Abstract

Helicobacter pylori eradication rates achieved with clarithromycin-based triple therapies are declining due to antibiotic resistance, but data regarding temporal changes in efficacy with these eradication therapies are scarce. To evaluate the efficacy of clarithromycin-based triple eradication regimens over time. A comprehensive literature review and time-trend analysis. Bibliographies of recently published systematic literature reviews were searched and supplemented with a targeted literature review conducted using Medline and Embase databases and ProQuest from conception to May 2021. Studies reporting H. pylori eradication rates of clarithromycin-based triple therapies were included and temporal trends were estimated using a random-effects model. Eradication rates for triple therapies containing proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), clarithromycin, and amoxicillin showed a significant decline over the past 23 years (p = 0.0315). However, this decline was not significant when eradication rates achieved with vonoprazan-based triple therapy were included (p = 0.3910). Vonoprazan-based triple therapy partially mitigated the decline in eradication rates seen with PPI-based triple therapy, likely due to more powerful acid suppression of vonoprazan.
