Background: Upper gastrointestinal disorders are commonly seen in routine clinical practice. The definitive diagnosis of upper gastrointestinal disorders rest on endoscopic evaluation and biopsy if required for planning proper treatment. The objectives of the study were to determine the spectrum of disease in upper gastrointestinal tract and to establish endoscopy as an effective tool in the proper diagnosis of various upper gastrointestinal tract disorders.
Methods: A prospective study was conducted among patients who presented with upper gastrointestinal symptoms at Gadag Institute Medical College, from August 2016 to August 2017, Gadag. After history taking and physical examination, patients were subjected to fibre-optic upper GI scopy.
Results: The result of present study showed male predominance associated with the upper GI disorders. Gastritis (45.65%) was the most common finding followed by normal exam (17.39%), GERD (6.83%), oesophageal cancer (2.17), Oesophagitis (4.34), gastric ulcer (9.31%), and gastric cancer (3.10%), duodenitis (5.90%) and oesophageal varices at 5.27% Gastritis is the most common upper GI disorder seen the patient population.
Conclusions: Upper GI endoscopy is an effective and appropriate approach for initial investigation to assess patients with GI symptoms. Thus, it helps early management gastric disorders.
