| Abstract |
In our clinical experience, postprandial symptomatic hypoglycemic (PSH) patients with H. pylori gastritis showed a substantial improvement in their hypoglycemic symptoms after the eradication of H. pylori. Therefore, in this study we have investigated whether H. pylori gastritis may contribute to the occurrence of PSH. For this purpose, we have evaluated the following parameters in 12 PSH patients with H. pylori gastritis before and one month after the eradication therapy: (1) the number and severity of PSH attacks that occurred in a one-month period using a 30-day diary, (2) the total symptom score following a mixed meal using a visual analog scale questionnaire (VASQ), and (3) the glucose and insulin responses to the mixed meal. After the eradication of H. pylori, the serum insulin responses at 30 and 60 min decreased (P < 0.001 in both), whereas the plasma glucose levels at 150, 180 and 210 min increased significantly (P < 0.001 for 180 min and P < 0.01 in others) following the mixed meal. The number and severity score of PSH attacks that occurred in a one-month period and the area under curve for symptom score in VASQ decreased significantly (P < 0.001 in all). These results suggest that H. pylori gastritis may contribute to the occurrence of PSH. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 4. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 19 August 2023.
All research outputs
#7,355,930
of 25,374,647 outputs
Outputs from Digestive Diseases and Sciences
#1,285
of 4,668 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#10,601
of 35,131 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Digestive Diseases and Sciences
#5
of 11 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,647 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 69th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,668 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.0. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 70% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 35,131 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 68% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 11 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 54% of its contemporaries.
