Neither gastric topological distribution nor principle virulence genes of Helicobacter pylori contributes to clinical outcomes

Table 2 Relationship between H pylori status and disease states

Groups	No. of patients	No. of biopsies	No. of H pylori (+)	P
PUD	36	108	16 (44%)	-
GERD	50	150	15 (30%)	0.169
NUD	69	207	20 (29%)	0.113

PUD, peptic ulcer disease; GERD, gastroesophageal reflux disease; NUD, non-ulcer dyspepsia. All test values were calculated with respect to PUD; P < 0.05 indicates statistical significance.
