*These analyses relate to all of the impact of H. pylori testing and eradication in the population described, and the DALYs gained is what would be achieved hypothetically over the lifetime of the population being screened at a given time point.
DALYs, disability-adjusted life-years; H. pylori, Helicobacter pylori.
