Objective:To explore the value of gold immunochromatography assay(GICA) and chemical method in the detection of oc-cult blood in gastric juice. Methods:Totally 311 patients were taken as test samples. Chemical method and GICA were used to detect the gastric juice and vomits. Results:The positive predictive rates of GICA and chemical method were 64.73% and 100%;the negative predicative rates of GICA and chemical method were 79.74% and 70%;diagnostic accordance rates of GICA and chemical method were 53.09% and 65.59%.The combined diagnosis coinci-dence rate can reach 95.38%. The specificity and coincidence of GICA was better than those of chemical method with statis-tically significant differences(P<0.05). Conclusion:GICA is su-perior to chemical method in negative predictive value and diagnostic accordance. The combination of both methods can improve the accuracy of the diagnostic therapy
