Hameed H, Hussain J, Cláudia Paiva-Santos A, Zaman M, Hamza A, Sajjad I, Asad F. Comprehensive insights on treatment modalities with conventional and herbal drugs for the treatment of duodenal ulcers. NAUNYN-SCHMIEDEBERG'S ARCHIVES OF PHARMACOLOGY 2024:10.1007/s00210-024-03178-5. [PMID: 38837070 DOI: 10.1007/s00210-024-03178-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/18/2024] [Accepted: 05/21/2024] [Indexed: 06/06/2024]
Abstract
Areas of the body accessible to gastric secretions, such as the stomach and duodenum, are most commonly damaged by circumscribed lesions of the upper gastrointestinal tract mucosa. Peptic ulcer disease is the term for this illness (PUD). About 80% of peptic ulcers are duodenal ulcers, with stomach ulcers accounting for the remaining 20%. Duodenal ulcers are linked to the two primary results about Helicobacter pylori infection and COX inhibitor users. Additional causes might include drinking, smoking, stress, and coffee consumption. The indications and symptoms of a duodenal ulcer depend on the patient's age and the lesion's location. For duodenal ulcers, proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are the usual course of treatment. This comprehensive study included an in-depth literature search in the literature and methods section using electronic databases such as PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar. The search method included publications published from the inception of the relevant database to the present. Inclusion criteria included studies investigating different treatment options for duodenal ulcer disease, including traditional pharmacotherapy and naturopathic treatments. Data mining includes information on treatment techniques, treatment outcomes, and possible synergies between conventional and herbal treatments. In addition, this review critically examines the available information on the effectiveness, safety, and possible side effects of different treatments. The inclusion of conventional and herbal treatments is intended to provide a comprehensive overview of the many treatment options available for duodenal ulcer disease. A more comprehensive and personalized treatment plan can be achieved by incorporating dietary changes, lifestyle modifications, and, if necessary, herbal therapies to complement other treatments normally.

Sainz Á, García-Sancho M, Villaescusa A, Rodríguez-Franco F, Díaz-Regañón D, Olmeda P, Marks SL. Prevalence and appropriateness of omeprazole prescription in dogs at a veterinary teaching hospital before and after the publication of the ACVIM consensus statement on the rational administration of gastrointestinal protectants. Front Vet Sci 2024; 11:1352496. [PMID: 38774912 PMCID: PMC11107090 DOI: 10.3389/fvets.2024.1352496] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/08/2023] [Accepted: 04/18/2024] [Indexed: 05/24/2024] Open
Abstract
Introduction Overprescribing of acid suppressants is a common phenomenon in human and small animal patients, leading to potential deleterious gastrointestinal (GI) and non-GI consequences. The impact of consensus statements on veterinary prescribing habits in clinical practice have not been fully evaluated. This study aimed to compare the prescribing habits of the proton pump inhibitor (PPI), omeprazole, in dogs in an academic veterinary teaching hospital before and after the publication of the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine (ACVIM) consensus statement on rational use of gastrointestinal protectants. Methods Evaluation of the prescribing habits of omeprazole in dogs during the years 2017 and 2021 was retrospectively compared. These years were selected to reflect a 12-month period prior to and following the publication of the consensus statement. One hundred dogs from each year were randomly selected. Dose, frequency of administration, duration of treatment, concurrent prescription of more than one gastroprotectant and indications for prescribing omeprazole were analyzed. Results A significant increase in the cases that received omeprazole q12h (p < 0.0001) or that underwent a tapering dose after ≥4 week-therapy (p > 0.0001) was detected after the publication of the 2018 ACVIM consensus statement. Considering the indications, there was also a significant increase in the appropriate prescription of omeprazole in the second compared to the first period of study (p < 0.0001). Fifteen of 16 clinicians (94%) involved in the prescription of omeprazole indicated that their reading of the consensus statement had changed their clinical practice regarding PPI administration in dogs. Discussion These results support the beneficial impact of the ACVIM consensus statement on the judicious prescribing of omeprazole in an academic veterinary hospital. These results should not be extrapolated to first-opinion veterinary practices, and further efforts should be made to ensure that PPIs are prescribed prudently with a clear indication and regular review of the appropriateness of continued administration to minimize possible risks and adverse drug interactions.

