Abstract
Background: and extra gastric disorders including atherosclerosis. Objective: infection with dyslipidaemia and other atherogenic factors in dyspeptic patients at St. Paul's Hospital Millennium Medical College, from November 2019 to June 2020. Materials and methods: This institution-based cross-sectional study was examining 346 dyspeptic patients at SPHMMC from November 2019 to June 2020. A structured questionnaire was used to collect socio-demography data and anthropometric measurement was taken. Biochemical parameters were measured in serum samples by using Cobas 6000 clinical chemistry analyzer. Data were coded and entered into a statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) version 23 for analysis. Risk factors were identified using logistic regression. Hence, a bivariate logistic regression analysis test was conducted and variables with a p < 0.25 were included in the multivariate logistic regression model. P-values ≤0.05 were considered as a cut point for statistical significance in the final model. Results: seropositive (AOR 0.555, 95% CI 0.318-0.967, P = 0.038) were an independent predictors of dyslipidemia. Conclusion: seropositive groups had exhibited dyslipidemia in at least one lipid profile, which can accelerate the incidence of atherosclerosis process.
