Eradication of Helicobacter pylori for prevention of aspirin-associated peptic ulcer bleeding in adults over 65 years: the HEAT RCT by CJ Hawkey, Anthony J Avery, Carol AC Coupland, Colin J Crooks, Jennifer S Dumbleton, FD Richard Hobbs, Denise Kendrick, Michael Moore, Clive Morris, Gregory Rubin, Murray Smith, Diane Stevenson

“…Findings Between 14 September 2012 and 22 November 2017, 30,166 participants underwent H. pylori breath testing, 5367 had a positive result, 5352 were randomised to an intention-to-treat population of 2677 (eradication) and 2675 (placebo) and followed up for a median of 5.0 years (interquartile range 3.9–6.4). Statistical analysis of the primary outcome showed an overall hazard ratio of 0.69 [95% confidence interval 0.38 to 1.25; p = 0.22], but there was a significant departure from the proportional hazards assumption (p = 0.0068), requiring analysis split at the median time to event: 2.5 years. …”