PPI use is not associated with bone microarchitecture and strength assessed with HR-pQCT after three-years follow-up in patients visiting the Fracture Liaison Service. Bone 2024; 182:117066. [PMID: 38438097 DOI: 10.1016/j.bone.2024.117066] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/30/2023] [Revised: 01/30/2024] [Accepted: 02/29/2024] [Indexed: 03/06/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The use of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) has been associated with an increased fracture risk in observational studies. However, the reported association between PPI use and bone mineral density (BMD), bone microarchitecture, and bone strength is inconsistent. This study aims to assess the association between PPI use and bone microarchitecture and strength using high-resolution peripheral quantitative CT (HR-pQCT) in a three-year follow-up study in patients with a recent fracture visiting the Fracture Liaison Service (FLS). METHODS This three-year prospective cohort study included FLS patients aged ≥ 50 years with a recent fracture (median age 62 [IQR 56-69] years, 68.7 % females) and without anti-osteoporosis treatment indication. HR-pQCT scans (distal radius and tibia) were obtained at baseline (T0) and three-year follow-up (T3). Volumetric bone mineral density and bone area, microarchitecture, and strength (micro-finite element analysis) were determined. The association between three-year continuous PPI use and the percentage change in HR-pQCT parameters between T0 and T3 was assessed using sex-stratified multivariate linear regression analyses. Covariates included age, BMI, vitamin-D deficiency (< 50 nmol/l), glucocorticoid use, and cardiovascular co-morbidity (males and females) fracture type (major/hip vs. all others, only males) and probable sarcopenia (only females). RESULTS In total, 282 participants had available medication data throughout follow-up, of whom 20.6 % were continuous PPI users. In both males and females with complete HR-pQCT follow-up data (males: N = 69 radius, N = 84 tibia; females: N = 147 radius, N = 168 tibia), PPI use was not associated with the percentage change of any of the bone microarchitecture or strength parameters between T0 and T3 at the radius and tibia as compared to non-use. CONCLUSION Compared to non-use, PPI use was not associated with the change of bone microarchitecture and strength in FLS patients at three years of follow-up. These results do not support that an altered bone microarchitecture or strength may contribute to the increased fracture risk associated with PPI use, as reported in observational studies.

Eur J Clin Pharmacol 2024; 80:603-612. [PMID: 38319349 PMCID: PMC10937751 DOI: 10.1007/s00228-024-03633-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/14/2023] [Accepted: 01/18/2024] [Indexed: 02/07/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE This study aims to identify PIM prevalence in older adults according to the 2019 Beers criteria, Screening Tool of Older Person's Prescriptions version 2 (STOPP v2) criteria, and the Portuguese EU(7)-PIM list and also to analyze the concordance between these criteria. METHODS A retrospective study was conducted among 1200 Portuguese older adults (≥ 65 years old), users of primary health care. Demographic, clinical, and pharmacological data were collected concerning the period between April 2021 and August 2022. A comparative analysis was performed between the three PIM identification criteria, and the concordance was determined according to the Lin concordance correlation coefficient. RESULTS The mean age was 76.3 (SD 7.7) years old and 57.6% of the older adults were females. Our findings indicate varying prevalence rates among these criteria with 63.8% (95% CI 61.0-66.6%), 66.8% (95% CI 64.1-69.5%), and 50.1% (95% CI 47.2-53.0%) of the older adults take at least one PIM according to the EU(7)-PIM list, Beers 2019, and STOPP v2 criteria, respectively. The highest prevalence observed was for proton pump inhibitors according to EU(7)-PIM list (30.1%, 95% CI 27.6-32.9) and Beers criteria (30.1%, 95% CI 27.6-32.9) and alprazolam according to STOPP v2 criteria (10.1%, 95% CI 8.4-11.9%). A poor concordance between criteria was observed (< 0.834). The highest concordance coefficient was found between the EU(7)-PIM list and the Beers criteria (0.833), and the lowest between the EU(7)-PIM list and STOPP criteria (0.735). CONCLUSION This study reveals varying prevalence rates of PIM in older adults, as assessed by different criteria, and highlights the need for targeted interventions and improved prescribing practices. In the future, studies should focus on the occurrence of negative outcomes in older adults associated with PIM consumption.

