Core Tip	Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection is highly prevalent in Chinese regions and associated with peptic ulcers. Currently, triple and sequential therapies have been widely used to eradicate H. pylori. Nonbismuth concomitant quadruple therapy is an alternative treatment with high efficacy. Our meta-analysis revealed that a higher H. pylori eradication rate was achieved with 7-d concomitant therapy than with 7-d triple therapy. The eradication rates of concomitant and sequential therapies were similar. However, the compliance with concomitant therapy was higher. Therefore, nonbismuth concomitant quadruple therapy should be the first-line treatment for H. pylori infection.
