“…We reported gastric ulcers to be the second most predominant endoscopic finding 200 (11.4%) compared to duodenal ulcer which was 47 (2.7%). This was similar to findings in Enugu, South-eastern Nigeria [10] and in Ghana [1,7] but contrary to other studies which showed duodenal ulcers to be commoner in several other studies [13,17,19,26]. This may not be unconnected with the fact that NSAIDS are over the counter medications in Nigeria and easily accessible for pain management generally.…”

“…The mean age of the male patients was 42.50 ± 14.13 years, which was not statistically different from the mean for the female patients, 41.38 ± 16.73 years (p-value =0.1462). The study showed a male preponderance which is similar to several studies in Nigeria [10,13,16,17,18], however other studies quoted a female preponderance. [5, 7, 19 20].The findings in the present study showed that our patients were younger compared to other studies elsewhere including some parts of Nigeria [1,12,21].…”

“…Symptoms as related to structural lesions may occur at the level of esophagus, stomach or duodenum [3]. Oluwagbenga and colleagues in Ado-Ekiti [13] reported gastritis to be the commonest endoscopic findings in patients referred for UGIE (28.2%) while Onyekwere [9] in Lagos South-western Nigeria reported GERD as the commonest endoscopic findings [10]. Picardo et al in South-eastern a Nigeria reported gastritis (76.3%) and peptic ulcer disease (PUD) (18.5%) as the commonest structural lesions on endoscopy.…”

Upper gastrointestinal tract symptoms are associated with a major morbidity and mortality globally. Endoscopy offers direct visualization of the pathology and enables both diagnostic and therapeutic interventions. Request for the procedure is on the increase probably due to exposure to more risk factors or because of increased awareness about the disease. We aimed to study the indications and findings in patients referred for endoscopy. We enrolled a total of 1747 patients between January 2013-December 2019.Their demographic characteristics and findings on endoscopy were extracted from the endoscopy register. Males constituted 937 (53.7%), with a mean age of 42.50 ± 14.13 and females 41.38 ± 16.73. The age range of patients was 15-87 years. The commonest indication was dyspepsia 1122(64.2%).There was no significant statistical difference between gender with respect to dyspepsia (ꭓ2= 0.8511 pvalue = 0.3563. Upper gastro-intestinal bleeding (UGIB) was the second most common 10.3%, Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) 9.9%, and chronic liver disease (CLD) 8.0%.There was significant statistical difference in gender presentation of UGIB ( ꭓ2= 6.49 p-value= 0.0109 and CLD ꭓ2= 21.109 p-value= 0.00001).Gastritis was the predominant endoscopic finding, 628(35.9%). Esophageal varices were the c ommonest etiologic finding for UGIB (51.6%) and commoner in males (ꭓ2= 11.083 p-value= 0.0009), then gastric and duodenal ulcers, 11.4% and 2.7% respectively. Hiatus hernia was 157(9.0%) Upper gastrointestinal malignancies were 2.4%. In conclusion, dyspepsia is a common clinical presentation in patients with GIT symptoms. Variceal bleeding is a significant cause of UGIB, therefore early endoscopic CLD screening will help reduce morbidity and mortality in Nigeria.

“…7 A retrospective cohort study of patients who had upper gastrointestinal endoscopy for a period of 4 years in a rural hospital in Nigeria also showed male predominance (52.5%). 9 The similarities and disparities are likely due to the differences in health-seeking behaviors of people in different provinces and nations, along with the different design studies.…”

Introduction: Endoscopic examination is one of the commonest procedures done in day-to-day practice in evaluating gastrointestinal problems. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy provides an excellent view of mucosal surfaces of the esophagus, stomach, and proximal duodenum. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy is utilized for various diagnostic and therapeutic reasons. This study aimed to study the upper gastrointestinal endoscopy findings in a tertiary health care center in Pokhara. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted at Gandaki Medical College Teaching Hospital, Pokhara. After ethical approval from the institutional review board with Ref No: 070/2077/2078, endoscopic records of 889 patients undergoing upper gastrointestinal endoscopy from May 2018 to April 2019 were retrospectively reviewed. The convenience sampling method was used. Data entry and descriptive analysis were done in SPSS version 21.0. Descriptive statistics were performed. Results: A total of 889 patients undergoing upper gastrointestinal endoscopy during a period of 12 months period were studied. Among them, females were 472 (53.1%) and males were 417 (46.9%). The mean age of the study population was 45.6 years (SD, 16.86). The majority of the patients belonged to the age group 30 to 50 years. Gastritis was the most common finding in 452 (50.8%) cases, followed by gastroduodenal ulcer as the second commonest. Conclusions: Gastritis was the most common finding in the patients undergoing upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. A significant proportion of people had normal endoscopy findings. Optimal selection of cases is needed to avoid overuse in younger and encourage use in older populations.
