Twenty year review of duodenal ulcer.
Of 31 patients (18 male and 13 female) followed up 13-29 years after diagnosis, recurrent or persistent duodenal ulcer had occurred in four. In 22 (71%) gastrointestinal symptoms persisted into adult life, although only abdominal pain was significantly more frequent than in 126 controls.
