Abstract
When 102 patients with dyspepsia who had normal findings on barium-meal examination in 1964 were interviewed in 1970, 85 of them (76%) were symptomatically improved, and only three were later shown to have a peptic ulcer. This suggests that “x-ray-negative dyspepsia” has a good prognosis in a general practice setting.
