Associations of mortality and cancer-related mortality with H. pylori positive gastric cancer compared to H. pylori negative gastric cancer. Hazards ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) reported for univariate and multivariate models, adjusted for age, race, cancer stage, and receipt of treatment.

| H. pylori positive | 0.81 (0.46–1.41) | 0.85 (0.45–1.62) |
| H. pylori positive (including suspected) | 0.62 (0.36–1.07) | 0.61 (0.33–1.12) |
| Cancer-related Mortality | ||
| H. pylori positive | 0.79 (0.44–1.42) | 0.86 (0.43–1.73) |
