Comparative observation about different methods of detecting helicobacter pylori infection / 中国基层医药

ABSTRACT

Objective To discuss the clinical value of different methods in detecting helicobacter pylori (HP) infection.Methods 268 patients with digestive diseases were randomly selected by the method of generating random number through the computer,and detected by bacterial culture,rapid urease test (RUT) intrusion and silver staining,etc,invasive detection method,and using 13C-breath test(13C-UBT) and Helicobacter Pylon stool antigen detection,etc,non-invasive detection method,respectively.The positive detection rate and sensitivity,specificity,accuracy,positive predictive value and negative predictive value the difference was evaluated among the different methods.Results By comparing these methods of detecting HP infection,the specificity and accuracy of heavy silver staining method were 100.00％ and 97.01％,which were significantly higher than that of RUT and 13C-UBT(x2 =6.36,7.01,5.21,5.14,all P ＜ 0.05),Heavy silver staining method to detect positive predictive value was 100.00％,which were significantly higher than the 13C-UBT,negative predictive value was 89.19％,which were significantly higher than that of RUT method (x2 =6.04,6.34,all P ＜ 0.05),HP stool antigen test sensitivity,specificity,accuracy,positive predictive value were above 90.00％.Conclusion Sensitivity,specificity,accuracy rate,positive predictive value and negative predictive value of Heavy silver staining method and HP stool antigen test are high on detecting HP infection.
