The prevalence of Helicobacter pylori in the Hispanic population affected by hyperemesis gravidarum

Helicobacter Pylori Stool Antigen Assay in Hyperemesis Gravidarum: A Risk Factor for Hyperemesis Gravidarum or Not?

“…The authors of three studies were not able to demonstrate any meaningful difference in H.pylori infection rates between HG patients and controls [20][21][22]. Results obtained in our study are in accordance with their conclusions: There is no association between HG and H. pylori infection.…”

“…Apart from the six prospective case-control studies dealing with H. pylori infection status in HG patients mentioned earlier [7][8][9][10][11][12][13], additional six were identified in the literature [18][19][20][21][22]. Only one study used histological examination of gastric mucosal biopsy in the diagnosis of H. pylori infection.…”

Helicobacter pylori infection and Hyperemesis gravidarum. An institution-based case–control study

“…In 1998, Frigo et al [8] first linked HG to H. pylori reporting a significant difference in H. pylori in patients with HG versus pregnant women without HG, and so did other authors the following years [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]18]. In 2003, Jacobson et al [22] first reported no association between H. pylori and HG, followed by others [17,[23][24][25][26]. One study using histological examination of mucosal biopsy, considered to be the gold standard diagnostic tool for testing H. pylori infection, reported that 95% of all HG patients tested positive for H. pylori compared with 50% in the control group [13].…”

“…The last decade, H. pylori has been a candidate etiologic factor for HG [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26]. Many of the previous studies have been limited to relatively small sample size reporting only crude effect estimates.…”

Pregnancy-Associated Liver Disorders

“…Helicobacter pylori was suspected to play a role, but the results of the studies are contradictory and additional investigation is needed [16,[45][46][47][48].…”
