RESUMO
Objective:To investigate the incidence of Helicobacter pylori ( Hp) infection in diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. Methods:A total of 500 people who received physical examination in Wuzhou Red Cross Hospital from June 2021 to May 2022 were randomly selected for this study. Hp detection was performed in all people included in this study. The Hp infection rate in patients with diabetes and cardiovascular disease were analyzed. Results:The Hp infection rate in healthy people, patients with diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease, or diabetes mellitus complicated by cardiovascular disease was 29.3%, 70.3%, 58.5%, and 90.2%, respectively, with a statistically significant difference ( χ2 = 106.45, P < 0.001). The Hp infection rate of patients with diabetes complicated by one, two, three or more cardiovascular diseases was 83.9%, 94.6%, and 100.0%, respectively, with a statistically significant difference ( χ2 = 8.82, P < 0.001). Conclusion:The Hp infections rate in patients with diabetes complicated by cardiovascular disease was higher than that in patients with diabetes mellitus or cardiovascular disease, in particular in patients with diabetes mellitus complicated by several cardiovascular diseases.
