What is A Retrospective Experience of Helicobacter pylori Histology in a Large Sample of Subjects in Northern Italy about?
Updated data about the prevalence of __Helicobacter pylori__ (__H. pylori__) and its correlation with histological results are scarce. The aim of our study was to provide current data on the impact of __H. pylori__ in a third-level endoscopy service. We performed a large, retrospective study analyzing the results of all histological samples of gastroscopy from the year 2019. In total, 1512 subjects were included. The prevalence of __H. pylori__ was 16.8%. A significant difference between the prevalence in subjects born in Italy and those from eastern Europe, south America, or Africa was found (__p__ < 0.0001, __p__ = 0.006, and __p__ = 0.0006, respectively). An association was found between __H. pylori__ and active superficial gastritis (__p__ < 0.0001). Current __H. pylori__ and/or a previous finding of __H. pylori__ was related to antral atrophy (__p__ < 0.0001). Fifteen patients had low-grade dysplasia. There were no statistically significant associations with current or past __H. pylori__ infection. One patient presented gastric cardia adenocarcinoma with regular gastric mucosa. One patient, __H. pylori__ positive, was diagnosed with gastric signet ring cell adenocarcinoma in a
