Abstract		Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is the most common chronic bacterial infection in the world, affecting over 50% of the world ʹs population. H. pylori is a grade I carcinogen, responsible for the development of 89% of noncardia gastric cancers. In the present study, we analyzed the data for H. pylori eradication treatments in Slovenia after the 3rd national recommendations were implemented. Patients and Methods: Slovenia is part of the European Registry on H. pylori Management since the Registry was launched in 2013. Data were collected at Asociación Española de Gastroenterología-Research Electronic Data Capture electronic case report form from September 2017 to December 2019.
