Five doctors in general practice sent identical questionnaires to all those of their listed patients who in the previous year had received one or more prescriptions for an ulcer medication in the groups H2 receptor antagonists, acid pump inhibitors, bismuth and sucralfate preparations. The patients were identified by the pharmacy. Two hundred and fifty-nine questionnaires were returned, and the response rate was 83%. Four point nine percent of an adult population of 7160 received in the year 1993 at least one prescription for ulcer medicine, and 0.87% were in constant treatment. On average the doctors met 49 dyspeptic patients per 1000 adults per year. This is far more than found by gastroenterologists in studies of different ways of handling the dyspeptic patient in general practice.
五位全科医生向其在册患者中所有在上一年接受过一种或多种溃疡药物处方的患者发送了相同的问卷，这些溃疡药物包括H2受体拮抗剂、质子泵抑制剂、铋剂和硫糖铝制剂。患者由药房识别。共收回259份问卷，回复率为83%。在1993年，7160名成年人中有4.9%至少接受过一次溃疡药物处方，0.87%的人在持续治疗。平均而言，医生每年每1000名成年人中会遇到49名消化不良患者。这远远高于胃肠病学家在研究全科医疗中处理消化不良患者的不同方式时所发现的比例。
