Cross-sectional study reveals dyspepsia's endoscopic findings and Helicobacter pylori prevalence in patients, highlighting important associations.
Key Points
H. pylori infection occurs in 16.8% of dyspeptic patients, indicating a notable prevalence in the population studied.
Gastritis is the most frequent endoscopic finding, occurring in 93.0% of the patients examined during endoscopy.
Chi-square tests revealed significant correlations between H. pylori infection and active chronic gastritis, atrophy, and inactive chronic gastritis.
Limited associations between H. pylori and various endoscopic findings suggest the need for thorough histopathological evaluations in dyspeptic patients.
