Abstract
The value of the symptom pattern in achieving an accurate diagnosis in
dyspeptic disease is still controversial. A number of investigators h
ave used it to distinguish those patients who are at a high risk of se
rious disease (ulcer or cancer) from those who are not. Such findings
have important implications for patient management, both in clinical a
nd economic terms.
