Table 3. The association between GEJAC and HP infection in several case-control studies.
Author | Year | Country | No. of GEJAC | Results | Statistics |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Kamangar et al. [49] | 2006 | USA | 61 | Inverse association with HP+ | OR, 0.31; 95% CI, 0.11–0.89 |
Whiteman et al. [50] | 2010 | Australia | 307 | Inverse association with HP+ | OR, 0.41; 95% CI, 0.27–0.60 |
Inomata et al. [51] | 2006 | Japan | 12 | HP+ significantly lower than in early GNCC | P<0.05 |
GEJAC = gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma; HP = Helicobacter pylori; OR = odds ratio; CI = confidence interval; GNCC = gastric non-cardia cancer.
