H pylori eradication in patients with peptic ulcer disease.
H pylori eradication in patients with peptic ulcer disease.
Reference Fendrick, M.D., A. Mark, McCort, M.D., Jane T., et al. However, patients with a previous history of peptic ulcer disease have usually been managed with ongoing anti-secretory therapy. The role of eradication therapy for H. pylori in this large group has not been studied. The patients had not received previous diagnostic testing or eradication treatment for H. pylori infection, and were assumed to be asymptomatic on maintenance anti-secretory therapy. This is a well thought out cost-effectiveness analysis.
