Project description:BackgroundSerum pepsinogen (PG) is recommended as a screening test for premalignant gastric lesions. However, real-world evidence demonstrating its applicability and equivalence between different test brands is limited.MethodsMass screening began in 2018 in a high-risk Taiwanese population after eradication of Helicobacter pylori, with the first stage of two PG tests (GastroPanel®, Helsinki, Finland and LZ-Test®, Tokyo, Japan) and the second stage of endoscopy. A positive test was defined as PG-I < 30 ng/mL or PG-I/II ratio < 3 for GastroPanel® and PG-I ≤ 70 ng/mL and PG-I/II ratio ≤ 3 for LZ-Test®. Index lesions included atrophic gastritis and intestinal metaplasia. Test performance was evaluated based on the participation rate, positivity rate, referral rate, positive predictive value (PPV), and the detection rate.ResultsAmong 7616 eligible participants, 5117 (67.2%) received PG tests and 284 (5.6%) tested positive. Of those who tested positive, 105 (37.0%) underwent endoscopy. Overall PPVs for atrophic gastritis and intestinal metaplasia were 12.4% and 18.9%, respectively, with detection rates of 2.5 and 3.9 per 1000, respectively. Correlations of numerical measures between tests were high and the agreements of test results were substantial. The PPVs (16.3% vs. 16.3% and 23.8% vs. 21.3%, P = 1.00 and 0.71, respectively), detection rates (2.5 vs. 2.5 and 3.7 vs. 3.3 per 1000, P = 1.00 and 0.27, respectively), and the stage distributions of gastritis were all comparable, which were confirmed by multiple regression analyses.ConclusionsPG testing is effective for mass screening after eradication of H. pylori. Tests from different manufacturers, even using different analytical methods and cutoff criteria, can perform equivalently.

Project description:BackgroundIncreasing prevalence of antibiotic resistance especially to clarithromycin and metronidazole has been observed in Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori).AimTo characterize the antimicrobial resistance pattern of H. pylori before and after treatment in a cohort of patients accumulated over a period of 15 years after an unsuccessful eradication treatment had been given comparing sensitivity data from patients with newly diagnosed H. pylori infection. A specific objective was to look for resistance to levofloxacin.Material and methodsTotal of 50 patients newly diagnosed for H. pylori infection treated with omeprazole and amoxicillin/clarithromycin and 42 H pylori treatment-resistant patients treated with omeprazole and amoxicillin/levofloxacin were enrolled in this study. Cultures including antibiotic sensitivity testing were conducted according to standard laboratory routines and thus also in keeping with a European study protocol using E-test gradient strips or disc diffusion methods.ResultsClarithromycin resistance was more frequently observed in the H. pylori resistant group than in newly diagnosed H. pylori group (39% versus 11%). Regarding metronidazole the distribution was 70% versus 38%, and 8% versus 12% were resistant to tetracycline. No resistance was observed for amoxicillin. After re-treatment of patients belonging to the H. pylori treatment-resistant group, just two patient strains were recovered of which one harbored metronidazole resistance. In the group of newly diagnosed H. pylori, seven patients were culture positive by control after treatment. Two and three patient strains showing resistance to clarithromycin and metronidazole, respectively. None of the strains in our material was classified as resistant to amoxicillin and levofloxacin. Whereas 12% was resistant to tetracycline in the newly diagnosed before treatment.ConclusionClarithromycin resistance was more frequent in the H. pylori treatment-resistant group than strains from patients with newly diagnosed H. pylori infection. No resistance was observed to amoxicillin and levofloxacin. In such cases Therefore levofloxacin may be used provided in vitro sensitivity testing confirms applicability.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT05019586.

