Abstract
Background: Identification of the causes of gallstone would result in better planning for the prevention of this disease. One of the
proposed risk factors for this problem is Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection.
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine the incidence rate of gallstone in patients with H. pylori gastritis.
Methods: This was an observational study performed as a descriptive-comparative cross-sectional survey. We enrolled 169 consecutive
patients with H. pylori gastritis admitted to Imam-Hossein Hospital, Tehran, Iran, in 2018, and gallstone frequency in them was
determined and compared with other variables.
Results: Overall, 14 (8.3%) patients had gallstone, and all the patients had H. pylori gastritis. There was no significant association
between gallstone and H. pylori gastritis (P = 0.561).
Conclusions: It may be concluded that gallstone frequency in patients with H. pylori gastritis is low, and there is no significant
association between these two conditions.
