Gastric ulcers are most common in Mexico. Recurrence risk factors include NSAID use, older age, and H. pylori infection, highlighting the need for targeted prevention strategies.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Epidemiology

Context:

  • Peptic ulcer (PU) prevalence and recurrence risk factors remain largely uncharacterized in the Mexican population.
  • Understanding these factors is crucial for developing effective public health strategies.

Purpose:

  • To identify clinical features and risk factors associated with peptic ulcer recurrence in a Mexican cohort.
  • To analyze the impact of lifestyle and infection on ulcer healing and relapse.

Summary:

  • A 5-year follow-up study analyzed 351 patients (≥20 years) diagnosed with peptic ulcers (duodenal ulcer [DU] or gastric ulcer [GU]) via clinical and endoscopic criteria.
  • Gastric ulcer (58.1%) was more prevalent than duodenal ulcer (41.9%). Key risk factors for DU included smoking, and for GU, NSAID intake. Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection was present in 39.3% of subjects.

  • Recurrence was significantly associated with advanced age (≥65 years), presence of three or more risk factors (70%), and Hp infection (34%).

    • Impact:

    • Identifies specific risk factors (NSAID use, older age, H. pylori) for gastric ulcer recurrence in Mexico.
    • Provides crucial epidemiological data for targeted prevention and management of peptic ulcers in the region.
    • Highlights the need for further research into H. pylori eradication and lifestyle modification for ulcer patients.
