Objective:
To determine the association of HP infection with COPD, assessing its prevalence and influence on symptoms, lung function, quality of life, exacerbations, hospitalizations, mortality, and healthcare costs.
Methods:
We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis after conducting a systematic literature search in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Virtual Health Library, ScienceDirect, Scopus, Researchgate, and GoogleScholar, from database inception to 31/12/2022. We used the Der Simonian-Laird method to calculate pooled HP prevalence, the Mantel-Haenszel model to determine the association of HP with COPD, and the inverse variance method to compare the pulmonary function tests between infected and uninfected patients, always with a fixed-effect model.
Results:
Twenty-eight studies included a total of 8647 patients with COPD. The pooled prevalence of HP infection was 29.8% (95%CI 29.0-30.7%). The more severe stage of COPD lesser the prevalence of HP (p < 0.001). HP infection was associated with COPD, estimated odds ratio 1.90 (95%CI 1.71, 2.12), p < 0.001. The mean differences for p%FEV1, p%FVC and FEV1/FVC ratio between HP infected and uninfected patients with COPD were -13.06 (95%CI -14.54, -11.58), -3.72 (95%CI -5.64, -1.79) and -0.01 (95%CI -0.02, -0.00) respectively.
Conclusion:
Our meta-analysis suggests an appreciable relationship between HP infection and COPD. Further longitudinal studies considerating confounders and investigating causality are required.

Symptoms of COPD can be classified as primary or systemic. Primary symptoms relate to reduced airflow, while systemic or extrapulmonary symptoms relate to COPD's broader impact on the body.

An acute ulcer, marked by superficial erosion and minimal inflammation, swiftly resolves upon identifying and addressing the underlying cause. In contrast, a chronic ulcer persists, potentially eroding through the muscular wall and forming fibrous tissue.

Smoking is a primary risk factor for COPD, with over 80% of patients having a history of it. Patients typically experience progressive dyspnea or labored breathing, frequent coughing, and recurrent pulmonary infections. Many eventually succumb to respiratory failure, characterized by...
