Study of Acid-related Disorders: Real-world Physician and Patient Perspectives on Burden of Helicobacter pylori Infection.

ABSTRACT:

Background and aims

Helicobacter pylori eradication rates have declined as antibiotic resistance rates have increased. In addition, adherence to treatment guidelines is suboptimal. It is therefore important that contemporary, real-world evidence of diagnostic and treatment patterns is explored and compared with evidence-based guidelines. The Study of Acid-Related Disorders investigated unmet needs among patients with H pylori infection and past or current dyspepsia.

Methods

Gastroenterologists (GIs) and family physicians (FPs) or general practitioners (GPs) treating patients with H pylori infection and past or current dyspepsia completed a physician survey and invited patients to complete a patient survey; data were also extracted from the medical record
