Article Synopsis
- * A survey conducted across 19 facilities, involving 373 healthcare professionals, revealed that all units screened patients for SARS-CoV-2, but endoscopic procedures decreased by 44% due to safety protocols.
- * Personal protective equipment (PPE) was universally adopted, and daily risk assessments ensured no infections occurred among healthcare professionals, validating the Japan Gastroenterological Endoscopy Society's preventive recommendations.
Objective: Seven-day administration of omeprazole 40 mg/day + amoxicillin 1500 mg/day + clarithromycin 800 mg/day is currently approved in Japan for the eradication of Helicobacter pylori infection. We investigated the efficacy and safety of an omeprazole-based triple therapy regimen in combination with amoxicillin and low-dose clarithromycin in Japanese patients.
Methods: Patients were randomly assigned to either the low-dose group (omeprazole 40 mg/day + amoxicillin 1500 mg/day + clarithromycin 400 mg/day) or the high-dose group (omeprazole 40 mg/day + amoxicillin 1500 mg/day + clarithromycin 800 mg/day).
