Abstract:Objective To explore the risk factors of chronic atrophic gastritis. Method From January 2017 to January 2019, patients in North China University of Science and Technology Affiliated Hospital were collected. 200 patients with chronic atrophic gastritis diagnosed by gastroscopy and pathology were included in the experimental group (CAG group). 200 patients with non-atrophic gastritis diagnosed by gastroscopy were included in the control group. The data of patients were analyzed retrospectively. The factors include sex, age, Hp infection, bile reflux, smoking, alcohol consumption, drug history, family history and so on were analyzed by univariate and multivariate regression analysis. Result The rates of patients with male, old age, Hp infection, bile reflux, smoking, alcohol consumption, drug history, family history were significantly higher than those of control group (P < 0.05). Multivariate regression analysis showed that familial history was an independent risk factor of CAG group [Ol ^ R=7.181 (95% CI: 1.584, 32.554), P < 0.05]. There were significant differences in sex, Hp infection, smoking, drinking, drug history and family history in different pathological stages of CAG (P < 0.05). Multivariate regression analysis showed that positive Hp was an independent risk factor in CAG pathological stage [Ol ^ R=2.538 (95% CI: 1.459, 4.417)]. Conclusion CAG is affected by many clinical factors, and family history and Hp infection are the risk factors of CAG; and Hp infection is the risk factor of pathological stage of CAG. For CAG patients, the eradication of Hp can bring more benefits. Controlling risk factors helps reduce the risk of CAG.
