Abstract：Objective To explore the spectrum of upper digestive tract disease in people receiving health examinations. Methods Gastroscopic results were retrospectively analysed in 2903 people who received health examinations from July 2014 to June 2015 and were compared with 1475 outpatients from the digestive department in a special consultation clinic at the same time. Results The common diseases in the health examination group were chronic gastritis (positive rate 86.50%),reflux oesophagitis (8.20%),gastric polyp (5.24%),duodenitis (3.17%),peptic ulcer (1.89%)and oesophageal hiatal hernia (1.41%). The common diseases in the clinic group were chronic gastritis (positive rate 93.22%),reflux oesophagitis (6.92%),gastric polyp (6.58%), duodenitis (3.46%),oesophageal hiatal hernia (3.32%)and peptic ulcer (3.14%). No oesophageal carcinoma was found in health examination group, and the positive rate of gastric carcinoma was 0.07%. The positive rates of oesophageal and gastric carcinoma were 0.81%(P=0.000) and 0.68%(P=0.001) in the clinic group, respectively. Conclusion The incidence of malignant tumours in the upper gastrointestinal tract in people who received health examinations is low, and the disease is mostly benign. The feasibility of widespread endoscopy screening in health examinations is unfavourable and is only suitable for particular populations.
