[Risk factors for peptic ulcers treated surgically].
To elucidate the risk factors of peptic ulcer which require surgical treatments, we examined the influences of following factors such as sex, age, smoking, and alcohol in 308 peptic ulcer patients. In the group with gastric ulcers, high age group was likely to be operated. On the contrary, young patients with duodenal ulcers were likely to be treated surgically. Sex, smoking and alcohol were not regarded as risk factors. The correlations between the degree of neurosis and the amounts of smoking and alcohol were analyzed in the cases with duodenal ulcers. In the cases treated surgically, the degree of neurosis showed no or little correlations. In the cases treated conservatively, however, the degree of neurosis showed positive correlation with the amounts of smoking and alcohol.
