TL;DR
Large amounts of variation among regions are observed among regions-more than half the world's population is infected, which can be used in development of customized strategies for the global eradication.
Abstract
In a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the prevalence of H pylori infection worldwide, we observed large amounts of variation among regions-more than half the world's population is infected. These data can be used in development of customized strategies for the global eradication.
