“…This is consistent with results of previous studies conducted in Nigeria and other parts of West Africa which have consistently shown a high prevalence of H. pylori with the use of biopsy based methods [6][7][8][9][10][11].

“…Also, among patients with serious gastroduodenal pathologies (GU, DU and gastric cancer) 58.3% had H. pylori infection. This finding corroborates the results from similar studies conducted in Nigeria and other parts of Africa [6,8,9,15]. Although the association of these lesions with H. pylori infection was not statistically significant, a further study involving a larger number of patients is needed to establish the true association between the infection and the lesions.…”

“…This is comparable to a frequency of 60% obtained in a previous study conducted in the North-Eastern part of Nigeria [9]. An earlier study conducted at the University College Hospital, Ibadan showed a frequency of 13.4% for gastritis while normal mucosal was the commonest finding with a frequency of 53% [14].…”

Background. Peptic ulcer disease (PUD) remains one of the most prevalent gastrointestinal diseases and has been linked to Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection. This condition may be suspected on clinical grounds, but diagnosis is established using upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. Aims. To determine the correlation between the endoscopic and pathological findings among suspected PUD patients who have been referred for diagnostic upper gastrointestinal endoscopy in National Hospital Abuja. Methods. This is a hospital-based prospective study conducted among suspected PUD patients at National Hospital Abuja over a one-year period. Clinical, endoscopic, and histological findings were ascertained and documented. Data obtained were analyzed using SPSS version 21.0. Tests of significance were done using the chi-square test and Student t -test at 95% confidence intervals. Results. One hundred and thirty-two patients were included in the study. The ages ranged from 15 to 87 years, mean age 43.30 ± 11.94 years. Seventy-seven (58.3%) patients had abnormal endoscopic findings, of whom 37 (28.0%) had PUD. Prevalence of H. pylori infection was 42.2% and was found in 81.1% of PUD patients. H. pylori was significantly associated with confirmed PUD ( p < 0.001 ) and abnormal endoscopic findings ( p < 0.001 ). No association was found between normal endoscopic findings and histological findings ( p = 0.924 ). Conclusion. There is a poor correlation between clinical and endoscopic diagnoses of PUD. H. pylori was found to be significantly associated with PUD and abnormal endoscopic findings. Endoscopic facilities should therefore be made available and accessible for proper PUD diagnosis. Empirical treatment of H. pylori in patients with diagnosed PUD is strongly recommended.
