Abstract
Our objectives were to define treatment success, compliance, and side effects for treatment of Helicobacter pylori in clinical practice. In all, 224 consecutive patients received Helicobacter pylori treatment: 97 received two weeks of bismuth subsalicylate, metronidazole, tetracycline four times a day with a H2-receptor antagonist twice a day (BMT); 89 received one week of metronidazole, lansoprazole, and clarithromycin twice a day (MLC); and 38 received one week of BMT with lansoprazole twice a day (BMT-PPI). Cure rates were: BMT 81% (95% CI 74-89%), MLC 90% (95% CI 84-96%) BMT-PPI 87% (95% CI 81-92%). More patients prescribed a bismuth-based regimen discontinued medications due to side effects compared to MLC (P = 0.049). Nausea was more common for BMT compared to MLC (P = 0.04). In conclusion, treatment of Helicobacter pylori infection with a one-week course of MLC achieves a high rate of cure in clinical practice. Significantly fewer patients prescribed PPI-based therapy discontinue medications due to side effects as compared to bismuth-based triple therapy.Entities:
