dc.description.abstractOBJECTIVE: We aim to assess the diagnostic accuracy of the gastric biopsy Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) antigen stool test as a novel method for detecting H. pylori, comparing this test with the histopathological evaluation of H. pylori and H. pylori antigen stool test as the reference standards. PATIENTS AND METHODS: The study involves patients who are scheduled for an upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. Gastric biopsies were endoscopically obtained from all patients, and H. pylori antigen stool tests were performed for all patients. Results from the gastric biopsies that were studied using the H. pylori antigen stool test in terms of the novel method were obtained and recorded. The inter-rater agreement between the H. pylori tests in determining positive and negative results was investigated using Fleiss' and Cohen's kappa tests. The capacity of applied tests in predicting the presence of H. pylori was analyzed using a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. RESULTS: A total of 55 patients were studied (32 females and 23 males). The strongest coherence was obtained between the gastric biopsy test and histopathological evaluation with a kappa value of 0.664 in Cohen's kappa analysis of overall coherence between tests. The most accurate sensitivity and specificity values were obtained for the gastric biopsy test and histopathological evaluation cross-tabulation for both overall comparisons at 90.5% sensitivity and 79.4% specificity. CONCLUSIONS: With this new, rapid, and easy-to-apply method, patients' endoscopies and gastric biopsies looking for the presence of H. pylori would be determined with more sensitive and more specific accuracy rates than current antigen stool tests, and H. pylori can be eradicated immediately without waiting for the histopathological evaluation period.en_US
