Article Synopsis
- This meta-analysis examined the effectiveness and safety of potassium-competitive acid blockers (PCABs) against proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) in treating gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), analyzing data from 11 randomized controlled trials.
- Findings indicated that PCABs were significantly better than PPIs in healing erosive esophagitis, although their advantage in fully resolving heartburn symptoms wasn't statistically significant.
- The study concluded that while PCABs showed superior efficacy and a similar safety profile to PPIs, further research is needed to explore the long-term safety of PCABs and their effectiveness in non-erosive reflux disease.
