Abstract
Two thousands eight hundreds and thirty four cases of upper gastro-intestinal endoscopy are discussed in this article, especially as to the main presenting symptoms and the most common lesions seen on endoscopy. The correlation between Barium studies done before endscopic examination and the endoscopic finding reveal that half of the radiological (Normal) and 1/3rd of Abnormal cases were found to have a definite endoscopic lesion. Gastric ulcer had no specific relation to any blood group, while Duodenal ulcer was found to correlate well with Blood group O Rh + ive. About half of those cases who took spicy food and 77% of those who gave a history of smoking showed endoscopic lesions, especially duodenal ulcer.
