  • Title: [Dyspepsia in general practice].
    Author: Mediås IB.
    Journal: Tidsskr Nor Laegeforen; 1991 Aug 20; 111(19):2428-30. PubMed ID: 1926081.
    Abstract:
    110 patients who presented dyspeptic complaints to their general practitioner were interviewed using a questionnaire. Most patients had a long history of dyspeptic symptoms. 36 had been treated before for a peptic ulcer. Only 12 patients had a history of dyspepsia lasting less than three months. It is difficult to distinguish between organic and non-organic dyspepsia from the symptoms, and long-standing symptoms at any rate should be investigated further. The effect of medical treatment varies. Many patients have to live with their discomfort.
