A systematic review and meta-analysis for association of Helicobacter pylori colonization and celiac disease.

ABSTRACT:

Background and objectives

Based on some previous observational studies, there is a theory that suggests a potential relationship between Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) colonization and celiac disease (CeD); however, the type of this relationship is still controversial. Therefore, we aimed to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis to explore all related primary studies to find any possible association between CeD and human H. pylori colonization.

Data sources

Studies were systematically searched and collected from four databases and different types of gray literature to cover all available evidence. After screening, the quality and risk of bias assessment of the selected articles were evaluated.

Synthesis methods

Meta-analysis calculated pooled odds ratio (OR)
