Clinicoendoscopic Correlation in Patients of Dyspepsia under Evaluation in Tertiary Care Centre

Abstract Introduction: Dyspepsia is one of the most common clinical problems in the gastrointestinal patient population. Health-related quality-of-life indices in untreated dyspepsia approximate those observed in chronic kidney disease and moderate heart failure, underscoring the clinical importance of timely evaluation and management 1. Result: The study cohort had a mean age of 44.8 years. Females comprised a slight majority (57.5%) compared to males (42.5%). Most participants resided in urban areas (60.0%), while 40.0% were from rural settings. Discussion: Our tertiary‑centre study of 160 consecutively evaluated adults provides a contemporary snapshot of that conundrum in the Indian sub‑continent. The cohort was middle‑aged (mean 44.8 years), predominantly female, largely urban and mostly non‑smoking.
