Background. Helicobacter pylori (Hp) is a highly prevalent bacterium worldwide, however, it only causes pathology in a small percentage of cases. The indications for its eradication are described in the III and IV Spanish Consensus Conference on Helicobacter pylori (CEC Hp), yet, there is little information about the degree of compliance with them in clinical practice.
Mean objective. To quantify the percentage of adequacy to the clinical guidelines of the reason for starting a Helicobacter pylori diagnostic study, in those patients submitted to a urea breath test (TAU) at the Padre Manjón Specialty Center (Elda) during the years 2018 and 2019.
Material and methods. A descriptive, retrospective and observational study was carried out in which were included all those patients who underwent a TAU at the Padre Manjón Specialty Center during the years 2018 and 2019. Data on the indication for eradication treatment, treatment schemes and results of the subsequent breath test were recorded to verify its effectiveness.
Results. The compliance with the III CEC-HP for the indication for diagnostic study of Hp was 91,37% (n=434), with only 8,63% (n=41) being for reasons not considered. Among all patients, the most frequent indication was dyspepsia (43,16%) and among those not covered by the III CPB-HP was bariatric surgery (46,34%). Pylera® 10 and OCAM 14 were the most frequently prescribed first-line therapies for those not allergic to beta-lactams (36,39% and 32,39%) and those that achieved eradication rates closer to 90% (88,24% and 90,43%), with no significant differences between them (p>0,05). 70,13% of the prescribed therapies belong to the treatment algorithm, with only 34.28% being OCAM 14.
Conclusions. There is a high compliance with the III CPB-Hp for the indication for initiating a diagnostic study of Hp in our series, being correct in approximately 10 out of 11 patients. The most frequent indication was dyspepsia of any cause and the reason outside of III CEC-Hp is bariatric surgery. Of every 10 first-line treatments, 7 belong to the IV CEC-Hp treatment algorithm, with only 3 of them being the recommended therapy for the therapeutic step. OCAM 10 continues to be a very frequent first-line therapy, despite having been shown to be inferior to OCAM 14 and Pylera® 10, being these the most frequently prescribed drugs and those with the highest eradication rates, with no significant differences between them.
