- Abstract
- Proton pump inhibitor (PPI)-based therapy is standard to eradicate Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori). Gastric acidity is lowered after gastrectomy because of bile reflux and impaired mechanism of acid secretion. Therefore, low-dose PPI may be effective for H. pylori eradication in the remnant stomach after gastrectomy. In this study, we compared the efficacy of low-dose PPI with standard double-dose PPI to eradicate H. pylori in patients who underwent subtotal gastrectomy. A total of 145 patients who were treated for eradication after gastrectomy was analyzed. They were treated with PPI-based triple regimen (PPI, clarithromycin and amoxicillin) for 14 days. We compared the eradication rate in the low-dose PPI group (lansoprazole 15 mg once daily) with that in the standard double-dose PPI group (lansoprazole 30 mg twice daily). The H. pylori eradication rate was 79.1% in the low-dose PPI group and 85.3% in the standard double-dose group; the difference was not significant statistically (p = 0.357). In the multivariate analysis, low-dose PPI (odds ratio (OR) = 1.79, 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.68-4.69) was not associated with eradication failure, while Billroth II anastomosis (OR = 4.45, 85% CI, 1.23-16.2) was significantly associated with eradication failure. Low-dose PPI-based triple regimen was as effective as standard double-dose PPI-based regimen for H. pylori eradication in patients with subtotal gastrectomy. Further study is needed to confirm the effect of low-dose PPI on H. pylori eradication in patients with gastrectomy.
