How many are treated?

Hi, I should start by stating that I work at a University TTO and is involved in a project concerning a novel H. pylori treatment. My problem is that I can't find any relevant figures of how many patients that are treated. Does anyone have access to these figures. Could be US (always good), Europe or a total global figure.

Thanks in advance,
Patrik

H. pylori infection does not need to be reported. therefore, it's not easy to assess the cure rate in US.

however, try this paper. there is an epidemiology section. may be helpful to you
