Abstract
The efficacy of Helicobacter pylori eradication varies in different regions. Lower success rates of therapy are observed in medical personnel.
The aim: to analyze the results of H. pylori treatment in residents of Trans-Baikal territory, as well as in the professional community of health workers (HW) of this region.
Material and methods. 148 H. pylori-infected individuals were surveyed about their readiness to undergo anti-Helicobacter treatment. Eradication was performed in 133 of them – 67 HW and 66 non-health workers (NW). For 14 days, were used regimens that included a proton pump inhibitor (PPI), bismuth tripotassium dicitrate (B) and three combinations of antibiotics: clarithromycin and amoxicillin (PPI-BCA; n = 111), tetracycline and metronidazole (PPI-BTM; n = 9), levofloxacin and amoxicillin (PPI-BLA) as second-line therapy (n = 13) in recommended doses. H. pylori was diagnosed by determining the antigen in feces using immunochromatographic analysis. Eradication control was performed 6–8 weeks after the end of the treatment.
Results. In the questionnaire, 74.3% of HWs and 89.2% of NWs expressed their willingness to undergo eradication (p = 0.020). The treatment regimen was violated by 11 people, of whom H. pylori was eradicated only in 18.2%. When the treatment regimen was followed, the eradication efficacy was 76.0% with PPI-BCA, 44.4% with PPI-BTM, and 92.3% with PPI-BLA. The efficacy of all regimens was 64.9% for HWs and 84.6% for NWs (p = 0.012). The probability of effect absence among physicians was 2.97 times higher (odds ratio 2.973; 95% confidence interval: 1.251–7.068; p = 0.012). Adverse events developed against the background of PPI-VCA in 78.6% of MR and 56.7% of NR (p = 0.022), against the background of PPI-VLA – in 62.5 and 0% (p = 0.119), respectively.
Conclusion. PPI-BCA and PPI-BLA regimens for H. pylori eradication among residents of Trans-Baikal territory who are not involved in medical activities exceed the minimum level of efficacy and can be recommended for use in the region. The probability of failure of therapy in MW is 2.97 times higher. The worst result was obtained when using PPI-BTM (44.4%).
