Methods: An authorization for translating the survey into Spanish was obtained from the survey authors. The translation and cross-cultural adaptations were carried out based on guidelines and international criteria proposed by Sperber. The NEQOL was translated independently from English into Spanish by two professional translators. Each one provided a written report, which was combined by the authors in a new version that contained the most reliable translation for each question. The new version was back translated to English by two different professional translators, who were blinded to the original version of the NEQOL. A new English version was developed by combining the written reports. The aim of the back translation was to compare each item of the new English version with the original NEQOL. Each item of the new English version was compared with the original questionnaire by 30 native English speakers. The success of the translation was evaluated using two scales of comparison: comparability of language and similarity of interpretability. Each one used Likert scales ranging from 1 (extremely comparable/ extremely similar) to 7 (not at all comparable/ not at all similar). A mean score for each question was obtained. Questions with mean scores of three or less were included in the Spanish version. The Spanish version of the NEQOL was tested on 10 subjects diagnosed with GERD, each subject provided feedback on the survey content, which was used to make final corrections. The questionnaire contains fourteen questions; every statement refers to the impact of the esophageal condition in the quality of life. There are five options ranking from not at all true to very true, with every option meaning a numerical value, a higher grade in the questionnaire will express a better quality of life and a low impact in the health-related quality of life.