Patient journey in gastroesophageal reflux disease: real-world perspectives from Italian gastroenterologists, primary care physicians, and ENT specialists. Therap Adv Gastroenterol 2024; 17:17562848241239590. [PMID: 38524789 PMCID: PMC10960349 DOI: 10.1177/17562848241239590] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2023] [Accepted: 02/28/2024] [Indexed: 03/26/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a challenging condition that involves different physicians, such as general practitioners (GPs), gastroenterologists, and ears, nose and throat (ENT) specialists. A common approach consists of proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs) administration. Adjunctive pharmacological treatment may have a role in the management of non-responders to PPIs. Objectives We aimed to survey GPs and different medical specialists to investigate the medical approaches to patients reporting GERD symptoms. In addition, we examined the use of adjunctive pharmacological treatments in patients with GERD symptoms who do not respond to PPIs. Design Retrospective observational study. Methods A survey was conducted among a large sample of gastroenterologists, GPs, and ENT specialists. Symptoms were divided into typical and extraesophageal, and their severity and impact on quality of life were explored with the GERD Impact Scale and with Reflux Symptom Index (RSI). All therapies administered usually for GERD were investigated. Results A total of 6211 patients were analyzed in this survey. Patients with typical symptoms were 53.5%, while those with extraesophageal symptoms were 46.5%. The latter were more frequently reported by ENT patients (53.6%, p < 0.0001). The GSI was higher in patients followed by gastroenterologists (9 points) and GPs (9 points) than ENT specialists (8 points), but the RSI was higher in the ENT group (14.3 ± 6.93) than in GPs and gastroenterologist groups (10.36 ± 6.36 and 10.81 ± 7.30, p < 0.0001). Chest pain had the highest negative impact on quality of life (p < 0.0001). Of the 3025 patients who used PPIs, non-responders showed a lower GSI when treated with a combination of adjunctive pharmacological treatments and bioadhesive compounds, than with single-component drugs. Conclusion Patients with GERD referred to a gastroenterologist had more severe disease and poorer quality of life. The combination of adjunctive pharmacological treatments and bioadhesive compounds seems to be effective in the management of PPI refractory patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite deprescribing initiatives to curb overutilization of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), achieving meaningful reductions in PPI use is proving a challenge. SUMMARY An international group of primary care doctors and gastroenterologists examined the literature surrounding PPI use and use-reduction to clarify: (i) what constitutes rational PPI prescribing; (ii) when and in whom PPI use-reduction should be attempted; and (iii) what strategies to use when attempting PPI use-reduction. KEY MESSAGES Before starting a PPI for reflux-like symptoms, patients should be educated on potential causes and alternative approaches including dietary and lifestyle modification, weight loss, and relaxation strategies. When commencing a PPI, patients should understand the reason for treatment, planned duration, and review date. PPI use at hospital discharge should not be continued without a recognized indication for long-term treatment. Long-term PPI therapy should be reviewed at least annually. PPI use-reduction should be based on the lack of a rational indication for long-term PPI use, not concern for PPI-associated adverse events. PPI use-reduction strategies involving switching to on-demand PPI or dose tapering, with rescue therapy for rebound symptoms, are more likely to succeed than abrupt cessation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prevalence and characteristics of inappropriate use of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) to prevent stress-related mucosal disease (SRMD) during the perioperative period and its associated factors are rarely reported. