title: Management of NSAIDs-related dyspepsia in the community.
abstract: Little is known about how non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)-related dyspepsia is managed in general practice. A survey was conducted to ascertain the preferred methods of investigation and management of NSAIDs-related dyspepsia by GPs in the Leeds district in the summer of 1992. A total of 261/300 (87%) replied to the questionnaire. Most (87%) GPs discontinued NSAIDs, and 12% changed the drug. Only 42 (16%) suggested endoscopy.
