Table 2 Positive urease test, histology, bacterial culture and mucosal PCR in patients with bleeding and non-bleeding peptic ulcers.

	*Bleeding peptic ulcers (n =* 88, %)**	*Non-bleeding peptic ulcers (n =* 81, %)**	*CG (n =* 37, %)**
Urease test	42/88 (48)	67/79 (85)	18/37 (49)
Histology	41/86 (48)	61/80 (76)	14/30 (47)

PCR^b	54/88 (61)	70/81 (86)	20/37 (54)

^bP<0.001 between bleeding peptic ulcers and non-bleeding peptic ulcers, and between non-bleeding peptic ulcers and chronic gastritis (CG).

Table 3 Results of PCR test in patients with chronic gastritis, non-bleeding and bleeding peptic ulcers (PU).

Patients	PCR results	Hp (+)	Hp (-)	Sensitivity (%)	Specificity (%)	PPV (%)	NPV (%)	Accuracy (%)
Chronic gastritis	Positive	20	0	100	100	100	100	100
	Negative	0	17	(99.9-100.1)	(99.9-100.1)	(99.9-100.1)	(99.9-100.1)	(99.9-100.1)

^bP<0.001 vs non-bleeding, P = 0.02 vs chronic gastritis;

^dP<0.01 vs non-bleeding;

^fP = 0.001 vs chronic gastritis, P<0.001 vs non-bleeding;

^aP=0.02 vs chronic gastritis. Hp+: either positive H pylori culture or both positive rapid urease test and histology. PPV: positive predictive value, NPV: negative predictive value.
