    Aims To show the trends in the prevalence of peptic ulcer disease in uninvestigated dyspeptic patients in 2005. and 2015. year in Serbia

    Methods Data from 1888 consecutive patients with dyspeptic symptoms referred for upper endoscopy during 2005. and 2186 patients from 2015.year were analysed in relation to peptic ulcer disease

    Results Among 1888 patients included in 2005. average years of peptic ulcer disease expression increased from 55.95 years in 2005. to 59.89 years in 2015. Male individuals had peptic ulcer disease with 57.29 years in 2005 vs 62.02 years in 2015. Female patients had similar trend with 53.89 in 2005. to 57.23 one decade later, taking both sexes into account 53.55 уears vs. 58.49 in 2015. There was a reduced trend from 2005 to 2015 in the prevalence of peptic ulcer disease 13.34% vs 6.82% respectively (mainly because of decrease in duodenal ulcers) (Т = 7.1219; р˂0.05). Prevalence of duodenal peptic ulcer disease decreased in last decade (Т = 7.6576; р˂0.05), but prevalence of gastric peptic ulcer disease is not significantly different (Т = 1.4529; р˃0.05).

    Conclusions The prevalence of peptic ulcer disease, mainly duodenal ulcers, was reduced in last decade in both groups with clear trend of disease expression in older population.
