OBJECTIVES: To compare the features of patients with peptic ulcer between Han and Uyghur ethnicity from 2013 to 2018 in Xinjiang and to provide the evidence of prevention and treatment for the different ethnicity. METHODS: Data of 3 586 patients with peptic ulcer (3 293 Han and 293 Uyghur) in the Karamay Central Hospital of Xinjiang, including the detection rate of peptic ulcer, () detection rate of population, season, gender, lesion location and complication, were collected from January 2013 to December 2018 and compared between 2 nationalities. RESULTS: There were significant difference in the detection rate of peptic ulcer and population's between Han and Uyghur (<0.01). The detection rates for peptic ulcer of Han were sustainable declined from 15.20% to 10.23%, while Uyghur's detective rates for peptic ulcer were raised again from 17.49% to 8.38%. The detection rate of Uyghur's population was higher than that of Han (<0.01). There were significant difference in the season's detection rate for peptic ulcer between Han and Uyghur (<0.01). The detection rate for peptic ulcer of Han was the highest in the winter, while that of Uyghur was the highest in the spring. The detective rate of Uyghur's peptic ulcer was significant higher than that of Han in the spring (<0.01). The detection rates for peptic ulcer of 2 nationality were the highest at ≤25 age groups, the detection rate for Uyghur's peptic ulcer was higher than that of Han at ≤35 age groups (<0.05). There were more men than women in peptic ulcer in the 2 nationalities. The approximate proportion was 2꞉1. The rates of multiple gastric ulcer and compound duodenal ulcer of Han were more than those of Uyghur (<0.05), but the rate for pyloric obstruction of Uyghur patient was higher than that of Han (<0.05). CONCLUSIONS There are statistical difference in detection rate of PU, detection rate of population, morbidity season, age, complication and the rate of complex ulcer between Han and Uyghur, However, there aren't statistical difference in detection rate of peptic ulcer patient, the gender, lesion location between the 2 nationalities during last 6 years.
