Title: Oesophageal disease revealed by endoscopy in 1,000 patients referred primarily for gastroscopy. Author: Cronstedt J, Carling L, Vestergaard P, Berglund J. Journal: Acta Med Scand; 1978; 204(5):413-6. PubMed ID: 102120. Abstract: Of 1000 patients referred primarily for gastroscopy, almost 18% had endoscopic signs of clinically important oesophageal disease. Erosive oesophagitis, a disease that is notoriously difficult to diagnose on X-ray, was demonstrated in alsmot 10% and oesophageal varices in 3.6% of the patients. It is concluded that a thorough examination of the oesophagus should be included in every routine upper gastrointestinal endoscopy.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
