“…Moreover. many recent studies employing computer analysis have enabled us to evaluate the diagnostic value of symptoms and signs more accurately (15)(16)(17)(18)(19) . These studies suggest that detailed analysis is called for in order to obtain more reliable diagnostic indicators from the symptoms or signs.…”

“…the symptoms and signs of peptic ulcer have been studied extensively. Many authors have pointed out that it is not easy to diagnose an ulcer in terms of patients' symptoms and signs alone (12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19). This is because many patients with an ulcer do not produce typical ulcer symptoms.…”

SummaryIt is not well known which symptoms or signs related to peptic ulcer are crucial for its diagnosis in children. In order to clarify this problem, we evaluated the sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictability of 13 ulcer‐related symptoms and signs. The data of 160 patients, who were suspected of having peptic ulcer and had undergone endoscopic examinations, were studied. It was significant that five symptoms, i.e., presence of pain in the epigastrium, relationship between the time of pain and that of eating, family history, vomiting, and bleeding, were frequently found in ulcer patients. There was, however, no symptom or sign that predicted by itself precisely the existence of a peptic ulcer. Thus, we computed a discriminant function by combining the data by multivariate analysis. With this score, we could predict the existence of ulcer more precisely. Finally, it was concluded (a) that epigastric pain, food‐related pain, vomiting, bleeding, and family history were crucial factors for the diagnosis of peptic ulcer in childhood and (b) that an overall consideration of symptoms and signs was needed for the evaluation of these factors.

Background: Peptic ulcers and other gastric lesions are significant medical conditions. Endoscopy is one useful diagnostic tool, the use of which is dependent on patient selection. Objectives: This study attempts to explore how predictive selected symptoms may be, along with their characteristics in diagnosing peptic ulcers and other gastric lesions in patients undergoing endoscopy. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 152 patients referred to the endoscopic unit at Al-Sadr teaching hospital in Basrah. The patients were carefully interviewed to determine clinical and sociodemographic characteristics. They were subjected to endoscopic examination by a specialist physician, and their results were recorded on the same information sheet. Data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Science, version 20. Results: Given the complexity of the risk factors, clinical manifestations and diagnostic techniques, it seems difficult to predict which patients are likely to have peptic ulcers and which are not. In this study, only self-reported stress and H pylori infection were found to significantly predict the likelihood of peptic ulcers among patients subjected to endoscopic examination. Conclusions: Patients subjected to endoscopy are expected to have a variety of gastric lesions, including peptic ulcer. A substantial proportion of these patients were entirely lesion free. Key words: Prediction, peptic ulcer, Basrah, endoscopy
