The prevalence of Helicobacter pylori infection in patients receiving long-term H2-receptor antagonists in general practice: clinical and financial consequences of eradication using omeprazole plus amoxycillin or "triple therapy".
The data from randomised controlled trials of H pylori eradication therapy (triple therapy plus acid suppressing medicine or amoxycillin plus omeprazole) has been subjected to a meta-analysis for the dichotomous outcomes of H pylori eradication, ulcer healing at 6-10 weeks and ulcers remaining cured at one year.
