Abstract
AIM: To study the impact of Helicobacter pylori (H.pylori) infection and other risk factors on the development of gastric ulcer (GU) and duodenal ulcer (DU).
METHODS: A total of 204 patients who were treated at our hospital from 2003 to 2008 were included. The association of H.pylori infection status (14C-UBT), endoscopic findings, personal habits (smoking, alcohol intake), and medication (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), aspirin intake) with the development of GU and DU was investigated using multi-way frequency analysis.
RESULTS: GU in the presence of H.pylori had significant association with aspirin (P = 0.0010), alcohol (P = 0.0091) and NSAIDs (P = 0.0321). DU in the presence of H.pylori had significant association with aspirin/smoking/NSAIDs (P = 0.0256), aspirin/alcohol (P = 0.0020) and aspirin/smoking (P = 0.0221). In the absence of H.pylori, GU had significant association with alcohol/NSAIDs (P = 0.0435) and NSAIDs (P = 0.0431), while DU had significant association with smoking/alcohol/NSAIDs (P = 0.0014), aspirin/NSAIDs (P = 0.0331), and aspirin/alcohol (P = 0.0032).
CONCLUSION: In the presence of H.pylori, intake of aspirin, alcohol or NSAIDs acts as independent risk factors for the occurrence of GU but affects the occurrence of DU only when combined together.
