< em > Helicobacter pylori < /em > infection and the risk of upper gastrointestinal bleeding in low dose aspirin users: systematic review and meta-analysis.

CONCLUSIONS: The odds of upper gastrointestinal bleeding in patients taking low dose aspirin is about twice as great in those infected with H. pylori. Testing for and treating the infection should be considered in such patients, especially if their underlying risk of peptic ulcer bleeding is already high. PMID: 30257623 [PubMed - in process]
