Association between Helicobacter pylori infection and non-cardia gastric cancer3-150 by interval between sample collection for H pylori serology and cancer diagnosis, age at diagnosis, sex, and tumour histology3-152
↵3-150 Excludes all cases known to have had a partial gastrectomy and cases where the cancer could not be localised to a particular part of the stomach.
3-151 Percentages are not directly comparable across strata because different studies contributed different numbers of cases to each stratum.
↵3-152 Information about histological type was only available for seven studies (the two from the USA, the two from Finland, Taiwan, Japan, and Norway).
OR, odds ratio; CI, confidence interval.
