A prospective study to determine the incidence of hiatus hernia and gastro-oesophageal reflux in 1030 consecutive symptomatic adult Nigerian patients undergoing barium meal examination is reported. The results show a very low incidence of hiatus hernia (0-39%) and an equally low incidence of gastro-oesophageal reflux (2-2%) when compared with similar studies in Europe and America. There was a high incidence of duodenal ulcer (23-3%) and a low incidence of gastric ulcer (1-8%), the duodenal/gastric ulcer ratio of 12-1:1 being much higher than in Europe.
本文报告了一项前瞻性研究,该研究旨在确定1030例连续接受钡餐检查的有症状成年尼日利亚患者的食管裂孔疝和胃食管反流的发病率。结果显示,与欧美类似研究相比,食管裂孔疝的发病率极低(0.39%),胃食管反流的发病率同样很低(2.2%)。十二指肠溃疡的发病率较高(23.3%),胃溃疡的发病率较低(1.8%),十二指肠溃疡与胃溃疡的比例为12.1:1,远高于欧洲。
