Evaluation of upper gastrointestinal system conventional radiographies in patients over 50 years of age

Abstract

Aim: The gastrointestinal (GI) changes related to aging are common. Some of these changes are physiological. However, pathological changes are also frequent at advanced age. The aim of this study was to evaluate upper GI conventional radiographic imagings in patients over 50 years of age. Materials and Methods: Patients over 50 years of age who were referred to Radioscopy Division of Radiology Department between January 2011 and December 2012, and underwent esophagography, and double contrast upper gastrointestinal series for upper GI symptoms were evaluated retrospectively. Results: Out of 2130 patients who underwent upper GI radiographic imaging, 1126 were over 50 years of age. The ratio of patients in 50-64, 65-79 age ranges, and patients ≥80 years of age were 62%, 32.6%, and 5.4%, respectively. There were; gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) (9.8%), tertiary contractions (9.2%), postoperative changes (8.6%), mucosal irregularity (8.3%), hiatus hernia (6.7%) achalasia (6%), diverticulum (5%), esophageal web (1.8%) and others which were not classified elsewhere (8.7%) among patients with abnormal radiological findings (55.2%). More than one pathology was detected in some patients. Conclusion: The most common abnormal findings were GERD and tertiary contractions among patients over 50 years of age who underwent upper GI conventional radiographic imaging. As age increases, the prevalence of pathological findings also increases.
