Prevalence, anatomical pattern and modifiable risk factors of peptic ulcer disease among patients undergoing upper gastrointestinal endoscopy in central Nepal: a cross-sectional and nested matched case– control study

2026-08-03

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Background Peptic ulcer disease (PUD) is an important cause of gastrointestinal morbidity in South Asia, yet contemporary endoscopy-based data from Nepal are limited and rarely capture modifiable risk factors. We aimed to estimate the prevalence and anatomical pattern of PUD and to examine its associated risk factors at a tertiary centre in central Nepal. Methods We conducted a retros...
