This study aims to analyse the correlation between the endoscopic findings and the symptoms of gastritis. Upper gastro-intestinal (UGI) endoscopy is a widely used investigation for a variety of UGI symptoms namely dysphagia, dyspepsia, abdominal pain, etc., and when combined with biopsy, its diagnostic accuracy get increased manifold.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Materials and Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This is a study with 70 patients with symptoms of gastritis underwent UGI endoscopy and biopsy included in study. Biopsy was taken from gastric\/duodenal mucosa and was sent for histopathology examination. Data of patient\u2019s age, gender, food habits, oral hygiene, etc., were then taken into consideration and findings of UGI endoscopy were correlated with these data and also correlated with histopathological report.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Gastritis significantly affects the lifestyle of the majority of our participants as out of 70, 65 (95%) had gastritis in our study.\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Helicobacter pylori<\/jats:italic>\n                      was present among 41.5 % of study participants.

The mean age of participants were 46.76\u2009\u00b1\u200916.25 years.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Histopathology plays a major role in diagnosing\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">H. pylori<\/jats:italic>\n                      infection. So, histological examination as an adjunct to UGI endoscopy should be considered as best diagnostic tool rather than UGI endoscopy alone or clinical examination or radiological examination alone. It helps to treat the gastritis patients by diagnosing the underlying cause and management accordingly.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/jwas.jwas_96_23","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,20]],"date-time":"2024-07-20T03:00:13Z","timestamp":1721444413000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["The Study of Correlation between Symptoms of Gastritis and Endoscopic Biopsy"],"prefix":"10.4103","author":[{"given":"Shravan R.","family":"Dave","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Surgery, Pramukh Swami Medical College and Shree Krishna Hospital, Karamsad, Gujarat, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jayeshkumar B.","family":"Bagada","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Surgery, Pramukh Swami Medical College and Shree Krishna Hospital, Karamsad, Gujarat, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jitesh H.","family":"Desai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Surgery, Pramukh Swami Medical College and Shree Krishna Hospital, Karamsad, Gujarat, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shivangi","family":"Jha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Surgery, Pramukh Swami Medical College and Shree Krishna Hospital, Karamsad, Gujarat, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"CIT0002-20240907","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"21","DOI":"10.1186\/1471-230X-14-21","article-title":"Chronic gastritis in China: A national multi-center survey","volume":"14","author":"Du","year":"2014","journal-title":"BMC Gastroenterol"},{"key":"CIT0003-20240907","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"167","DOI":"10.1097\/00000478-200002000-00001","article-title":"Gastric dysplasia: The Padova international classification","volume":"24","author":"Rugge","year":"2000","journal-title":"Am J Surg Pathol"},{"key":"CIT0004-20240907","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"520","DOI":"10.1007\/s11606-013-2630-y","article-title":"Helicobacter pylori: Evidence-based review with a focus on immigrant populations","volume":"29","author":"Siao","year":"2014","journal-title":"J Gen Intern Med"},{"key":"CIT0005-20240907","first-page":"280","article-title":"Helicobacter pylori in Iran: A systematic review on the association of genotypes and gastroduodenal diseases","volume":"17","author":"Hosseini","year":"2012","journal-title":"J Res Med Sci"},{"key":"CIT0006-20240907","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"12S","DOI":"10.1016\/S0002-9343(96)80224-5","article-title":"Transmission and epidemiology of Helicobacter pylori","volume":"100","author":"Cave","year":"1996","journal-title":"Am J Med"},{"key":"CIT0007-20240907","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"619","DOI":"10.1016\/S0016-5085(00)70269-1","article-title":"Patterns of endoscopy use in the United States","volume":"118","author":"Lieberman","year":"2000","journal-title":"Gastroenterology"},{"key":"CIT0008-20240907","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"471","DOI":"10.5144\/0256-4947.1997.471","article-title":"Upper gastrointestinal diseases in symptomatic Jordanians: A prospective endoscopic study","volume":"17","author":"Shennak","year":"1997","journal-title":"Ann Saudi Med"},{"key":"CIT0009-20240907","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"657","DOI":"10.3109\/00365521.2015.1019918","article-title":"Chronic gastritis","volume":"50","author":"Sipponen","year":"2015","journal-title":"Scand J Gastroenterol"},{"key":"CIT0010-20240907","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"209","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1440-1746.1991.tb01468.x","article-title":"The Sydney system: Histological division","volume":"6","author":"Price","year":"1991","journal-title":"J Gastroenterol Hepatol"},{"key":"CIT0011-20240907","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1161","DOI":"10.1097\/00000478-199610000-00001","article-title":"Classification and grading of gastritis.
