Infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis and subsequent ulcer dyspepsia. A follow-up study of medically and surgically treated patients.
Infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis was treated in 324 cases in 1950-1966. At follow-up 19-35 years later, 296 of the patients could be traced, and 284 replied to a questionnaire concerning ulcer dyspepsia. Among the 80 patients who had been medically treated for pyloric stenosis, the prevalence of ulcer dyspepsia was 13.8%, and in the 204 surgically treated patients it was 9.3%. The difference was not statistically significant.
