Abstract

|
Although there have been reports showing a decreasing trend in the global prevalence of peptic ulcer diseases (PUD), PUD is still one of the most common upper gastrointestinal diseases. Helicobacter pylori is a major cause of PUD and the prevalence of H. pylori infection has been reported to be declining in Korea. However the use of ulcerogenic drugs such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and aspirin has been reported to be increasing in Korea. The purpose of this review was to investigate how these changing trends affect the prevalence of PUD in Korea. In this review, we identified the risk factors for PUD and assessed the prevalence of PUD in Korea according to different time trends.
