Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of Helicobacter pylori (H. Pylori) in colorectal polyps and whether this infection differs according to neoplastic and dysplastic polyp types.
Materials and Methods: A total of 593 patients (mean age 59.5±12.0), 279 females and 314 males, who underwent colonoscopy and endoscopy at Erzurum Training and Research Hospital were included in the study. The patients were grouped into two groups with endoscopic findings. These groups are patients with colorectal polyps (n=330) and those with normal colonoscopy results (n=263). The presence of H. Pylori infection was diagnosed with endoscopic biopsy. Hematological parameters were analyzed.
Results: H. Pylori positivity was detected at a rate of 59.1% in patients with colorectal polyps, while this rate was found to be 21.3% in the normal colonoscopy group (p
