Abstract

Introduction: This retrospective descriptive cross-sectional study was done to see upper gastrointestinal endoscopic findings in patients presenting with dysphagia. Materials and Methods: Reports of patients undergoing upper gastrointestinal endoscopy were retrieved from endoscopy records. Data regarding age, gender, and endoscopic features and impressions were collected. The data analysis was done using IBM SPSS® v21 (IBM, Armonk, New York). Frequency, proportions, mean ± SD, and range were calculated. Results: Out of 147 participants, the mean age of the participants was 53.46 ± 15.99 years. There was an equal proportion of participants of each gender (50.3% female and 49.6% male). The prevalence of endoscopic abnormalities was 93.8%. Most of the participants had carcinoma esophagus (38.7%, 57) followed by gastritis (35.3%, 52), gastric polyp (10.8%, 16), and duodenitis (8.8%, 13). Conclusion: Dysphagia is an alarming symptom that warrants prompt evaluation. With diagnostic and therapeutic value, upper GI (gastrointestinal) endoscopy remains a rapid initial effective tool in the evaluation of patients with dysphagia.

147例吞咽困难患者上消化道内镜表现谱分析

简介:这项回顾性描述性横断面研究是为了观察吞咽困难患者的上消化道内镜检查结果。材料和方法:从内镜记录中检索上消化道内镜患者的报告。收集有关年龄、性别、内窥镜特征和印象的数据。数据分析使用IBM SPSS®v21 (IBM, Armonk, New York)。计算频率、比例、均数±标准差和极差。结果:147名参与者平均年龄为53.46±15.99岁。男女参与者的比例相等(女性50.3%，男性49.6%)。内镜下异常发生率为93.8%。大多数参与者患有食道癌(38.7%，57人)，其次是胃炎(35.3%，52人)，胃息肉(10.8%，16人)和十二指肠炎(8.8%，13人)。结论:吞咽困难是一种值得警惕的症状，需要及时评估。由于具有诊断和治疗价值，上消化道内镜仍然是评估吞咽困难患者的快速有效工具。今日医学2022 Vol.34(2): 136-139
