    Background. No guideline on repeat esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) in functional dyspepsia (FD) exists. This study aimed\nto define yield, findings, and predictors of positive findings on repeat EGD in FD. Methods. FD patients who underwent at least 2\nEGDs during October 2005 to November 2011 were enrolled and reviewed. Yield and findings were analyzed and univariate and\nmultivariate analyses were performed to identify predictors of positive repeat EGD. Results. The median time to repeat EGD was\n34 months. Among 146 patients, 115 patients (79%) had negative and 31 (21%) had positive repeat EGD, including erosive gastritis\n(13.0%), peptic ulcer (7.5%), reflux esophagitis (1.4%), and Barrettââ?¬â?¢s esophagus (0.7%). Four independent predictors of positive\nrepeat EGD were smoking (HR 3.88, 95% CI 1.31ââ?¬â??11.51,
