Summary: | Abstract Background Distinguishing the rates of Helicobacter pylori infection in chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients with peptic ulcer disease (PUD) from that in PUD patients without CKD is critical. Methods We first stratified the original 1 million study population according to CKD or ESRD. We retrospectively investigated the incidence of H. pylori infection in PUD patients with or without CKD or ESRD between 2000 and 2008 in a nationwide, population-based cohort using data from the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database. The comparison cohort consisted of PUD patients without CKD. A logistic regression model was used to calculate the odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals, to determine whether the occurrence of H. pylori infection in CKD or ESRD patients with PUD differed from that of PUD patients without CKD. Results Among the CKD patients, 261 patients had H. pylori -positive and 185 H. pylori -negative peptic ulcers. Among the ESRD patients, 81 had H. pylori -positive and 63 H. pylori -negative peptic ulcers. Among the non-CKD control patients, 1658 patients had H. pylori -positive and 702 H. pylori -negative peptic ulcers. Our results revealed a lower H. pylori infection rate in CKD (OR = 0.64, p |
