ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To evaluate the clinical value of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay by the Helicobacter pylori stool antigen (HpSA) test for the detection of H. pylori infection.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>328 patients were measured upper gastrointestinal endoscopic examination which as gold standards and HpSA test in the meantime, comparing accuracy, sensitivity, specificity and other Indicators.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>In the diagnosis of Hp infection, HpSA test had no significant difference comparing with gold standards and had a P value of over 0.5. The sensitivity of HpSA test was 94.6%, while the specificity, veracity, expected positive value, and expected negative value were 96.9%, 96.3%, 89.7% and 98.4%, respectively.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The H. pylori stool antigen test is a simple, non-invasive method for accurate diagnosis of H. pylori infection.</p>
