Abstract:Objective To evaluate the effect of management of chronic diseases in army men with peptic ulcer diseases.Methods Eighty-two army men with peptic ulcer diseases were randomly divided into the trial group(treatment via chronic diseases management,such as establishing health records,health education,regular follow-up,medical compliance and changing unhealthy habits n=42)and the control group(conventional treatment n=40).After treatment ,ulcer healing,Hp eradication,ulcer recurrence and the awareness of peptic ulcer were compared between the two groups.Results After treatment,the cure rate of ulcer was 97.6% in the trial group,but was 72.5% in the control group.The difference was statistically significant(χ2=10.34,P<0.05).The Hp eradication rate was 92.8% in the trial group and 60.0% in the control group,so the difference was also of statistical significance(χ2=14.81,P<0.05).After two years of follow-up,the rate of ulcer recurrence in the trial group was 7.1%,which was significantly lower than 22.5% in the control group. The difference was statistically significant(χ2=3.87,P<0.05).The patients in the trial group had a higher awareness score of peptic ulcer than those in the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(t’=15.92,P<0.05).Conclusions Treatment via chronic diseases management for peptic ulcer can effectively increase the healing rate,the eradication rate of Hp and the awareness score of peptic ulcer while decreasing recurrence remarkably.
