Read the detailed description

This is a single-institute retrospective study comparing the efficacy of WeChat-based patient education and conventional patient education in the management of Helicobacter pylori eradication. We identified all patients aged between 18-75 years old and had been prescribed a 14-day course of bismuth-contained quadruple therapy for H. pylori infection in our outpatient clinics between 1 July 2019 and 31 July 2021. H. pylori infection was confirmed by any two positive outcomes of rapid urease test,13C-urea breath test (UBT) and histopathology. Patients who had H. pylori therapy history, using other therapeutic regimens or unwilling to take prescribed medications were excluded. Demographic data, treatment regimens, outcomes of therapy, adherence to therapy and adverse event were retrieved. The main indicator is eradication rate, as the secondary indicators are compliance and adverse events.

    Six weeks after completion of treatment,numbers of patients get H.pylori eradicated supported by negative 13C-UBT results will be investigated by an independent researcher.Then eradication rate in each group will be calculated by using intention-to-treat analysis and per-protocol analysis.

    Measured: 2 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. compliance

    compliance was evaluated by assessing the total pills patients have taken.Compliance was defined as good when more than 80% or less than 120% of the total pills were taken.

    Measured: 14 days
