Analgesics and gastric ulcers. A case-control study in an urbanised black population.
The patterns of analgesic ingestion in urbanised black patients with gastric ulcer disease were assessed. A strong statistical association was found between the quantity ingested and the disease. There was no difference in the type of analgesic and smoking and alcohol habits between gastric ulcer patients and controls in this study.
