ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the relationship between helicobacter pylori(HP)eradication and curative effect of gastroe-sophageal reflux disease(GERD) .Methods Two hundred and fifty four patients with GERD were prospectively recruited for endo-scope and acid reflux evaluation .According to the results of gastroscope ,the eligible patients were divided into non-erosive reflux disease (NERD) and erosive esophagitis (EE) group ,and each divided into HP positive and HP negative group ,the HP positive group were randomly divided into the anti HP treatment group and not .These patients were assigned to rabeprazole triple therapy (the anti HP treatment group) or rabeprazole(20 mg ,twice per day) single(other groups) for 10 d ,then rabeprazole (20mg ,twice per day) was given to all patients until two months .Then all patients underwent acid reflux evaluation ,EE group underwent endos-copy ,and all patients underwent a 13 C urea breath test 4 weeks after cessation of rabeprazole to determine HP status .Results One hundred and seventy nine GERD patients were included in the study(NERD group 119 cases ,including anti HP treatment group 47 cases ,not anti HP treatment group 32 cases ,HP negative group 40 cases ;EE group 60 cases ,including anti HP treatment group 24 cases ,not anti HP treatment group 15 cases ,HP negative group 21 cases) .HP was eradicated in 76 .6% of the NERD anti HP treatment group and in 75 .0% of the EE anti HP treatment group .Overall ,there is no difference between the anti HP treatment group and other groups on these aspects ,including symptom、esophagitis and acid reflux improvement .Conclusion There are no significant correlation between HP eradication and GERD .
