Purpose: We aimed to conduct an updated systematic review and network meta-analysis (NMA) to estimate the efficacy of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) treatment strategies in Arab countries. Methods: We systematically searched PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science (WOS), EBSCO, and EMBASE from inception to July 18, 2020, using boolean operators. Retrieved articles were screened, and relevant data were extracted. We used R programming software to analyze extracted data. Results: Fifty-four articles (n= 7829 patients) were included in the NMA. Pooled overall analysis demonstrated that adjuvant therapy (standard triple or sequential therapy plus another adjuvant drug) was the best treatment with higher odds of eradication rate [OR= 6.42, 95% CI (1.37: 30.05), P-score= 0.21]. Moreover, Seqential therapy (SQT) and Quinolone based therapy (QBT) were associated with higher eradication rate compared to other regimens [OR= 4.83, 95% CI (1.49: 15.64), P-score= 0.30] and [OR= 4.32, 95% CI (1.15: 16.16), P-score= 0.36], respectively. In adults, the efficacy of QBT was higher than other stratigies in terms of H. pylori eradication [OR= 2.00, 95% CI (1.09, 3.69), P score= 0.19]. In naïve population, QBT and SQT were associated with substantial eradication rate [OR= 1.94, 95% CI (1.19: 3.16), P score=0.19] and [OR= 1.66, 95% CI (1.10: 2.50), P score=0.33], respectively. Conclusion: Our findings suggest that standard triple or sequential therapy plus another adjuvant drug, QBT and SQT therapies were the most effective regimens for eradicating H.pylori in Arab countries.

Aim: Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection and periodontitis have considerable worldwide prevalence once they both present systemic alterations with a possible association between them. Therefore, we have performed this meta-analysis to assess the possible association between H. pylori infection and periodontitis. Material and Methods: A systematic search in the literature was performed for studies published before December 2, 2019 in diverse scientific and educational databases. The data was extracted by two investigators and the statistical analysis was performed by Review Manager statistical program with heterogeneity and Odds Ratio (OR) with 95% of Confidence Intervals (CI) calculations as well as a sensitive analysis to assess the accuracy of the results. The value of P<0.05 was considered as significant. In addition, we performed the analysis of the quality of included studies as well as the evaluation for risk of bias. Results: In overall analysis, H. pylori infection was associated with the risk of periodontitis development (OR = 1.72, CI: 1.47, 2.02, P<0.00001) and the periodontitis was considered as a risk factor for H. pylori infection (OR = 3.21, CI: 2.31, 4.47, P<0.00001). Moreover, the evaluation of dental plaque from patients with periodontitis reveled increased risk of H. pylori infection (OR = 3.46, CI: 2.39, 5.01, P<0.00001). Conclusions: This current systematic review and meta-analysis composed by 12 studies in 7,059 participants showed that H. pylori infection increased significantly the risk of the development of periodontitis and the periodontitis may be a risk for this bacterial infection.

Abstract Background Conflicting results of recent studies on the association between Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection and the risk of insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome explored the need for updated meta-analysis on this issue. Therefore, this systematic review aimed to estimate the pooled effect of H. pylori infection on the risk of insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome. Methods To identify case-control studies and cohort studies evaluating the association of H. pylori infection with insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome, a comprehensive literature search was performed from international databases including Medline (PubMed), Web of Sciences, Scopus, EMBASE, and CINHAL from January 1990 until January 2021. We used odds ratio with its 95% confidence interval (95%CI) to quantify the effect of case-control studies and risk ratio with its 95%CI for the effect of cohort studies. Results 22 studies with 206911 participants were included for meta-analysis. The pooled estimate of odds ratio between H. pylori infection and metabolic syndrome in case-control studies was 1.19 (95%CI: 1.05, 1.35; I2 = 0%), and in cohort studies, the pooled risk ratio was 1.31 (95%CI: 1.13, 1.51; I2 = 0%). Besides, case-control studies showed the pooled odds ratio of 1.54 (95%CI: 1.19, 1.98; I2 = 6.88%) for the association between H. pylori infection and insulin resistance. Conclusion A positive association was found between H. pylori infection and insulin resistance as well as metabolic syndrome, so planning to eliminate or eradicate H. pylori infection could be an effective solution to improve metabolic syndrome or insulin resistance, and vice versa.

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is the main cause of most gastroduodenal diseases. Triple therapy including two antibiotics, amoxicillin and clarithromycin, and a proton pump inhibitor given for a week has been recommended as the treatment of choice since the revision of the Korean H. pylori Clinical Practice Guidelines in 2013. However, antimicrobial resistance significantly decreased the cure rate of H. pylori eradication to 63.9%. Thus, the new H. pylori treatment regimen would be needed to increase the eradication rate in Korea. Recently, the update of clinical practice guideline for treatment of H. pylori was developed by conducting a meta-analysis. In this review, the recommended H. pylori eradication regimen in current 2020 guideline will be discussed.

The Relationship

4091 Background: The relationship between Helicobacter pylori (H.pylori) and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) was first proposed in 1994. Since then, several studies have been performed to explore the association. The role of Hepatitis C (HCV) viruses coexisting with H.pylori in causing HCC was also studied. With the emergence of data in this regard, a causal relationship has been postulated, but not confirmed, and hence the relationship remains controversial. Our meta-analysis aims to summarize the research on this topic and investigate if there exists a relationship between H. pylori infection and the development of HCC and if the presence of HCV along with H.pylori plays a role in liver carcinogenesis. Methods: Following PRISMA guidelines, we performed a systematic review of all relevant studies published in the literature using keywords “Helicobacter pylori” and “Hepatocellular carcinoma” on major literature databases, including PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Cochrane controlled trials register. A total of 656 studies were identified between 1994 to March 2020, out of which 26 studies qualified under our selection criteria. Patients positive for HCC are included as cases and patients that did not have HCC under control group. In both groups, H.pylori positive patients and their HCV status, was identified. Results: Out of the 26 studies included in the final analysis, the prevalence of H. pylori infection was 64.78% (561 of 866) amongst HCC cases and 47.92% (1718 of 3585) in the non-HCC control group. The summary odds ratio for the association of H. pylori infection with the risk for HCC using the random-effects model was determined to be 4.75 (95% CI, 3.06-7.37), I²=63%. Subgroup analysis to determine the odds of developing HCC in the presence of H.pylori and HCV coinfection, was 13.97 (95% CI, 3.94-49.61), I²=81%. Whereas, the odds of developing HCC in the presence of only HCV without H.pylori was found to be 2.21 (0.70-6.94), I²=79. Subgroup analysis by study design showed no significant difference between the study groups (P= 0.5705). Conclusions: Our meta-analysis showed a positive association between H. pylori infection and the development of HCC. It showed a significantly higher risk of developing HCC in the presence of HCV infection along with H.pylori. Further prospective cohort studies are needed to prove the causal relationship, especially in cases of Hepatitis B, C coinfection, and cirrhotic patients.[Table: see text]
