Implication

Cross-sectional study reveals varied gastroduodenal lesion rates in adults referred for endoscopy, highlighting higher risks of peptic ulcers and neoplasia in older or infected patients.

Key Points

Erosive oesophagitis, Barrett's oesophagus, and peptic ulcer lesions occur frequently during routine upper endoscopy, particularly among older individuals.
Helicobacter pylori infection was confirmed in 22.6% of patients, and peptic ulcers occurred significantly more often in infected individuals (9.4%).
Cross-sectional, multicentre study of routine upper endoscopy highlights low precancerous lesion rates and supports targeted screening in older adults.
