- Abstract
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug and aspirin (here collectively called NSAIDs) use is the second most common aetiologic factor for peptic ulcer disease and a major factor for peptic ulcer complications. The role of NSAIDs in the pathogenesis of uncomplicated peptic ulcer is less well understood and the interaction between NSAIDs and Helicobacter pylori infection on ulcer development is controversial. The aim of the present study was to examine the role of NSAIDs in the occurrence and clinical features of uncomplicated peptic ulcer disease.
