Abstract

BACKGROUND: () infection is a major global health concern, linked to gastric cancer and metabolic disorders. Despite its widespread prevalence, accurate risk stratification remains challenging. This study aims to develop a machine learning (ML)-based risk prediction model using 6-year longitudinal Urea Breath Test (UBT) data to identify metabolic alterations associated with chronic infection.
