Core Tip	Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is associated with the development of several gastrointestinal disorders ranging from gastritis to gastric cancer. The evidence of the association between metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) and H. pylori infection in the literature is scarce. In this study, we evaluate the risk of developing MASH in patients who have had a diagnosis of H. pylori infection independently of any confounding variables. A validated multicenter and research platform database of more than 360 hospitals from 26 different healthcare systems across the United States from 1999 to September 2022 was utilized to construct this study.
