Abstract: OBJECTIVES: (Hp) infection in children. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 340 children who underwent gastroscopy and gastric mucosa tissue Hp culture from July 2022 to June 2023 in the Department of Gastroenterology at Wuxi Children's Hospital due to upper gastrointestinal symptoms. Based on the results of Hp culture, the children were categorized into an Hp-infected group (146 cases) and a non-infected group (194 cases). The detection rates of various endoscopic findings in the gastric mucosa between the two groups were compared, and the association between each endoscopic finding and different Hp infection statuses was analyzed, as well as the diagnostic value of each endoscopic finding under different Hp infection statuses. RESULTS: <0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Endoscopic findings under white light gastroscopy are associated with Hp infection in children, with diffuse redness, mucosal edema, chicken skin-like changes, and enlarged folds showing significant diagnostic value for Hp infection.
