title: [Prevalence of gastric polypoid lesions at an endoscopic facility].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  The prevalence of gastric polyps is unknown in Hungary.
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  The aim of the authors was to assess the prevalence of polypoid lesions of the stomach in the endoscopic centre of the 2nd Department of Medicine, Semmelweis University.
  
  
  METHODS
  Results of upper gastrointestinal endoscopies carried out between March 2010 and June 2011 were analysed.
  
  
  RESULTS
  193 cases with polyps were diagnosed in 4174 endoscopies (4.62%). Hyperplastic polyps, fundic gland polyps and malignant lesion were detected in 33.67%, 31.09% and 2.07% of the cases, respectively. Proton pump inhibitor use was more frequent among patients diagnosed with fundus gland polyps (p = 0.007), while hyperplastic polyps were diagnosed more frequently in patients with chronic gastritis (p = 0.032).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The frequency of gastric polyps was higher than expected from data published in the literature. Long-term proton pump-inhibitor use and chronic gastritis were associated with fundus gland and hyperplastic polyps, respectively.
