Abstract:
This was a descriptive studycarried out from January to December 2021, at Quanzhou First Hospital, an a liated hospital of Fujian Medical University, to investigate the e cacy of the urea breath test in detectingHelicobacter pylori infection in patients with peptic ulcer bleeding a ected with proton pump inhibitorsA. total of 77 patients with peptic ulcer bleeding, who underwent urea breath testing after active bleeding, were divided into two groups. The Helicobacter pylori infection positivity rate in patients with peptic ulcer bleeding was 66.2%. The time from bleeding to detection and from admission to detection was not signi cantly di erent between the Helicobacter pylori-positive and -negative groups (p=0.840 and 0.285, respectively). Even with high-dose proton pump inhibitor treatment, a urea breath test can be performed after peptic ulcer bleeding ceases and results in an acceptable positivity rate. There was no signi cant di erence in the accuracy of Helicobacter pylori detection between the time from bleeding to testing and from admission to testing.
