Abstract

The evidences on the association of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) to coronary heart diseases (CHD) are conflicting. In order to answer this important but yet unanswered clinical health issue, a large cohort study such as big data from the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database should be more convincing. Therefore, we aimed to make use of these big data source to analyze and clarify the relevance of H. pylori eradication and CHD risks. We looked through a total of 208196 patients with peptic ulcer diseases (PUD) from the years of 2000 to 2011. First, 3713 patients who received H. pylori eradication within 365 days of the index date were defined as the group A. We randomly selected the same number of patients as cohort A from 55249 non-eradication patients to be the comparison group B using propensity scores (including age, gender and comorbidity) so that we could control the confounding variables of CHD and mortality. Importantly, we perform sensitivity analysis for the time-dependent association between H. pylori eradication and risk of CHD, interactions between patient demographic characteristics and therapy by age (≥ or