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and characteristics of inappropriate prophylactic use of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) during the perioperative period and identify its associated factors in a tertiary care and academic teaching hospital in China and to provide evidence for regulation authorities and pharmacists to take targeted measures to promote rational drug use. METHODS Inpatients who underwent surgical operations and received prophylactic use of PPIs from June 2022 to November 2022 were included in this retrospective study. The appropriateness of perioperative prophylactic use of PPIs was evaluated by clinical pharmacists. Associated factors with inappropriate perioperative prophylactic use of PPIs were analyzed by univariable and multivariable logistic regression. RESULTS Four-hundred seventy-two patients were finally included in this study, of which 131 (27.75%) patients had at least one problem with inappropriate perioperative prophylactic use of PPIs. The three most common problems were drug use without indication (52.0%), inappropriate usage and dosage (34.6%), and inappropriate duration of medication (6.7%). Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that oral dosage form of PPIs [OR = 18.301, 95% CI (7.497, 44.671), p < 0.001], discharge medication of PPIs [OR = 11.739, 95% CI (1.289, 106.886), p = 0.029], and junior doctors [OR = 9.167, 95% CI (3.459, 24.299), p < 0.001] were associated with more inappropriate prophylactic use of PPIs. Antithrombotics [OR = 0.313, 95% CI (0.136, 0.721), p = 0.006] and prolonged postoperative hospital stay (longer than 15 days) [OR = 0.262, 95% CI (0.072, 0.951), p = 0.042] were associated with less inappropriate prophylactic use of PPIs. CONCLUSIONS The inappropriate prophylactic use of PPIs during the perioperative period is common. Regulation authorities and pharmacists should take more targeted measures to promote the rational prophylactic use of PPIs during the perioperative period.

Abstract
The objectives of the present study were to evaluate the acute toxicity, gastroprotective, therapeutic, anti-inflammatory and anti H. pylori activities of T. vulgaris total plant extract against ethanol-induced gastric ulcers in Sprague Dawley rats. Animals were divided into five groups i.e G-1 (Normal Control), Group 2 (ulcer control) were administered orally with 0.5% Carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), Group 3 (omeprazole treated) was administered orally with 20 mg/kg of omeprazole and Groups 4 and 5 (Low dose and High dose of the extract) were administered orally with 250, and 500 mg/ kg of Thymus vulgaris extract, respectively. After 1 hour, the normal group was orally administered with 0.5% CMC (5 ml/kg), whereas absolute alcohol (5ml/ kg) was orally administered to the ulcer control group, omeprazole group, and experimental groups. Stomachs were examined macroscopically and microscopically. Grossly, rats pre-treated with T. vulgaris demonstrated significantly decreased ulcer area and an increase in mucus secretion and pH of gastric content compared with the ulcer control group. Microscopy of gastric mucosa in the ulcer control group showed severe damage to gastric mucosa with edema and leukocytes infiltration of the submucosal layer. However, rats pretreated with omeprazole or Thyme vulgaris exhibited a mild to moderate disruption of the surface epithelium and lower level of edema and leukocyte infiltration of the submucosal layer. The T. vulgaris extract caused up-regulation of Hsp70 protein, down-regulation of Bax protein, and intense periodic acid Schiff uptake of the glandular portion of the stomach. Gastric mucosal homogenate of rats pre-treated with T. vulgaris exhibited significantly increased superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) activities while malondialdehyde (MDA) level was significantly decreased. Based on the results showed in this study, Thymus vulgaris extract can be proposed as the safe medicinal plants for use and it has considerable gastroprotective potential via stomach epithelium protection against gastric ulcers and stomach lesions.

