Eradication of <i>Helicobacter pylori</i> Does Not Reduce the Incidence of Gastroduodenal Ulcers in Patients on Long‐term NSAID Treatment: Double‐Blind, Randomized, Placebo‐Controlled Trial

Abstract

H. pylori eradication therapy in patients on long-term NSAID treatment had no beneficial effect on the occurrence of ulcers, erosions, or dyspepsia. Ulcer rates in both study arms are remarkably low, in both patients with and without gastroprotective therapy.
