Effects of hydrotalcite combined with esomeprazole on gastric ulcer healing quality: A clinical observation study

Table 1 Comparison of general parameters, Helicobacter pylori positive rate, endoscopic ulcer healing, morphological changes at gastric pits and microvascular networks among the three groups

Group	No.	Gender	Age (yr)	H. pylori positive rate (BT)	H. pylori positive rate (AT)	Total effective rate (AT)	Gastric pits (AT)	Microvascular network changes (AT)

¹ANOVA test was conducted because these data obey normal distributions;

²χ² test was conducted because these data obey χ² distributions;

³P values of post hoc comparison between groups were all lower than 0.05;

⁴P values between groups were higher than 0.05. BT: Before treatment; AT: After treatment; H. pylori: Helicobacter pylori.
