A Quantitative Analysis of Symptoms of Non-Ulcer Dyspepsia as Related to Age, Pathology, andHelicobacterInfection

Abstract

Age was the most important determinant of dyspeptic symptoms, but not pathology or Helicobacter.

Helicobacter pylori and Different Topographic Types of Gastritis

“…Previously, antrum-predominant gastritis has been strongly linked to peptic ulcer disease (8,9), and in some reports ulcer-like symptoms have been linked to H. pyloripositive functional dyspepsia (13)(14)(15). The nding in our study concerning the best long-term treatment response after successful H. pylori eradication in patients with antrum-predominant gastritis has similarities to peptic ulcer disease.…”

“…pylori infection is a lifelong disease with different topographic subtypes of chronic gastritis. In addition, the 'ulcer-like' symptom subgroup has been associated with H. pylori-positive functional dyspepsia by some investigators (13)(14)(15). Our hypothesis was that these subtypes of chronic gastritis also have a role in the H. pylori eradication response of functional dyspepsia.…”

“…This in ammation is usually a lifelong, stabile or slowly progressive disease which may cause divergent effects on acid secretion depending on the 'stage' or the type of gastritis (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7). The role of H. pylori gastritis on dyspeptic symptoms, without ulcer disease, remains unclear (11)(12)(13)(14)(15), and even large prospective treatment studies have reached inconclusive results (16)(17)(18)(19). The role of H. pylori gastritis on dyspeptic symptoms, without ulcer disease, remains unclear (11)(12)(13)(14)(15), and even large prospective treatment studies have reached inconclusive results (16)(17)(18)(19).…”

Dyspepsia and Helicobacter Pylori Infection: Analysis of 200 Kuwaiti Patients Referred for Endoscopy

“…These observations are consistent with those reported previously for other ethnic populations. [17][18][19] Moreover, the severity of symptoms had little correlation with the HP status of patients. Other investigators have reported similar findings.…”

A Fuzzy Inference System for Assessment of the Severity of the Peptic Ulcers

“…It studied the unconfounded effects of age, pathology, and Helicobacter. It was concluded that age was the most important determinant of dyspeptic symptoms, but not pathology or Helicobacter [7]. Computer-aided capsule endoscopy images evaluation based on color.…”
