Epidemiological status of family-based Helicobacter pylori infection in Yunnan Province, China
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: The status of family-based H. pylori infection in Yunnan Province is unknown. This study is the first family-based epidemiological survey of H. pylori in the province, aiming to provide new insights into the status of family-based H. pylori infections in Yunnan Province as well as in the country as a whole. METHODS: Between 2021 and 2023, 1,176 families with 2,947 family members were tested for H. pylori in six cities in Yunnan Province with different geographic locations and economic status, to assess the status of H. pylori infection, and to clarify the related factors and modes of transmission by means of a questionnaire survey. RESULTS: In Yunnan Province, the H. pylori infection rate was 31.46% (927/2947) in people and 54.59% (642/1176) in families.On the individual side, living outside of southern Yunnan (e.g., Central OR 1.41, 95% CI 1.10-1.81), having a family member living together for ≥ 1 year (OR 2.43, 95% CI 1.49-3.95), being ≥ 18 years old (e.g., 18-44 years old: OR 3.51, 95% CI 1.98-6.23), and gastrointestinal discomfort within the last 1 year (OR 1.25, 95% CI 1.04-1.50) were independent risk factors for H. pylori infection in the study population in Yunnan Province, whereas an education level of college/university and above (OR 0.62, 95% CI 0.48-0.79), and a gastroscopy within 5 years (OR 0.58, 95% CI 0.46-0.73) were independent protective factors for their H. pylori infection. In terms of family, living outside of southern Yunnan (e.g., Central OR 1.52, 95% CI 1.07-2.18), and having ≥ 3 people living together in the family (e.g., 3-4 people: OR 2.04, 95% CI 1.52-2.72) were independent risk factors for H. pylori infection in study families in Yunnan Province, whereas an annual household income of ≥ 100,000 ( OR 0.68, 95% CI 0.51-0.90), total household living area ≥ 60 m2 (OR 0.62, 95% CI 0.39-0.97), the use of separate meals for intra-household gatherings (OR 0.56, 95% CI 0.38-0.85), and the use of communal spoons and chopsticks (OR 0.38, 95% CI 0.28-0.52) were the independent protective factorse. CONCLUSION: The risk factors of Family-Based H. pylori infection in Yunnan province were closely related to demographic characteristics, personal and family living habits. Close contact with infected family members may be the main cause of transmission. Family-based control of H. pylori infection should be regarded in clinical practice.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