Abstract
The Lyon Consensus provides conclusive criteria for and against the diagnosis of gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and adjunctive metrics that consolidate or refute GERD diagnosis when primary criteria are borderline or inconclusive. An international core and working group was assembled to evaluate research since publication of the original Lyon Consensus, and to vote on statements collaboratively developed to update criteria. The Lyon Consensus 2.0 provides a modern definition of actionable GERD, where evidence from oesophageal testing supports revising, escalating or personalising GERD management for the symptomatic patient. Symptoms that have a high versus low likelihood of relationship to reflux episodes are described. Unproven versus proven GERD define diagnostic strategies and testing options. Patients with no prior GERD evidence (unproven GERD) are studied using prolonged wireless pH monitoring or catheter-based pH or pH-monitoring off antisecretory medication, while patients with conclusive GERD evidence (proven GERD) and persisting symptoms are evaluated using pH-impedance monitoring while on optimised antisecretory therapy. The major changes from the original Lyon Consensus criteria include establishment of Los Angeles grade B oesophagitis as conclusive GERD evidence, description of metrics and thresholds to be used with prolonged wireless pH monitoring, and inclusion of parameters useful in diagnosis of refractory GERD when testing is performed on antisecretory therapy in proven GERD. Criteria that have not performed well in the diagnosis of actionable GERD have been retired. Personalisation of investigation and management to each patient's unique presentation will optimise GERD diagnosis and management.

Gastric development of pancreatic acinar cell metaplasia after Vonoprazan therapy in rats. Surg Endosc 2023; 37:9366-9372. [PMID: 37644156 DOI: 10.1007/s00464-023-10371-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2023] [Accepted: 07/30/2023] [Indexed: 08/31/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Vonoprazan is a new acid-suppressing drug that received FDA approval in 2022. It reversibly inhibits gastric acid secretion by competing with the potassium ions on the luminal surface of the parietal cells (potassium-competitive acid blockers or P-CABs). Vonoprazan has been on the market for a short time and there are many clinical trials to support its clinical application. However, medical experience and comprehensive clinical data is still limited, especially on how and if, gastric histology is altered due to therapy. METHODS A 12-week experiment trial with 30 Wistar rats was to assess the presence of gastrointestinal morphologic abnormalities upon administration of omeprazole and vonoprazan. At six weeks of age, rats were randomly assigned to one of 5 groups: (1) saline as negative control group, (2) oral omeprazole (40 mg/kg), as positive control group, (3) oral omeprazole (40 mg/kg) for 4 weeks, proceeded by 8 weeks off omeprazole, (4) oral vonoprazan (4 mg/kg), as positive control group, and (5) oral vonoprazan (4 mg/kg) for 4 weeks, proceeded by 8 weeks off vonoprazan. RESULTS We identified non-inflammatory alterations characterized by parietal (oxyntic) cell loss and chief (zymogen) cell hyperplasia and replacement by pancreatic acinar cell metaplasia (PACM). No significant abnormalities were identified in any other tissues in the hepatobiliary and gastrointestinal tracts. CONCLUSION PACM has been reported in gastric mucosa, at the esophagogastric junction, at the distal esophagus, and in Barrett esophagus. However, the pathogenesis of this entity is still unclear. Whereas some authors have suggested that PACM is an acquired process others have raised the possibility of PACM being congenital in nature. Our results suggest that the duration of vonoprazan administration at a dose of 4 mg/kg plays an important role in the development of PACM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Clinical pharmacists have a pivotal role in the management of the patient's medication. However, it is necessary to know how pharmacist-mediated deprescribing could be implemented in a hospital setting according to hospital physicians. OBJECTIVE To explore physicians' views on the involvement of hospital pharmacists in the deprescribing process using the example of PPIs. METHODS A qualitative study using two focus groups with hospital physicians was conducted to determine their attitudes regarding deprescribing initiated by the hospital pharmacist. The interviews were recorded and transcribed using the NVivo analysis software. A thematic analysis led to a categorization of all the verbatims. RESULTS Hospital doctors are reluctant to deprescribe drugs initiated by a colleague and feel that it is the responsibility of the general practitioner (GP), who fails to do so due to lack of time. In this situation, the hospital pharmacist is in the best position to deprescribe because of his/her expertise in drug therapy. This should be a discussion between the hospital pharmacist, the hospital doctor, the GP and the patient. Deprescribing should always be adapted to the patient's context. CONCLUSION Hospital physicians are open to a pharmacist-mediated, patient-centred approach to deprescribing as long as the GP is involved.

