Four hundred nine consecutive endoscopically diagnosed were enrolled seven hospitals. infection was assessed by rapid urease test histologic examination. The attributable risk percentages age groups appropriate formulas. Of 409 patients, 31 (7.6%) Hp− (gastric, 8.3%; duodenal, 7.6%). Age, nonsteriodal antiinflammatory drug (NSAID) consumption, complication rates significantly higher than Hp+ duodenal ulcers (DUs). DU, 58% did use NSAIDs. In percentage for aged 60 years 98%, 88%, 66%, respectively. about 8%, mainly unrelated to any known etiologic factor. one-third over years,
