<i>Helicobacter pylori</i> infection and the risk of Barrett’s oesophagus: a community-based study

Abstract

Helicobacter pylori infection and CagA+ status were inversely associated with a new diagnosis of Barrett's oesophagus. The findings are consistent with the hypothesis that H pylori colonisation protects against Barrett's oesophagus and that the association may be at least partially mediated through GORD.
