“…We retrospectively analyzed the data of 14 C-urea breath test (UBT) performed at the Department of Gastroenterology of our hospital from January 2017 to July 2020. Exclusion criteria were as follows: 1) disintegrations per minute (DPM) values for 14 C-UBT tests were lacking; 2) medical records were lacking; 3) subjects had a definite history of H. pylori eradication; and 4) repeated 14 C-UBT tests were performed in the same subject. We primarily collected the information regarding demographics (ie, age and gender), subjects' identity (ie, military or civilian) and history of H. pylori eradication.…”

“…During the study period, there were a total of 31,800 14 C-UBT records. Among them, 8304 records were excluded, because 52 subjects were lacking the DPM values for 14 C-UBT; 4992 subjects were lacking medical records; 2307 subjects had a definite history of H. pylori eradication; and 953 subjects had repeated 14 C-UBT tests.…”

“…Five hundred and forty-seven inpatients, including 83 military inpatients and 464 civilian inpatients, underwent both 14 C-UBT and upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. The median age of the military group was 48.00 years (range: 19.00-92.00); and 96.40% (80/83) were male.…”

“…Physical and mental health is of particular importance for such a unique population. However, they often suffer from chronic mental and physical health conditions, 13,14 because they have to experience highpressure military and survival training in extremely harsh environments. This will reduce humoral and cellular immune responses and may aggravate the severity of H. pylori infection.…”

Helicobacter pylori infection is an important cause of peptic ulcer disease and gastric cancer. Current knowledge regarding epidemiology of H. pylori infection in military personnel has insufficiently been updated. This cross-sectional study aimed to estimate the prevalence of H. pylori infection in military personnel and to compare the prevalences in military and civilian groups. Patients and Methods: We retrospectively enrolled the subjects who underwent 14 C-urea breath tests at the Department of Gastroenterology of the General Hospital of Northern Theater Command between January 2017 and July 2020. Subjects were divided into military and civilian groups. H. pylori infection and major endoscopic findings were reviewed. Results: Overall, 23,496 subjects were eligible, including 2282 subjects in the military group and 21,214 subjects in the civilian group. In the overall analysis, the prevalence of H. pylori infection was not significantly different between military and civilian groups (33.9% versus 34.4%, P=0.592). In the population aged 17-25 years, the prevalence of H. pylori infection was significantly higher in the military group than in the civilian group (35.6% versus 25.9%, P=0.001). Both 14 C-UBT and endoscopy were performed in 547 inpatients, including 83 military inpatients and 464 civilian inpatients. There was a significantly higher prevalence of H. pylori in inpatients with peptic ulcer and/or gastric cancer than in those without (65.5% versus 41.4%, P=0.001). Conclusion: Among the adolescent population, H. pylori infection may be more common in military personnel as compared to the civilians. Well-designed prospective studies should be required to validate such a high prevalence and to explain its potential causes.
