Abstract :

 

Aim. Frequency of Helicobacter Pylori (HP) colonization in patients admitted to our hospital and to whom gastroscopy was performed electively.

Materials and method. 1400 patients who were admitted to Sarıkamış State Hospital between 2012–2016 and to whom gastroscopy was performed electively were analysed retrospectively. HP frequency was researched.

Findings. Of 1400 patients 798 were women (57%) and 994 (71.1%) were HP positive. Mean years of age was 36,9 (min 14, max 82).In endoscopic studies 697 patients (43,4%) had antral gastritis while 330 had erythematous pangastritis (23,6%) and 359 had bulbitis with gastric inflammation (25,7%); in 44 patients findings were grouped as other (inflammation in regions other than antrum, esophagitis, polypoid lesion). In 56 patients endoscopic findings were reported to be normal (4%). In 36 patients gastric ulcer (2,6%), in 235 patients duodenum ulcer (17,8%) and in 88 patients Barrett metaplasia (6,3%) was reported.

Results. HP frequency between patients in NorthEast region of Turkey is determined to be 71.1%. There is a strong association between gastric ulser and HP.
