Effects of Successful Versus Delayed/Failed <scp> <i>Helicobacter pylori</i> </scp> Eradication Therapy on Subsequent Fracture Risk: a Population‐Based Cohort Study
When compared with HP-negative individuals, only HP-positive patients with delayed/failed HP eradication had a higher fracture risk, particularly in those with a prior history of gastric ulcer. These results may suggest a potential protective association of successful HP eradication and subsequent fracture risk.
