Helicobacter pylori eradication does not cause reflux oesophagitis in functional dyspeptic patients: a randomized, investigator‐blinded, placebo‐controlled trial

Abstract: SUMMARYBackground: The protective role of Helicobacter pylori in gastro-oesophageal reflux disease has been widely discussed. Aim: To assess the risk of reflux oesophagitis in patients with functional dyspepsia after treatment for H. pylori infection. Methods: A randomized, placebo-controlled, investigator-blinded trial was carried out on 157 functional dyspeptic patients. Patients were randomized to receive lansoprazole, amoxicillin and clarithromycin (antibiotic group) or lansoprazole and identical antibioti… Show more

“…H. pylori eradication does not cause refl ux esophagitis in Western patients with functional dyspepsia ( 41,42 ). In Japanese health examinees, however, development of refl ux esophagitis was more common in patients cured of H. pylori than in patients positive for H. pylori ( 43 ).…”

“…H. pylori eradication could therefore explain part of the increase in the prevalence of reflux esophagitis as hypochlorhydria subsides. Although it has been described that among patients without an H. pylori infection reflux esophagitis is more common [17], evidence is inconclusive and contradicting results have been reported on whether eradication itself could cause reflux esophagitis [13,14,15,16]. More studies are required to investigate the true association between infection with H. pylori and esophagitis.…”

“…Studies were carried out in different subgroups (DU, GERD, functional dyspepsia) of patients (11)(12)(13)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24), and results obtained were controversial. Labenz et al reported a signifi cant increase in the incidence of erosive esophagitis during three years in H. pylori-eradicated vs. noneradicated DU patients (7).…”
