AIM: To study the practical value of EGG in clinic diagnosis and therapy.
METHODS: In this study electrogastrogram (EGG) results of 3178 cases were reported.
RESULTS: There were totally 86 percent of positive rate. The coincidence rate of EGG, X-ray barium meal examination and fibergastroscopy was more than 85 percent in gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer. The detectable rate of EGG was distinctly higher than that of X-ray barium meal examination in chronic superficial gastritis, and coincident with fibergastroscopy basically.
CONCLUSION: It was believed that EGG might be crucial examination in the diagnosis of gastric dysrhythmia syndrome. We believed that EGG was one of the important methods in the diagnosis and therapeutic evaluation of gastric and duodenal diseases following the development of medicine and electric technology.
