Abstract

Objective: This was to study results of upper gastrointestinal endoscopy on the patients at the outpatient department (OPD) and inpatient department (IPD), Nakhon Nayok Hospital.

Methods: This was a retrospective review of cases in Nakhon Nayok Hospital. The simple random sampling had performed one year, from January 1, 2018 - December 31, 2018 and gathered 185 samples. The data were analyzed using frequency, percentage, mean  and chi-square test.

Results: The study results found that the most common indications for upper gastrointestinal endoscopy were upper gastrointestinal bleeding in 96 patients (51.9%), followed by abdominal pain in 40 patients (21.6%) and Iron deficiency anemia  in 12 patients (6.5%). The common diagnoses after performing the esophagogastroduodenoscopy were gastritis (46.5%) gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer (36.0%), and  esophageal or gastric varices (7.0%).The causes of bleeding in the upper gastrointestinal tract were gastric ulcer (47.5%), esophageal varices (29.5%) ,and duodenal ulcers (18.0%).In addition, it was found that the rate of recurrent bleeding was 26.2%. Of those, the occurrence of esophageal varices bleeding was 25.0%.(4 from 16 patients).

Conclusion: Gastritis was the most common diagnosis of an upper gastrointestinal endoscopy in Nakhon Nayok Hospital. Gastric and duodenal ulcers were the leading cause of upper gastrointestinal bleeding. An early upper gastrointestinal endoscopy was a safe and useful examination to investigate symptoms, diagnose conditions and determine its treatment. This should be used as the first examination to detect the causes of bleeding from the upper digestive tract.
