Prevalence of Helicobacter Pylori-Negative, Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug Related Peptic Ulcer Disease in Patients Referred to Afzalipour Hospital

BACKGROUND Although Helicobacter pylori and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are the main causes of peptic ulcers disease (PUD), recently the prevalence of idiopathic peptic ulcer (IPU) is increasing in most parts of the world. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of IPU in Kerman, the center of largest province in south-east Iran. METHODS We included 215 patients wi...

Although initially recognized in the West, this disease is being increasingly recognized in the Asian population. The higher risk of bleeding and ulcer recurrence in this subgroup of patients hig...

Helicobacter pylori and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs: uncomfortable partners in peptic ulcer disease.

Role of Helicobacter pylori infection and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs in peptic-ulcer disease: a meta-analysis.

BACKGROUND The relation between H pylori infection and use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in the pathogenesis of peptic-ulcer disease is controversial. We undertook a meta-analysis to address this issue. METHODS By computer and manually we sought observational studies on the prevalence of peptic-ulcer disease in adult NSAID takers or the prevalence of H pylori infection and...

Peptic ulcer bleeding in the elderly: relative roles of Helicobacter pylori and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.

BACKGROUND Most ulcers are caused, one can deduce, by Helicobacter pylori or by use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Whether both together are worse than one alone is something that is quite unknown. AIM To study both factors in order to see wither they interact together positively. METHOD A case control study of ulcer bleeding in elderly patients chosen without weeding. ...

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and peptic ulcer.

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs have been clearly shown to increase the chances of peptic ulcer and its complications. Risk factors associated with this propensity are as yet poorly and inconsistently defined. Clinicians have long accepted that non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) treatment may cause peptic ulcer and its complications. In assessing the chances it is necessary to d...
