Abstract:
Objective To analyze and summarize the epidemiological characteristics of gastric Helicobacter pylori in pa-tients experiencing gastric discomfort in Yuexiu Dongshan Community,Guangzhou.Methods A total of 312 patients who visited Yuexiu District Dongshan Community Health Service Center for stomach upset testing between April 2023 and July 2023 were en-rolled in the study.The distribution characteristics of positive Helicobacter pylori were analyzed among the patients of different age and gender.Results Out of the 312 cases in the population,93 cases tested positive and 219 tested negative,with a positive de-tection rate of 29.81%.Specifically,28 cases tested positive,and 74 cases tested negative in the male population,with a positive detection rate of 27.45%.In the female population,65 cases tested positive,and 145 cases tested negative,with a positive detec-tion rate of 30.95%.The difference in positive rates by gender was not statistically significant(X2 =0.402,P=0.526).Among the male patients infected with Helicobacter,the mean value of delta over baseline of the C13 urea breath test(DOB)was(17.31±11.84).The DOB value was insignificantly higher in the males than in the females(t =1.430,P=0.156).There was no signifi-cant increasing or decreasing trend in the distribution of positive rates by age.The composition ratio of positive patients was predom-inant in the group aged 40 and above,accounting for 79.57%of the total number of positive cases.Among the individuals aged less than 60 infected with Helicobacter pylori,the mean duration of the breath test was(14.95±11.87),while among those aged over 61,the mean duration of the breath test was(24.66±22.71).The disparity between the two groups was statistically significant(t =2.643,P=0.009 7).Conclusion Gastric Helicobacter pylori can be detected in individuals of all genders and ages,and it is a primary cause of gastric discomfort.Community-based C13 breath tests can detect the presence of infections of helicobacter py-lori at an early stage.Antibiotics can be administered to treat the infections,thereby reducing the incidence of gastric tumors.
