Trial summary

2.2 Aim 1. To evaluate the association between H. pylori infection and the components of metabolic syndrome. 2. To assess the relationship between the histopathologic features of chronic gastritis evaluated using USS and the components of metabolic syndrome in both H. pylori-positive and H. pylori-negative patients.

2.4. 2- Study Setting: Department of Pathology, Faculty of Medicine, Assiut University.

  1. Sample Size Calculation: Sample size was calculated using Epi- Info7. Based on The H. pylori-positive patients were more likely to develop dyslipidemia, and 77.47% of individuals testing positive for H. pylori have higher total cholesterol levels (11). With a confidence limit of 5% and a confidence level of 80%, the minimum number of patients required for this study is 114 cases

2.4.4 -Study tools The study will include 114 patients diagnosed with gastritis in the Gastroenterology unit and scheduled for upper gastrointestinal endoscopy with stomach biopsy. Written informed consent will be obtained from all patients participating in the study.

All subjects will be asked to complete a medical history questionnaire, followed by a physical examination (height, body weight, waist circumference, and blood pressure) and laboratory investigations (fasting blood glucose, liver function test, total cholesterol, triglycerides, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol( The endoscopy will be carried out by the same specialist, and it will assess chronic and acute gastritis, atrophic gastritis, and metaplasia. The endoscopist will obtain five biopsy samples: two from the antrum, two from the corpus, and one from the incisura.

All biopsies will be processed at the Pathology Department laboratory and embedded in paraffin blocks. For histological examination, two tissue sections will be stained: hematoxylin and eosin (H\&E) and Giemsa stain. Each sample will undergo a double-blind review by two independent pathologists according to the USS (HP, neutrophils, mononuclear cells, atrophy, and intestinal metaplasia), and each variable will be graded semi-quantitatively.

Statistical analysis using suitable tests will be used to assess our results.

2.4.5 -Research outcome measures:

  1. Primary (main): to evaluate the association between H.pylori gastritis and its relation to metabolic syndrome components
  2. Secondary (subsidiary):

2.5-Data management and analysis : Data collection All subjects will be asked to complete a medical history questionnaire, followed by a physical examination (height, body weight, waist circumference, and blood pressure) and laboratory investigations (fasting blood glucose, liver function test, total cholesterol, triglycerides, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Gastritis, run by Assiut University.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Apr 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Dyslipidemia (time frame: periprocedural). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 20 Apr 2025.
