Abstract: Objective To investigate the correlation between hepatitis B virus related liver cirrhosis combined
with peptic ulcer and Helicobacter Pylori (HP) infection. Methods Total of 180 patients with hepatitis B
virus related liver cirrhosis from January 2014 to January 2016 in Yantian People’s Hospital were selected as
the observation group, 130 patients with simple peptic ulcer were selected as control group 1, and 600 cases
of healthy physical examination were selected as control group 2. The infection rates of HP among all groups,
among patients with different liver function classification in observation group and between patients combined
with digestibility ulcer in observation group and control group 1 were compared, respectively. Results The
HP infection rates of patients in observation group and control group 2 were 44.4% (80/180) and 49.3%
(296/600), which were lower than those of the control group 1, respectively. The difference was statistically
significant (χ 2 = 29.200, 34.638; P < 0.001). HP infection rates of patients with Child-Pugh A, B and C grade
in observation group were 37.2% (29/78), 45.0% (27/60) and 57.1% (24/42), respectively. The differences had
no statistical significance (χ 2 = 0.762, P = 0.284). In observation group, the rate of HP infection in patients
with primary ulcer was 64.5% (40/62), which was lower than that of patients with recurrent ulcer [70.4%
(38/54)], but the difference had no statistical significance (χ 2 = 0.449, P = 0.503). In observation group, the
rate of HP infection in patients with gastric ulcer was 58.7 (27/46) and in patients with duodenal ulcer patients
was 72.9% (52/70), which were lower than those of the patients in control group 1 [ 68.6% (35/51) and 83.5%
(66/79)], respectively. The differences had no statistical significance (χ 2 = 0.336, 0.610; P = 1.415, 0.087).
Conclusions There was no statistical difference between HP infection rate in patients with hepatitis B related
liver cirrhosis and normal people. The infection rate of HP in hepatitis B virus related liver cirrhosis patients
combined with peptic ulcer is lower than that of patients with simple peptic ulcer. HP infection is not the main
factor of hepatitis B virus related liver cirrhosis combined with peptic ulcer.
