Of 1000 patients referred primarily for gastroscopy, almost 18% had endoscopic signs of clinically important oesophageal disease. Erosive oesophagitis, a disease that is notoriously difficult to diagnose on X-ray, was demonstrated in alsmot 10% and oesophageal varices in 3.6% of the patients. It is concluded that a thorough examination of the oesophagus should be included in every routine upper gastrointestinal endoscopy.
在主要因胃镜检查前来就诊的1000名患者中，近18%有具有临床意义的食管疾病的内镜检查迹象。糜烂性食管炎在近10%的患者中得到证实，这种疾病在X射线下 notoriously difficult to diagnose（此处英文有误，应为“ notoriously difficult to diagnose”，意为“极难诊断”），食管静脉曲张在3.6%的患者中存在。得出的结论是，每次常规上消化道内镜检查都应包括对食管的全面检查。
