[Analysis of indications and diagnosis of the gastroscopies requested by primary care physicians].

Abstract:

OBJECTIVES:To analyse the pathology diagnosed on the basis of the gastroscopies requested from a primary care centre (PCC). Assessment and treatment of Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection. DESIGN:Retrospective and descriptive. SETTING:Urban PCC. PATIENTS:Those over 14 who had a gastroscopy for a diagnostic purpose, requested by their primary care doctor during 1997. MEASUREMENTS:Review of clinical records and gastroscopy reports analysing: personal data, reasons for request, prior treatment, diagnoses, treatment to eradicate HP, later referral to the digestion specialist and waiting-time for the gastroscopy. RESULTS:206 gastroscopies were performed, 139 for epigastralgia (67%) and 73 for heartburn (35%). 161 patients (78%) had had previous treatment, with alkalines used in 94 cases (45%). The most common diagnoses were: 54 normal (26%), 60 hiatus hernias (30%), 43 oesophagitis (21%), 18 duodenal ulcers (9%) and 4 gastric ulcers (2%). The Helicobacter pylori study was positive in 67 cases, with triple treatment (amoxycillin, clarithromycin and omeprazole) to eradicate it given for 7 days in 36 cases (54%). Referral to the specialist of 3% of the patients. Waiting-time for the performance of the gastroscopy: 60 days (SD: 35). CONCLUSIONS:Gastroscopy is a diagnostic method habitually used in our PCC. The pathology diagnosed is mainly treated in primary care. Given the current controversy about actions at determined clinical entities, standardisation of criteria used by professionals at different care levels is very important. This standardisation should affect the indications of the examinations, and the treatment and follow-up of the pathologies. The reduction in waiting-time for a gastroscopy could possibly modify the prescription and duration of the prior treatment.
