PART II – THE PROTOCOL
1 INTRODUCTION
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), a causative agent of chronic gastric infections, is estimated
peptic ulcer disease and gastric malignancy has been established, the role of H. pylori in
cholelithiasis has been controversial with studies for and against the role of H. pylori as a
6-10
predisposing factor for cholelithiasis . Since very few studies have been done to detect
the presence of H. pylori infection in gastric mucosa and gall bladder mucosa, the role of
necessitates the need for further study of H. pylori infection in cholelithiasis 11,12.
symptoms with biliary colic being the most common. Biliary colic is characteristically
right upper quadrant abdominal pain lasting more than half an hour without fever, other
symptoms include upper quadrant pain epigastric pain, intolerance to fatty foods, nausea,

2. AIMS AND OBJECTIVE
OBJECTIVES:
1.To detect the presence of H. pylori organism in gall bladder mucosa using histology.
2 REVIEW OF LITERATURE
epithelium was investigated in Brazilian population with a sample size of 64, 46 with
species culture and nested 16S rRNA in gall bladder and bile. An association was found.
In another study by Bulajic M, the objective of study was to determine whether there
is an association between H. pylori in bile and biliary tract carcinoma. A prospective study,
with a sample size of 89 patients, 63 patients had gallstones, 15 patients had biliary tumors,
6
and 11 patients had neither condition. Strengths - double positive samples from two
underwent endoscopy ,72 patients with and 136 patients without gall stones were assigned
to case and control groups respectively. 31 (43.1%) out of 72 patients and 45(33.8%) out of
136 patients were positive for H. pylori infection. Mild gastritis- with gall stones is 10
(13.9%) and without stones is 28(20.6%) and moderate/severe gastritis – with stones
21(29.2%) and without stones is 17 (12.5%). H. pylori has been associated with increased
incidence of severe gastritis in comparison. This study shows the increased frequency of H.
pylori infection with stone in gall bladder, though statistically not significant. Limitations
symptomatic gall stones were investigated. Out of the 94 patients, 35 patients (37%) gall
bladder mucosa tested positive for H. pylori by any of the methods. H. pylori was positive
in 47 (58.7%) gastric mucosa and in 21 (22%) gall bladder mucosa. In 15 patients (15.9%)
both gall bladder mucosa and gastric mucosa tested positive for H. pylori. Study
Strengths – three methods of detection, prospective study. Limitations – sample size and

RESEARCH QUESTION OR HYPOTHESIS
To show the positive association between H.pylori infection in gall bladder and
cholelithiasis using histolopathology.

SAMPLE SIZE:
Based on previous study by Wafi Attaallah et al.The sample size is calculated as-
n = Z(1-alpha)2 x P x (1-P) / d2

METHODOLOGY
The patients are diagnosed with cholelithiasis by ultrasonography and undergoing
examination. The prevelance of H. pylori infection in gall bladder mucosa is detected. The
relationship of gall bladder histopathology and its association with H. pylori is assessed. The

Gall bladder sample from all patients who underwent cholecystectomy are subjected to
histology and stool sample for H pylori antigen after taking informed consent for the same

guidelines.

We welcome you and thank you for having accepted our request to consider whether you
can participate in our study. This sheet contains details the details of the study; the possible
risks , discomfort and benefits for the participants are also given.
You can read and understand by yourself; if you wish , we are ready to read and explain the
same to you.
If you do not understand anything or if you want any more details we are ready to provide
the details.

This study is being conducted not only as a part of the syllabus of post graduate course, but
also to effectively come out with results favourable in diagnostic and therapeutic work up of
patients in the future in this institution.
You have been diagnosed to have gallbladder stones and undergoing surgery for the same.
We want to know whether you have concomitant H pylori infection in your gallbladder
mucosa which would have predisposed to form gallbladder stones. So that we can treat H
pylori in the early stages and prevent the formation of gallstones in other patients.
No. If you do not wish to participate you will not be included in the study. Also you will
continue to get medical treatment without any prejudice.
No, gall bladder sample will be subjected to histological examination and this will involve
minimal risk.

Can I withdraw from this study at any time during the study period?
Yes. You can withdraw at any time during the study period.
