Numerous epidemiological studies have investigated the association between Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) with various conflicting results. The main objective of this study is to further explore the possible association between H. pylori infection and IBD and its impact on disease course. The investigators sought to conduct a prospective observational study and enroll a total of 182 IBD patients who were screened for H. pylori infection.
