Our aim was to compare the long-term clinical outcomes of idiopathic peptic ulcer disease (IPUD) with those of Helicobacter pylori-positive and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID)-induced peptic ulcer disease (PUD).Patients with endoscopically diagnosed PUD were retrospectively reviewed. According to their H. pylori-infection status and history of NSAIDs use, patients were categorized into three groups: H. pylori-positive PUD, NSAID-induced PUD, and IPUD. Clinical outcomes were analyzed, and the recurrence rate of PUD was compared among the three groups.A total of 238 patients were enrolled. Those with IPUD, NSAID-induced PUD, and H. pylori-positive PUD comprised of 56, 60, and 122 patients, respectively. The 5-year cumulative incidences of recurrent ulcers were 24.3
