Epidemiology of asymptomatic peptic ulcer disease diagnosed during screening endoscopy in patients with cirrhosis

We found that patients with liver cirrhosis are more likely to have asymptomatic peptic ulcers. Asymptomatic PUD was linked to <i>H. pylori</i> infection, greater alcohol consumption, and Child-Pugh class C liver disease, highlighting the need for targeted prevention and management strategies to reduce morbidity in patients with cirrhosis, such as eradication therapy for <i>H. pylori</i> and counseling on alcohol use.
