Factors associated with gastroduodenal injuries suggestive in Table 1, with significant difference and established for gastroduodenal injuries according to previous studies, were examined for risk of gastroduodenal erosion using data of 1330 participants excluding those without H. pylori information and with ulcer. Risk of gastroduodenal erosion was estimated by the odds ratio with 95 % confidential interval using a monovariate (“Unadjusted”) or multivariate (“Adjusted”, which adjusted by all listed variables) logistic regression model
