Association between helicobacter pylori infection and abdominal aortic aneurysm: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background and objective

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) poses a significant health risk, particularly in aging populations. This study aims to quantify the association between Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection and AAA development through a systematic review and meta-analysis, emphasizing numerical results for clarity.

Method

Following PRISMA guidelines, PubMed, SCOPUS, Medline and Embase searches were conducted. Data extraction and quality assessment were performed using standardized tools. Statistical analysis involved calculating a pooled risk ratio (RR) with a 95% confidence interval (CI) to determine the association between H. pylori infection and AAA development.

Result

Among the 8 selected studies, H. pylori infection exhibited a statistically significa
