Helicobacter pylori Burden in the United States According to Individual Demographics and Geography : A Nationwide Analysis of the Veterans Healthcare System
Published by Elsevier Inc..
BACKGROUND & AIMS: There are no contemporary large-scale studies evaluating the burden of Helicobacter pylori in the United States according to detailed demographics. The primary objective was to evaluate H pylori positivity in a large national healthcare system according to individual demographics and geography.
METHODS: We conducted a nationwide retrospective analysis of adults in the Veterans Health Administration who completed H pylori testing between 1999 and 2018. The primary outcome was H pylori positivity overall, as well as according to zip code-level geography, race, ethnicity, age, sex, and time period.
RESULTS: Among 913,328 individuals (mean, 58.1 years; 90.2% male) included between 1999 and 2018, H pylori was diagnosed in 25.8%. Positivity was highest in non-Hispanic black (median, 40.2%; 95% confidence interval [CI], 40.0%-40.5%) and Hispanic (36.7%; 95% CI, 36.4%-37.1%) individuals and lowest in non-Hispanic white individuals (20.1%; 95% CI, 20.0%-20.2%). Although H pylori positivity declined in all racial and ethnic groups over the timeframe, the disproportionate burden of H pylori in non-Hispanic black and Hispanic compared with non-Hispanic white individuals persisted. Approximately 4.7% of the variation in H pylori positivity was explained by demographics, with race and ethnicity accounting for the vast majority.
CONCLUSIONS: The burden of H pylori is substantial in the United States among veterans. These data should (1) motivate research aimed at better understanding why marked demographic differences in H pylori burden persist so that mitigating interventions may be implemented and (2) guide resource allocation to optimize H pylori testing and eradication in high-risk groups.
