Background: We previously showed rising primary antibiotic resistance of Helicobacter pylori during 1990–2015 in the Asia-Pacific region. However, whether primary antibiotic resistance continues to rise is unknown. Therefore, we aimed to assess the latest prevalence of H pylori antibiotic resistance in this region. Methods: We did an updated systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies and randomised controlled trials published in PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library between Jan 1, 1990, and July 12, 2023. Studies investigating primary H pylori resistance to clarithromycin, metronidazole, levofloxacin, amoxicillin, or tetracycline in individuals naive to eradication therapy in the Asia-Pacific region (as defined by the UN geoscheme) were eligible for inclusion. There were no language restrictions. Studies that focused on specific subpopulations (eg, children) were excluded. Using a standardised extraction form, two authors independently reviewed and extracted summary data from all eligible articles. The updated prevalence of antibiotic resistance was generated by meta-analysis under a random-effects model and subgroup analyses were done by countries and periods of study. Between-study variability was assessed by use of I2. The study is registered in PROSPERO, CRD42022339956. Findings: A total of 351 studies, including 175 new studies and 176 studies from our previous analysis, were included in this meta-analysis. The overall prevalence of primary antibiotic resistance of H pylori between 1990 and 2022 was 22 (95 CI 20–23; I2=96) for clarithromycin, 52 (49–55; I2=99) for metronidazole, 26 (24–29; I2=96) for levofloxacin, 4 (3–5; I2=95) for tetracycline, and 4 (3–5; I2=95) for amoxicillin. Prevalence varied considerably between countries and across study periods. From 1990 to 2022, the prevalence of primary resistance increased for clarithromycin, metronidazole, and levofloxacin but remained stable for amoxicillin and tetracycline. The latest primary resistance prevalences were 30 (95 CI 28–33; I2=93) for clarithromycin, 61 (55–66; I2=99) for metronidazole, 35 (31–39; I2=95) for levofloxacin, 4 (2–6; I2=96) for tetracycline, and 6 (4–8; I2=96) for amoxicillin in the Asia-Pacific region. Interpretation: Treatment guidelines should be adapted in response to the rising primary resistance of key antibiotics for H pylori eradication. A global policy to control and monitor the antibiotic resistance of H pylori is urgently needed.
