The role of hypervigilance in chronic esophageal diseases: a scoping review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Hypervigilance has emerged as an important construct in esophageal symptom reporting, but a review of the literature does not currently exist. This scoping review aimed to generate a comprehensive overview of the literature on hypervigilance in esophageal diseases and summarize the evidence for each esophageal disease.

Methods

Guided by the Joanna Briggs Institute scoping review methodology, articles that were peer-reviewed original studies, published in English, and included adult patients with at least one esophageal disease were included. Articles were retrieved from PubMed and Embase databases and screened first by title and abstract for an initial round of exclusions, and then again by full text for a second round of exclusions.
