Sažetak
In the period from January the 1st 1987, till December the 31st 1989, it was done 10209 endoscopy examinations on the Internal Clinic of General Hospital Osijek. In 27,9% of the patients erosions and in 48,9% of the patients peptic ulcer has been found. Erosive lesions were localized mainly in duodenum (38%) and in 18% of the cases erosive lesions were localized both in duodenum and in antrum. In 24,9% of the cases duodenal erosions coexist with ulcerative peptic disease (duodenal 37%, gasrtic 3%). The appearance of ulcer and/or erosive duodenal disease was mainly in autumn (40%) and less often in summer (16%). From an epidemiological study on 360 cases, which were divided into 3 groups: cases with autonomus duodenal erosive disease, those with erosions and ulcer and those with autonomous duodenal ulcer, we can see that in duodenal erosive disease predisposing factors are irregular, poor nutrition and excessive use of flavours, while fast eating and/or insufficiently chewing of the food are predisposing factors for ulcerative disease. Besides, there is a slight association between free-lance activity and ulcerative disease and between erosive disease and temporary or permanent interruption of work. The psycho-emotional component in family and work situations does have a determining effect on the erosive and ulcerative associated pathology. It is interesting to notice the relationship between erosive disease and abuse of alcohol (125 g/day or more) and between duodenal ulcerative disease and abuse of nicotine (25 cigarettes/day or more) and coffee (5 cups/day or more). Besides, it is notice the relationship between mucosa- damaging drugs and autonomous erosive disease.
