Functional dyspepsia is more common than organic dyspepsia, particularly in females. Elderly patients present more frequently with dyspeptic complaints, with investigations and prescriptions aligning with standard practices.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • General Practice
  • Epidemiology

Context:

  • Dyspeptic complaints are a common reason for primary care consultations.
  • Understanding the characteristics and management of dyspepsia in General Practice is crucial for effective patient care.
  • This study analyzes clinical log-books from 1994 at the Fernão de Magalhães Health Center.

Purpose:

  • To analyze the distribution of dyspeptic categories in a General Practice setting.
  • To investigate associations between dyspepsia groups, patient variables, and identified risk factors.
  • To examine clinical investigation patterns and prescription habits in relation to age.

Summary:

  • Functional dyspepsia was found to be more prevalent than organic dyspepsia.
  • A statistically significant higher frequency of functional dyspepsia was observed in females.

  • Elderly patients accounted for a larger proportion of dyspeptic complaints; approximately 50% of patients were investigated, with two-thirds being over 45 years old. Prescribed medications were consistent with recommendations.

    • Impact:

    • Provides insights into the epidemiology of dyspepsia in primary care.
    • Highlights demographic differences in dyspepsia presentation and diagnosis.
    • Informs clinical practice regarding the investigation and management of dyspeptic patients in General Practice.
