摘要

BACKGROUND: There are concerns about the safety and possible high costs of ongoing proton pump inhibitor therapy of empirical management strategies for patients with persistent dyspeptic symptoms. AIM: To compare the long-term results of two treatment strategies: empirical treatment followed by the Helicobacter pylori test and treat strategy (treat and test group) and prompt upper gastrointestinal endoscopy followed by directed medical treatment (endoscopy group). METHODS: In this study we describe the long-term follow-up data from a previously published randomized clinical trial. At least 6 years after randomization all participating general practitioners and patients were asked to give information about medication use, diagnostic testing, symptoms and quality of life by questionnaire. RESULTS: Information about a total of 77 out of the 80 patients initially included (96%) was retrieved. Overall, 16 patients from the treat and test group (41%) underwent 18 diagnostic investigations. The 34 patients (100%) from the endoscopy group underwent 38 investigations (P < 0.01). The number of patients of the treat and test group and endoscopy group using acid inhibition therapy was 15 (38%) and 19 (56%), respectively (P = 0.14). There were also no differences in symptom prevalence and quality of life between the groups. CONCLUSIONS: Treat and test management for patients with dyspeptic symptoms is safe and does not lead to additional diagnostic testing or use of medication when compared to prompt endoscopy.
