims to answer are:
What are the current indications, preoperative diagnostic pathways, and surgical techniques used for antireflux surgery in Poland? Which patient- and procedure-related factors are associated with symptom resolution, improved quality of life, and postoperative outcomes following antireflux surgery?
Participants will:
undergo antireflux surgery according to routine clinical practice at participating centers; undergo standard preoperative diagnostic evaluation, including investigations performed as part of routine care; complete clinical and quality-of-life assessments before surgery and during follow-up at 30 days and 12 months after surgery.

Detaljeret beskrivelse
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is one of the most common gastrointestinal disorders worldwide and is associated with impaired quality of life and an increased risk of long-term complications. Although antireflux surgery is an established treatment option for appropriately selected patients, considerable variation exists in patient selection, preoperative diagnostic work-up, surgical techniques, and postoperative management between centers.
POLAR-STUDY (Polish AntiReflux Study) is a prospective, multicenter observational study designed to evaluate the real-world practice of antireflux surgery in Poland. Consecutive adult patients undergoing surgical treatment for GERD at participating surgical centers will be enrolled. The study is observational and will not interfere with routine diagnostic or therapeutic management.
Clinical data collected during routine care will include patient demographics, medical history, preoperative investigations (including upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, esophageal pH monitoring, and high-resolution manometry when performed), indications for surgery, operative technique, and perioperative outcomes. Follow-up assessments will be conducted at 30 days and 12 months after surgery to evaluate reflux symptom control, quality of life, postoperative complications, and the need for reintervention.
The primary objective is to characterize contemporary antireflux surgical practice in Poland and to identify factors associated with successful surgical outcomes. The results are expected to provide nationwide real-world evidence that may contribute to optimizing patient selection, standardizing perioperative management, and improving the quality of surgical care for patients with GERD.

Adults Undergoing Antireflux Surgery
Adult patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) undergoing antireflux surgery at participating centers in Poland.
Participants will receive standard diagnostic evaluation, surgical treatment, and postoperative follow-up according to routine clinical practice.
The study is observational and does not alter standard patient management.
Clinical, operative, and follow-up data will be collected prospectively to evaluate surgical practice and treatment outcomes.
|
Participants will be followed prospectively as part of routine clinical care after antireflux surgery.
The study does not modify standard diagnostic or therapeutic management.
Clinical, operative, and follow-up data, including preoperative evaluation, perioperative outcomes, reflux symptoms, quality of life, postoperative complications, and the need for reintervention, will be collected at baseline, 30 days, and 12 months after surgery.
