UNASSIGNED: Background. The value of endoscopy in dyspeptic @entity1 is questionable. Aims. To examine the prevalence of @entity51 ( @entity51 ) and the utility of alarm features and age in predicting @entity51 in outpatients with @entity2210 . Methods. A retrospective analysis of outpatient adults who had endoscopy for @entity2210 . Demographic variables, alarm features, and endoscopic findings were recorded. We defined @entity51 as @entity10189 , @entity2910 , @entity5 , stricture, or findings requiring specific therapy. Results. Of 650 @entity1 included in the analysis, 51% had a normal endoscopy. The most common endoscopic abnormality was nonerosive @entity3621 (29.7%) followed by nonerosive @entity9317 (7.2%) and LA-class A @entity2910 (5.4%). Only 10.2% had a @entity28626 . Five @entity1 (0.8%) had @entity5 . @entity51 were more likely present in @entity1 with alarm features (12.6% versus 5.4%, p = 0.004). Age >=  55 and presence of any alarm feature were associated with @entity51 (aOR 1.8 and 2.3, resp.). Conclusion. Dyspeptic @entity1 have low prevalence of @entity28626 . The presence of any alarm feature and age >=  55 are associated with higher risk of @entity28626 . Endoscopy in young @entity1 with no alarm features has a low yield; these @entity1 can be considered for nonendoscopic approach for diagnosis and management.
