In a search for a way to discriminate between patients who develop ulcer recurrence after surgery for chronic duodenal ulcer and those who do not, we evaluated, by a stepwise discriminant analysis, the clinical, ulcer, and acid secretory features of 74 patients who had either proximal gastric vagotomy or truncal vagotomy with drainage. Using the derived discriminant function, we separated patients who had ulcer recurrence from those who did not with a sensitivity of 71.4% (10 of 14 patients), a positive predictive value of 76.9% (10 of 13 patients), and a diagnostic efficiency of 90.5% (67 of 74 patients). Acid-related factors were found to be the most important, accounting for ~60% of the total variance in the discriminant function, with clinical and ulcer features contributing ~30% and 10%, respectively. The discriminant function was applied prospectively to 25 additional patients. The preliminary results suggest that discriminant analysis may be more accurate than univariate analysis in estimating the probability of ulcer recurrence. In a duodenal ulcer patient who requires surgery, discriminant analysis can potentially be used to select the most appropriate operative procedure.
