This study is bogus because they didn't analyze cause of death or account for the reason for using PPI.
H2 blockers and PPIs are often not prescribed for the same things. For many serious diseases PPIs are commonly prescribed as a secondary medication (eg with Plavix) where H2 blockers would make no sense. That's why the group sizes differ greatly.
