Laine L, Hopkins RJ, Girardi LS: Has the impact of Helicobacter pylori therapy on ulcer recurrence in the United States been overstated? A meta-analysis of rigorously designed trials. Am J Gastroenterol 1998, 93:1409–1415. This meta-analysis showed that, in 20% of North American patients with duodenal ulcers not related to the use of NSAIDs, these ulcers are not apparently associated with H. pylori infection and do not heal with its eradication. These results indicate that non-H. pylori and non-NSAID ulcers may be more common than once thought.

Report from an important randomized, single-center, placebocontrolled study indicating a clear benefit in symptom relief to dyspeptic patients through treatment with omeprazole and antibiotics to eradicate infection.

Blum AL, Talley NJ, O'Morain C, et al.: Lack of effect of treating Helicobacter pylori infection in patients with nonulcer dyspepsia. N Engl J Med 1998, 339:1875–1881. Contrasting results from those of McColl et al. [10] from this carefully performed double-blinded, multicenter trial show that H. pylori eradication was not associated with treatment success.

Aliment Pharmacol Ther 1999, 13:289–295. Results from this important Canadian randomized study of two omeprazole triple therapies indicates that the drugs are safe and that 1-week regimens of both combinations result in eradication, healing, and relapse prevention.

Aliment Pharmacol Ther 1999, 13:703–712. This reported international study involved the same regimen of omeprazole triple therapy as that for Van Zanten et al. [18]. Likewise, regimens were proven safe and effective, with infrequent ulcer relapse.

Aliment Pharmacol Ther 1999, 13:719–729. A major meta-analysis of 1-week twice-daily triple therapies consisting of a proton pump inhibitor, clarithromycin, and amoxicillin or metronidazole. A higher dose of clarithromycin (500 mg vs 250 mg) appears to give superior eradication rates.

Aliment Pharmacol Ther 1999, 13:741–746. This Japanese study of 221 duodenal ulcer patients showed similar results with three different PPIs (omeprazole, lansoprazole, and rabeprazole).

Aliment Pharmacol Ther 1999, 13:775–780. Clarithromycin resistance reduces the effectiveness of combine therapy when administered along with lansoprazole, 30 mg, an amoxicillin, 1 g, from 83% to 20%, according to this report. As clarithromycin resistance becomes more prevalent, this will become an important clinical problem.

Aliment Pharmacol Ther 1998, 12:725–730. This Chinese study showed signficant ITT eradication rates with a combined treatment regimen.

Results from this study indicate that omeprazole was more effective in healing of gastric and duodenal ulcers than misoprostol, whereas misoprostol was more effective in patients with erosions alone.

These authors indicate that H. pylori infection may heighten risk of ulcer development in ulcer-naïve patients given NSAIDs.

Gastroenterology 1999, 117:11–16. This large study showed high overall healing rates of reflux esophagitis and relief of symptoms. H. pylori-positive patients also showed a high rate of healing and symptom relief.
