Analyses of the association between <i>Helicobacter pylori</i> antibody titre and pathogenicity before and after eradication: results of the Kyushu and Okinawa population study, a retrospective observational cohort study
Our data indicate that the <i>H. pylori</i> antibody titre may represent the degree of pathogenicity. The <i>H. pylori</i> antibody titre was associated with attenuation of pathogenicity in patients with <i>H. pylori</i> eradication, indicating the clinical utility of <i>H. pylori</i> antibody testing.
