Objective To investigate the relation between colonic adenomatous polyps and Helicobacter pylori infection. Methods A case-control study was conducted to collect clinical data of patients with colonic adenomatous polyps in People's Hospital of Zhongjiang County from February 2014 to September 2015. Patients with healthy colon of the corresponding period of the hospital were collected as a control group. The difference of positive rate of Hp infection was compared between the colonic adenomatous polyps group and the control group. According to the age, gender, living condition, location, type of pedicle, pathological type and number, the colonic adenomatous polyps group was divided into subgroups and the differences of positive rate of Hp infection were compared among the subgroups. Results A total of 219 patients involving 119 cases and 100 controls were included. The positive rate of Hp infection in the colonic adenomatous polyps group was significantly higher than that in the control group (69.7% vs. 52.0%) with a significant difference (χ2=7.239, P=0.007). Among 119 patients with colonic adenomatous polyps, no statistical differences were found in the positive rate of Hp infection among subgroups of different age, gender, living condition, location, type of pedicle, pathological type and number (all P values>0.05). Conclusion Hp infection may increase the risk of developing colonic adenomatous polyps.