Project description:Eradicating Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) can cause an imbalance in the microbiota. Dysbiosis of the gut microbiome may produce multiple diseases and bacterial infections. The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection and its eradication on the composition of the oral tongue coating microbiota. A cohort of 35 participants was recruited and categorized into two groups: the H. pylori negative group (N group) consisting of 12 individuals and the H. pylori positive group (23 individuals). Within the H. pylori positive group, subjects were further stratified into the H. pylori pre-eradicated group (HPQ group) and the H. pylori eradicated group (HPH group). H. pylori positive individuals were treated with a quadruple regimen containing bismuth, and tongue coating samples were collected both prior to and following treatment. Concurrently, tongue coating samples were collected from H. pylori negative individuals. High-throughput 16S rRNA sequencing technology was employed to assess the microbial composition of the tongue coating in the N group, HPQ group, and HPH group. Pertinent clinical data were documented.Microbial diversity was found to significantly differ among the N group, HPQ group, and HPH group, as evidenced by variations in Chao1 index, Shannon index, and Partial Least Squares Discriminant Analysis (PLS-DA). The dominant bacterial phyla identified across all groups included Bacteroidetes, Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, Fusobacteria, Actinobacteria, and Saccharibacteria. At the phylum level, Firmicutes exhibited higher relative abundance in the HPQ group in comparison to both the N group and HPH group. Conversely, Bacteroidetes displayed greater prevalence in the N group and HPH group. Linear Discriminant Analysis Effect Size (LEfSe) analysis indicated a higher abundance of Romboutsia, Rothia, and Turiciactor in the HPQ group. Our study revealed significant disparities in microbial diversity and richness among the three groups. Furthermore, our findings suggest a potential association between the presence of Streptococcus, Rothia and H. pylori positive individuals.

Project description:BackgroundHelicobacter pylori infection increases the risk of stomach cancer; therefore, eradication therapy is recommended for infected individuals. Although several methods are recommended for the diagnosis and therapy of H. pylori infection, their frequency and effectiveness have not been fully investigated in Japan.MethodsA nationwide claims database including >1.6 million patients (April 2008 - -October 2016) in Japan was utilized. We analyzed the distribution of methods for H. pylori diagnosis and therapy, waiting period between eradication and diagnostic test, and success rate of primary therapy.ResultsData for 481,041 patients were extracted. After primary eradication therapy, urea breath test was used for >80% of diagnoses, and antibody measurement for 0.7%. The success rate of primary eradication was >80% for most diagnostic methods and 69.0% for antibody measurement; inappropriately-timed antibody measurement may have contributed to this disparity. The overall success rate of eradication therapy decreased from 2011 to 2014, but increased from 2015, coinciding with launch of the potassium-competitive acid blocker vonoprazan, which showed a higher success rate of eradication than proton-pump inhibitors.ConclusionsDiagnostic tests of H. pylori infection mostly followed Japanese Society for Helicobacter Research guidance, although some antibody measurements were timed inappropriately. Vonoprazan appears to increase the success rate of primary therapy.

Project description:Background/aimsTegoprazan, a new, fast, and strong potassium-competitive acid blocker, has been approved for the treatment of gastric acid-related diseases in Korea. However, real-world clinical data regarding this drug are scarce. We aimed to compare the Helicobacter pylori eradication rates of tegoprazan- and rabeprazole-based triple therapy.MethodsWe retrospectively reviewed data from patients who received first-line treatment for H. pylori infection using tegoprazan- or rabeprazole-based triple therapy for 2 weeks (50 mg tegoprazan or 20 mg rabeprazole+1,000 mg amoxicillin+500 mg clarithromycin twice daily). The primary endpoint was the eradication rate as determined by intention-to-treat analysis.ResultsOf the 677 patients included in our study, 344 and 333 received tegoprazan-based and rabeprazole-based triple therapy, respectively. The eradication rate from intention-to-treat analysis was 76.7% (95% confidence interval [CI], 72.1% to 81.0%) for tegoprazan-based triple therapy and 75.4% (95% CI, 70.5% to 79.8%) for rabeprazole-based triple therapy. There was no significant difference in the eradication rates between the two groups (p>0.999). Per-protocol analysis also revealed no significant difference between the eradication rates of the two groups (tegoprazan 83.4% [95% CI, 79.0% to 87.2%] vs rabeprazole 83.5% [79.0% to 87.4%], p>0.999). Furthermore, there was no significant difference in adverse event rates between the two groups (tegoprazan, 27.6%; rabeprazole, 25.8%; p=0.604).ConclusionsThe eradication rate of tegoprazan-based triple therapy was similar to that of rabeprazole-based triple therapy. Further studies on the dose-escalation effect of tegoprazan for H. pylori eradication and the efficacy of tegoprazan in regimens other than conventional triple therapy are needed.

