Odds ratio of glandular atrophy (AT) and intestinal metaplasia (IM) in different Helicobacter pylori genotype combinations after adjustment for age

AT (%)Non-AT (%)Odds ratio* (95% CI)IM (%)Non-IM (%)Odds ratio* (95%CI)
*Common odds ratio was given after adjustment for the effect of age (>50 or ≤50 years) by the Mantel-Haenszel statistics.
95% CI, 95% confidence interval.
As all strains were of the vacA s1 genotype and 98.1% strains were cagA+, analysis was not possible for these two genotypes.
