Helicobacter pylori の三次除菌における除菌率に影響を与える因子の調査

抄録

Objective: The success rate of third-line treatment for Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection has been reported to depend on the use of antibacterial agents, potassium-competitive acid blockers, and proton pump inhibitors. However, there is insufficient information on the success rate of H. pylori treatment due to the differences in the clinically used drugs. Here, the factors influencing the success rate of third-line treatment for H. pylori infection was investigated.

Methods: Patients aged 20 years or older, who had received third-line treatment for H. pylori infection from January 2013 to December 2021 at the Kameda Medical Center were included. The exclusion criteria were as follows: patients with unknown treatment results and discontinuation of treatment. The primary endpoint was treatment success rate, based on the differences in the treatment regimen and drug choice, which was retroactively investigated from medical records. Confounding factors were adjusted by multivariate logistic regression analysis.

Results: Treatment regimens containing sitafloxacin resulted in higher treatment success rates (p<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the administration of sitafloxacin was the only statistically significant factor influencing treatment success. However, vonoprazan also tended to influence treatment success.

Conclusion: Treatment with sitafloxacin and vonoprazan increases the success rate of third-line treatment against H. pylori infection.
