    Recurrent gastric and duodenal ulcers are common, affecting 35% and 50% of patients, respectively, within a few years. Many ulcer recurrences are asymptomatic, and smoking does not influence recurrence rates.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Clinical Medicine
    • Digestive Health

    Background:

    • Peptic ulcer disease, including gastric and duodenal ulcers, remains a significant clinical challenge.
    • Understanding long-term recurrence rates is crucial for effective patient management and treatment strategies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the long-term recurrence rates of gastric and duodenal ulcers after initial healing.
    • To determine the proportion of asymptomatic recurrences and the impact of smoking on recurrence.

    Main Methods:

    • A cohort of 110 patients from a previous ulcer healing study was recalled for clinical assessment and endoscopy.
    • Follow-up periods averaged 21.2 months for gastric ulcer patients and 35.6 months for duodenal ulcer patients.

    Main Results:

    • Recurrent gastric ulceration was observed in 35% of eligible patients (16 out of 46).
    • Recurrent duodenal ulceration was found in 50% of eligible patients (25 out of 50).
    • Approximately one-third of both gastric and duodenal ulcer recurrences were asymptomatic; smoking did not affect recurrence rates.

    Conclusions:

    • Long-term recurrence rates for both gastric and duodenal ulcers are substantial.
    • A significant proportion of ulcer recurrences are asymptomatic, highlighting the need for regular endoscopic surveillance.
    • Smoking cessation does not appear to be a significant factor in preventing ulcer recurrence in this cohort.
