<i>Helicobacter pylori</i> infection and its impact on psoriasis: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Psoriasis is a chronic skin condition characterized by immune-mediated inflammation. Recent research suggests a possible interaction between Helicobacter pylori infection and the immunopathogenesis of psoriasis. However, over the past 5 years, no significant new evidence has clarified the relationship between H. pylori and skin diseases. This study aimed to determine the relationship between H. pylori infection and psoriasis through a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Methods

We searched for articles published in databases including PubMed, Embase, the China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and Web of Science up to January 1, 2024. Statistical analyses were conducted using Review Manager 5.3 and Stata 12.0 software.