Project description:Background & aimsHelicobacter pylori infects approximately 50% of individuals worldwide. Successful H pylori eradication is associated with reduced risk of gastric cancer and peptic ulcer disease, among other conditions. We hypothesized that host genetic determinants, especially those affecting gastric pH, might contribute to eradication therapy failure, particularly when treatment adherence and antibiotic susceptibility are confirmed. We aimed to conduct a meta-analysis of host genetic variants associated with H pylori eradication failure.MethodsWe searched the literature for studies comparing posttreatment H pylori eradication failure vs success (outcome) according to host genetic polymorphisms (exposure). Reference groups were defined according to genotypes (or corresponding phenotypes) hypothesized to be associated with successful eradication. We pooled estimates using a random-effects model and performed comprehensive sensitivity analyses.ResultsWe analyzed 57 studies from 11 countries; the vast majority analyzed CYP2C19 polymorphisms. Among individuals prescribed eradication regimens with proton pump inhibitors predominantly CYP2C19 metabolized, enhanced vs poor metabolizer phenotypes were associated with a 2.52-fold significantly higher likelihood of eradication failure and 4.44-fold significantly higher likelihood when treatment adherence and H pylori clarithromycin susceptibility (if relevant) were confirmed. There was no association between CYP2C19 variants and eradication failure if proton pump inhibitors less metabolized by or that bypass CYP2C19 metabolism were used. IL1B polymorphisms that are vs are not associated with less gastric acid suppression were associated with 1.72-fold significantly higher likelihood of eradication failure. There was no association between MDR1 polymorphisms and H pylori eradication failure. The certainty of evidence was moderate.ConclusionBased on meta-analysis, we identified host genetic polymorphisms significantly associated with H pylori eradication failure; host genetics might underlie eradication failure among treatment-adherent individuals with confirmed H pylori antibiotic susceptibility.

Project description:BackgroundEradication of Helicobacter pylori infection with standard triple therapy has been accepted to curb associated risks of chronic gastritis andpeptic ulcer disease.ObjectiveTo assess H. pylori eradication rate of standard triple therapy and patient related factors affecting eradication rate.MethodsA facility based prospective follow up study was conducted in Bahir Dar City Administration, Ethiopia, on consented outpatients presented with gastritis and peptic ulcer disease and positive for H. pylori stool antigen test from May 2016 to April 2018. Eradication was confirmed with stool antigen test made after 4-6 weeks of standard triple therapy, comprising of proton pump inhibitor, clarithromycin and amoxicillin. Pre-developed questionnaire and data collection formats were used to collect variables before and after therapy. Bivariate and backward stepwise multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze data. P-value < 0.05 at 95%CI was considered as significant.ResultsThe overall H. pylori eradication rate was 90.3% (379/421). Almost 80% of the patients were urban residents. Mean (±SD) age and body weight of patients were 30.63 (± 10.74) years and 56.79 (± 10.17) kg, respectively. Self-reported adverse drug effects and area of residence of patients were factors affecting eradication rate significantly. Patients with no self-reported adverse drug effect were 3.85 (AOR: 3.85; 95%CI (1.41-5.26)) times more likely to eradicate H. pylori infection compared to those reported adverse effects. Patients living in rural area were 2.7 (AOR: 2.7; 95%CI (1.19-20.0)) times more likely to achieve eradication compared to urban residents.ConclusionH. pylori eradication rate is within the recommended level for clinical practice, indicating that modifications of the standard triple therapy observed in the different healthcare institutions are not evidence-based. Emphasis should be given to adverse drug effects of medications and tailored counseling based on area of residence could have a contribution in improving eradication rate.

