CONCORDANCE BETWEEN ENDOSCOPIC & HISTOLOGICAL DIAGNOSIS OF GASTRITIS IN THE DYSPEPTIC PATIENTS

Objective: The aim of this research work is to determine the agreement between endoscopic diagnosis & histological identification of the gastritis in the patients suffering from dyspepsia. Methodology: All the patients suffering from dyspepsia who faced UGIE (Upper Gastrointestinal Endoscopy) for the detection of gastritis with the help of endoscopy and existing biopsy report from 2016 to 2018 in the DHQ Teaching Hospital Dera Ghazi Khan and various other hospitals of Dera Ghazi Khan, were the part of this research work. The skilled professional of endoscopy molded a global impact on the availability or otherwise of gastritis in accordance with the System of Sydney. Patients suffering from ulcer, its development and any other identification with the help of endoscopy distant from gastritis were not the part of this research work. We took at least 2 gastric biopsies from the mucosa with inflammation for the proof of gastritis through histology with the utilization of the biopsy forceps. Results: There were total one hundred and twelve patients in which forty-four were males and sixty-eight were females, as part of this research work with an average age of 41.950 years. The very frequent symptom faced by the most of the patients was epigastric discomfort present in 92.0% (n: 103) patients. In all the patients, the diagnosis with endoscopy was gastritis. The reports of biopsy displayed chronic gastritis in 97.30% (n: 109) patients. Conclusion: The results of this research work conclude that there is excellent concordance of outcome of gastritis through endoscopy with every patient of gastritis.
