  abstract = {Approximately 4.4 billion people worldwide are estimated to be positive for H. pylori. In developing countries like Ethiopia supposed to be a high prevalence and exposure of H. pylori infection where bacterial transmission is facilitated by poor hygiene and sanitation conditions.

Thus this study aimed to determine Feco-prevalence and associated factors of H. pylori infection among adult dyspeptic patients attending public health centers at Adama Woreda, East Shoa zone, Oromia, Ethiopia from May to July 2021 by stool Antigen test. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 356 adult dyspeptic patients by using a systematic random sampling technique. Data on socio-demographic characteristics and potential associated factors of H. pylori infection were collected by a structured interviewer-administered questionnaire. H. pylori stool antigens were detected by Wondfo one-step H. pylori feces test kit according to the manufacturer`s instruction.

Among many possible factors unable to read and write [AOR]: 6.4 (1.9, 21.3)] and elementary educational status [AOR]: 4.2 (1.3, 13.19)], being blood group O [AOR]: 33.4 (5.9, 189.8)], drinking alcohol [AOR]: 6.4 (1.1, 36.6)], eating raw vegetables and fruit [AOR]: 6.2 (2.4, 15.7)] and not hand washing habit before a meal [AOR]: 24.5 (7.4, 81.6)] were a strong predictor of H. Pylori infection. Conclusion and recommendation; this study indicated overall H. pylori Feco-prevalence was found to be 23%. Among several possible factors unable to read and write, being in blood group O, drinking alcohol, and not hand washing habit before the meal were significant determinants of H. pylori. Therefore; we recommend improving personal and environmental sanitation including water to reduce the burden of this bacterium.},