Project description:A high rate of resistance (49.5 to 72.7%) to amoxicillin (AMX) was observed in Helicobacter pylori after two or three unsuccessful eradication attempts. Unsuccessful eradication regimens significantly increase resistance to not only clarithromycin (CLR) and metronidazole (MNZ) but also AMX.

Project description:Aims/introductionIt is suspected that Helicobacter pylori is associated with extradigestive diseases including diabetes. So far, a number of studies have examined the association between H. pylori and diabetes, and the results were conflicting. The aim of the present study was to examine the association between H. pylori infection, eradication and diabetes.Materials and methodsThe present cross-sectional study was carried out using data from annual health checkups carried out at the Toranomon Hospital Health Management Center. The status of H. pylori infection, determined by serum antibodies and history of eradication, was categorized into three groups as "never," "current" and "past." The association between H. pylori infection and diabetes was examined using logistic regression.ResultsOf 21,634 participants, 6,530 (30.2%) had a current or past history of H. pylori infection, and 1,184 (5.5%) were identified as having diabetes. Multivariate adjusted odds ratios for diabetes compared with the "never" group were 1.36 (95% confidence interval 1.10-1.67) for the "current" group and 0.92 (95% confidence interval 0.79-1.07) for the "past" group. The association between H. pylori infection and diabetes was also observed among participants without a history of eradication.ConclusionsWe found that current H. pylori infection was associated with an increased risk of diabetes, and the increased risk was not observed among participants after eradication. The results were concordant with the hypothesis that H. pylori infection increases the risk of diabetes. Further studies are necessary to validate the present results.

Project description:BackgroundHelicobacter pylori (Hp) eradication has been used for many years. Yet, the impact of this eradication on the normal gastric microflora is not well understood. In this study, we explored the effect of eradication on the stomach microbial community and its recovery after successful Hp eradication.MethodsAmong the 89 included patients, 23, 17, 40, and 9 were included in the Hp-negative, Hp-positive, successful eradication, and failed eradication groups, respectively. Four subgroups were further determined according to disease status (Hp-negative chronic gastritis [N-CG], Hp-negative atrophic gastritis [N-AG], successful-eradication chronic gastritis [SE-CG], and atrophic gastritis with successful eradication [SE-AG]). During the endoscopic examination, one piece of gastric mucosa tissue was obtained from the lesser curvature side of the gastric antrum and gastric corpus, respectively. In addition, 16S rDNA gene sequencing was used to analyze the gastric mucosal microbiome.ResultsIn the Hp-negative group, the gastric microbiota was dominated by five phyla: Firmicutes, Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, Bacteroidetes, and Fusobacteria. After successfully eradicating Hp, the bacterial flora in the stomach recovered to a considerable extent. In the failed eradication group, the flora was similar to the flora in Hp-positive subjects based on the alpha and beta diversities. Among the groups, Curvibacter and Acinetobacter were enriched in the presence of Hp (i.e., failed eradication and Hp-positive groups), suggesting that these two genera could be used as biomarkers in the symbiotic flora in the presence of Hp. SE-CG was characterized by an increase in Firmicutes taxa and a decrease in Proteobacteria taxa compared with N-CG. SE-AG was characterized by a decrease in Firmicutes relative to N-AG. Finally, no differences were found in the pairwise comparisons of nitrate and nitrite reductase functions of the microflora among the four subgroups.ConclusionsAfter Hp infection, the diversity and relative abundance of gastric microflora were significantly decreased. Yet, gastric microbiota could be partially restored to the Hp-negative status after eradication. Still, this effect was incomplete and might contribute to the long-term risks.
