Life Events and Gastric Acid pH Value of Patients with Acid-Related Diseases / 中国心理卫生杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective: To investigate the correlation between gastric acid pH value of patients with acid-related gastric diseases and the score of their life events. Methods: To evaluate the LES (life event scale) of the 108 patients with acid-related diseases were divided into 3 groups according their cluster of gastric acid pH value, group one pH 1.3 (n=37), group two pH 1.6~1.7(n=32), group three pH 2.1~4.5(n=39). Results: The LES total score and factor scores increased with the gastric acid level, the total score of the three groups were 40.0?20.6, 15.1?9.2, 6.4?6.5 respectively, the differences among the three groups were significant (F=43.26,P
