PG - 624-8 AB - BACKGROUND/AIMS: Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) eradication therapy increases acid secretion and promotes the development of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and reflux esophagitis (RE). Rebound acid hypersecretion develops after the use of proton pump inhibitors (PPI). We examined the clinical necessity of acid inhibitors to prevent GERD or RE caused by PPI rebound phenomenon and prior H. pylori eradication therapy. METHODOLOGY: We enrolled 39 patients who underwent successful H. pylori eradication therapy prior to endoscopic mucosal resection of gastric cancer. After 8-week rabeprazole treatment for iatrogenic ulcer, they were randomly divided into two groups (who took nizatidine (group N) and sofalcone (group S)), and took each for 16 weeks, we compared RE/GERD symptoms with the baseline by endoscopy and QUEST score. RESULTS: All patients had corpus atrophy in which there was no difference between the two groups. Only 1 patient in group S (5.9%) developed symptomatic GERD, and 1 patient in group N (4.5%) developed RE. CONCLUSIONS: In severe atrophic gastritis patients, there is little clinical necessity of acid inhibitors to prevent GERD/RE caused by PPI rebound and prior H. pylori eradication therapy.
