 | | This increase in cancer incidence was not found in a subgroup of 8,646 patients with pre-pyloric gastric ulcers, however. | | | The cohort consisted of 29,287 patients with gastric ulcer only, 24,456 with duodenal ulcers and 4.193 with both (analyzed separately). | | | The development of atrophic gastritis may protect against duodenal ulcer disease, however, which would explain the negative correlation found here between duodenal ulcer and gastric cancer. |

| | About 50-80% of patients with duodenal ulcer experience nightly pain, as opposed to only 30-40% of patients with gastric ulcer and 20-40% of patients with nonulcer dyspepsia (NUD). | | | The pain of duodenal ulcer is generally episodic; however, the pain can evolve into a chronic, daily occurrence in some patients. | | | However, the risk of developing a duodenal ulcer in an individual infected with H pylori is only about 1% per year, and only 10-15% of individuals with H pylori infection develop a duodenal ulcer at any point in life. |

| | The latter view is suggested by the stable incidence of perforations during this same period, and by the increase in the incidence of duodenitis and esophagitis as the incidence of duodenal ulcer has reportedly declined. | | | Management of the patient with acute duodenal ulcer should be based on the following goals: pain relief, ulcer healing, prevention and/or appropriate treatment of complications, and reduction of recurrence. | | | The primary care physician may be responsible for providing ambulatory care to the patient who has undergone surgery for the treatment of intractable ulcer or one of the other complications of duodenal ulcer. |

| | Malabsorption (Duodenal Switch): The intestines are divided and rearranged to separate food from the digestive juices, thereby creating malabsorption. | | | It is more controversial because it has a significant component of malabsorption (bypass of the intestinal tract), which seems to augment and help maintain long-term weight loss. | | | It generates weight loss by restricting the amount of food that can be eaten (removal of stomach or vertical gastrectomy) and by limiting the amount of food (specifically fat) that is absorbed into the body (intestinal bypass or duodenal switch). |
