ABSTRACT

Introduction: In this study, we aimed to compare Carbon-14 Urea Breath Test (C-14 UBT) and endoscopy in diagnosis of Helicobacter pylori (HP) and show the availability of the C-14 UBT in follow-up. Methods: We enrolled 183 patients who were admitted to Dumlupinar University Faculty of Medicine, Kutahya Evliya Celebi Education and Research Hospital between April 2012-February 2015 with dyspeptic complaints and C-14 UBT performed due to the suspicion of HP infection. Patient records were analyzed retrospectively. Results: We enrolled 183 patients with age range 7-71 years. The mean age was 31 ± 15 years and 129 of patients were female (7%), and 54 were male (30%). According to the results of C-14 UBT, HP was negative in 77 of patients (42%), HP was probable in 2 of patients (1%) and HP was positive in 104 patients (57%). There was no significant difference between HP positive and HP negative groups in terms of age and gender. When compared the results of C-14 UBT with upper gastrointestinal system endoscopy, it was found that there was no difference between the two methods for the determination of the HP positivity (p >0.05). Conclusion: C-14 UBT is a reliable, noninvasive and practical test which can be used in the diagnosis of HP.
