| Objective In this study, we aimed to investigate the frequency of restless legs syndrome (RLS) in patients with and without helicobacter pylori (HP) detected in pathology. Material and Method This study was carried out prospectively between January-June 2019 with patients who had dyspeptic complaints and underwent upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and biopsy. The frequency of RLS was compared between the two groups by applying a questionnaire to patients with and without HP. Results The study was carried out with 96 patients, 72 HP positive and 24 HP negative. Fifty-two of the patients were women (54%) and 44 were men (46%). The mean age of patients was 44. When the positivity of patients in terms of HP was examined, 1+ HP in 24 patients (25%), 2+ HP in 24 patients (25%) and 3 + HP in 24 patients (25%) were detected. Thirteen patients were diagnosed as RLS with the questionnaires (14%). The average age of these patients was 41. Nine patients were women (69%) and 4 patients were men (31%). Only two of these patients smoked (15%). When patients were classified according to whether they had HP or not, the rate of RLS was 8.3% in patients who were HP negative, while this rate was 12.5% in patients with 1+ HP, 12.5% in patients with 2+ HP and 21% in patients with 3+ HP. Conclusion In thisstudy, it wasshown that the rate of RLS was 14% in patients with dyspeptic complaints who had endoscopy and the rate of RLS increased with HP severity. |
