Abstract
To investigate the effect of a social media platform for the treatment of Helicobacter pylori infection. We enrolled 222 patients from October 2018 to June 2019, who required Hpylori therapy. We used WeChat, a social media platform, as a patient reminder tool. They were randomly divided into the intervention and control groups (n=111 per group) to compare and evaluate their disease awareness, medication adherence, incidence of adverse drug reactions, and Hpylori eradication rate. Patients in the intervention group had significantly better disease-related knowledge, medication adherence, and Hpylori eradication rates than those in the control group (P<.05). Using a social media platform may improve treatment rates of Hpylori infection.
