Comparison of endoscopic diagnostic yield between untrained physicians [non-gastroenterologists] and trained physicians [gastroenterologists] showed that there was no difference in the proportion of patients having duodenal ulcer and
nonulcer dyspepsia [NUD] (p=0.575).Similarly there was no difference in results of RUT (p=0.570) performed by different types of physicians (Table 2).
In a recent, randomized, placebo-controlled trial in a developed country, eradication therapy proved successful in a subset of patients with
nonulcer dyspepsia (19).

Treating H pylori in patients with

Indications carried forward from the prior edition included peptic ulcer disease,
nonulcer dyspepsia, mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma, atrophic gastritis, a history of gastric cancer resection, first-degree relatives of patients with gastric cancer, and patients who, on consulting with a physician, want to be tested.
