p values were calculated by chi-square test. ※1The Kimura-Takemoto classification system even in the “negative-high” group, 75.2% (103/137) of the patients had ≥C-2 gastric atrophy. 22.6% of patients in the “negative-high” group had a present infection. The rate of past infection was significantly higher in the “negative-high” group (60.6%) than in the “over-10 U/mL” group (). The combined rate of present and past infection was 83.2% in the “negative-high” group. |
