LID - 10.1099/jmm.0.001490 [doi] AB - Sequential therapy (ST) and concomitant therapy (CT) are common first-line treatments for Helicobacter pylori (HP). This study aimed to assess the efficiency and safety of ST and CT in the first-line treatment of HP by comparing their clinical outcomes. Two authors independently searched PubMed, EBSCO, Web of Science and the Cochrane Library for all the relevant articles published before March 2021 to compare the clinical outcomes of HP patients undergoing ST or CT. The primary outcome measures were HP eradication rates and adverse events (AEs). This meta-analysis included 24 articles with 7531 HP patients. CT was better than ST in eradicating HP from per-protocol analysis (PP) (RR=0.96, P<0.001) and modified intent-to-treat analysis (MITT) (RR=0.94, P=0.005). Compared with non-Asia, CT demonstrated more apparent advantages than ST in Asia. CT treated with lansoprazole, pantoprazole and esomeprazole outperformed ST treated with the same PPIs. CT for 10 days and ST for 14 days were the better choices of course of treatment. The incidence rates of AEs were significantly higher in CT than in ST for diarrhoea (RR=0.65, P<0.001), vomiting (RR=0.68, P=0.03), dysgeusia (RR=0.83, P=0.03) and dizziness (RR=0.77, P=0.05). Both ST and CT are safe and effective first-line treatments for HP. Although the AEs were more frequent with CT than ST, CT was superior to ST, especially in Asia. The effect of various PPIs varied in various therapies. The best course of treatment was 10 days for CT and 14 days for ST.
