Helicobacter pylori causes peptic ulcer disease; however, conflicting evidence exists regarding its role in extragastric conditions. We aimed to examine associations of H pylori infection and peptic ulcer disease with stroke.
A cross-sectional study was undertaken using data of 147 936 individuals aged 25-95 years who underwent the urea breath test during 2002-2012, based on the computerized database of the second largest health maintenance organization in Israel. Logistic regression models were fitted to control for potential confounders.
Overall, 1397 (0.9%) patients had stroke and 76 965 (52.0%) had a H pylori positive test. The likelihood of prevalent stroke increased in relation to H pylori infection: adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 1.16 (95% confidence intervals [CI]: 1.04-1.29), gastric ulcer: aOR 1.50 (95% CI: 1.18-1.91), and duodenal ulcer: aOR 1.25 (95% CI: 1.07-1.46).
The results support the premise that stroke may be associated with a history of H pylori infection.
幽门螺杆菌可导致消化性溃疡病;然而,其在胃肠外疾病中的作用存在相互矛盾的证据。我们旨在研究幽门螺杆菌感染和消化性溃疡病与中风之间的关联。
本研究采用了基于以色列第二大健康维护组织的计算机化数据库,在 2002 年至 2012 年间进行尿素呼气试验的 147936 名 25-95 岁个体的横断面研究数据。采用逻辑回归模型控制潜在混杂因素。
总体而言,1397 名(0.9%)患者患有中风,76965 名(52.0%)幽门螺杆菌检测呈阳性。与幽门螺杆菌感染相关,中风的发病可能性增加:调整后的优势比(aOR)为 1.16(95%置信区间[CI]:1.04-1.29),胃溃疡:aOR 为 1.50(95% CI:1.18-1.91),十二指肠溃疡:aOR 为 1.25(95% CI:1.07-1.46)。
研究结果支持这样一种前提,即中风可能与幽门螺杆菌感染史有关。
