To evaluate the significance of gastritis as a cause of upper abdominal complaints consecutive cases with upper abdominal complaints have been subjected to gastroscopy with biopsies of the antral and body mucosa. The results were compared with those obtained from two representative population samples: one Finnish and one Estonian. The progression of gastritis on an individual level was expressed as an age-adjusted score. It appeared that the progression of gastritis in the series did not significantly differ from the controls, confirming our earlier experience that gastritis as such can hardly be used for the explanation of upper abdominal complaints.
为评估胃炎作为上腹部不适病因的重要性，对连续的上腹部不适病例进行了胃镜检查，并取胃窦和胃体黏膜活检。将结果与从两个具有代表性的人群样本（一个芬兰样本和一个爱沙尼亚样本）中获得的结果进行比较。胃炎在个体水平上的进展用年龄调整评分表示。结果显示，该系列中胃炎的进展与对照组无显著差异，这证实了我们之前的经验，即胃炎本身很难用于解释上腹部不适。
