Abstract

Objective: To determine the frequency of Helicobacter pylori infection in patients with dyspeptic complaints and to assess the agreement between urease test results and histopathological examination in the diagnosis of infection. Methods: Ob[1]servational, cross-sectional and descriptive study, based on the results of the urease test, histopathological examination and endoscopic report of patients undergoing upper digestive endoscopy (EDA) at a University Hospital in the city of Teresina, Piauí. Results: The sample consisted of 300 patients, mostly women, with a mean age of 53.93 years. The urease test was positive in 34% of the exams and the histopathological test in 55%. The main justification for EDA was epigastric pain. The predominant alteration of the gastric mucosa in the histopathological examination was chronic gastritis, while in the endoscopic report the most common finding was erosive gastritis. The accuracy of the urease test in relation to the histo[1]pathological test was 76.33%, with a moderate level of agreement. On the other hand, the accuracy between UDE and histopathology was 67.7%, not showing agreement (kappa 0.05), according to the classification of the Kappa test by Landis and Koch (1977). Conclusion: The frequency of Helicobacter pylori infection was high. There was moderate agreement between diagnosis by urease and histopathological tests, but not between endoscopic and histopathological findings, with a greater presence of gastritis identified in the histopathological results.
