“…15 Aswathy et al found an association of H. pylori infection in endoscopy and histological features of GERD where the prevalence of GERD severity increased, found positive H. pylori decreased. 16 Chaurasia et al found that H. pylori infection was associated with a reduction in gastric acidity and a less severe GERD degree. Mohameed S et al found there was no statistically significant correlation between H. pylori infection and oesophagitis reflux.…”

Background: Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a pathological condition as a result of gastric contents reflux into the esophagus. Acid reflux is the major irritant for the esophagus in the development and progression of GERD. A number of theories have developed regarding the correlation of gastric acid secretion and the development of GERD, one of which has attracted attention and controversy is the effect of Helicobacter pylori (H. Pylori) infection on acid secretion. This study aims to look at the correlation of the GERD degree with H Pylori infection. Methods:This was an observational study with a cross-sectional approach in GERD patients who were diagnosed based on endoscopic examination at the Gastro Center of Wahidin Sudirohusodo Hospital and histopathology examination was performed to determine the presence of H. pylori infection from July 2017 to December 2018. Statistical analysis was performed by descriptive and frequency distribution with Chi Square test statistics using SPSS 25Results: There were 151 subjects, 85 male subjects (56.3%) and 66 female subjects (43.7%), 20 subjects (13.2%) of whom had H. pylori infection. In this study the GERD degree was more mild with H. pylori infection than with negative H. pylori infection, but the correlation was not statistically significant. Conclusion:The degree of GERD in H. pylori infection is more mild though there is no significant correlation.
