Article Synopsis
- - The study explores the link between continuous use of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and the risk of acute gastroenteritis (AGE) during winter when viral infections are most common.
- - Researchers conducted a matched cohort study using data from community pharmacies in France, comparing 233,596 PPI users with 626,887 non-users to see how many experienced AGE episodes.
- - Results indicated that 1.3% of PPI users and 0.7% of non-users experienced at least one episode of AGE, suggesting a potential increased risk for those on PPI therapy.
Background: This study compares an algorithm to detect acute gastroenteritis (AG) episodes from drug dispensing data to the validated data reported in a primary care surveillance system in France.
Methods: We used drug dispensing data collected in a drugstore database and data collected by primary care physicians involved in a French surveillance network, from season 2014/15 to 2016/17. We used an adapted version of an AG discrimination algorithm to identify AG episodes from the drugstore database.