The association between proton pump inhibitors and hyperparathyroidism: a potential mechanism for increased fracture-results of a large observational cohort study. Osteoporos Int 2023; 34:1917-1926. [PMID: 37530847 PMCID: PMC10579148 DOI: 10.1007/s00198-023-06867-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/20/2023] [Accepted: 07/19/2023] [Indexed: 08/03/2023]
Abstract
Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are associated with increased risk of osteoporotic fracture; however, the mechanism is unclear. PPI users taking calcium supplements were more likely to have hyperparathyroidism compared to non-users (OR 1.56, CI 1.08-2.23, p = 0.018). This highlights the importance of monitoring PPI use, especially in older adults. PURPOSE Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are associated with increased risk of osteoporotic fracture. Hyperparathyroidism may be implicated, but few studies have considered this relationship. This study evaluated the relationship between PPI use and hyperparathyroidism in older adults. METHODS Participants were from the TUDA study, a large cross-sectional cohort of older Irish adults. Participants with an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 30 ml/min and serum calcium > 2.5 mmol/l were excluded to avoid hyperparathyroidism due to chronic renal disease and primary hyperparathyroidism. Hyperparathyroidism was defined as a parathyroid hormone (PTH) > 65 pg/ml. Multivariate regression models were used to analyse the relationship between PPI use and hyperparathyroidism. RESULTS A total of 4139 participants met the inclusion criteria, of whom 37.8% (n = 1563) were taking PPI medication. PPI use was identified in 41.4% of calcium supplement users and 35.4% of non-calcium supplement users. Overall, compared to non-users of PPIs, those taking PPIs were older (74.8 vs 72.9 years, p < 0.001) and had a higher prevalence of hyperparathyroidism (17.8 vs 11.0%, p < 0.001). In those taking calcium supplements (but not in non-users), PPI use was significantly associated with hyperparathyroidism (OR 1.56, CI 1.08-2.23, p = 0.018) after adjusting for age, sex, body mass index, serum vitamin D, eGFR, timed-up-and-go, dairy intake, medications, and comorbidities. DISCUSSION The results are consistent with the hypothesis of PPIs reducing calcium absorption, leading to a rise in PTH which could mediate increased fracture risk. No relationship of PPI use with hyperparathyroidism was observed in non-users of calcium supplements, possibly owing to lower dietary calcium intake. These results highlight the importance of monitoring PPI use, especially in older adults at risk of fracture.

Abstract
AIMS The main objective of this study was to compare extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) Escherichia coli fecal titers during 12 days between two groups: mice who received proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and those that did not. METHODS AND RESULTS We tested three different in vivo models: model 1, high inoculum (106 CFU ml-1); model 2, low inoculum (102 CFU ml-1); and model 3, low inoculum and 2-day amoxicillin wash-out. There was no significant difference between the two groups in fecal ESBL E. coli titers in models 1 and 2. The fecal titers of ESBL E. coli were probably too high to show differences in colonization related to PPI treatment. By introducing a 2-day wash-out period after stopping amoxicillin (model 3), the fecal ESBL E. coli titers were higher in the PPI-treated mice during 12 days (3 log versus 11 log day CFU g-1; P < 0.05). This result highlighted that PPIs promote stable ESBL E. coli digestive carriage in mice. Fecal quantitative PCR showed that mice with low ESBL E. coli fecal titers had a much higher concentration of equol-producing bacteria, Muribaculum sp., and Adlercreutzia caecimuris. CONCLUSIONS Pantoprazole treatment promotes sustained digestive carriage of ESBL E. coli in amoxicillin-treated mice.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This descriptive observational cross-sectional study aimed to assess the general population's awareness, attitudes, and behaviours towards proton pump inhibitor (PPI) usage, as well as their knowledge about associated side effects, in the Qassim region of Saudi Arabia. METHODS An autonomous online survey was conducted from June 15, 2023, to September 1, 2023, using social media. The survey targeted adult residents of Qassim and collected a total of 1090 respondents. Data analysis employed descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, and probit regression using R version 4.3.1 (RStudio, Boston, MA). A significance level of p<0.05 was utilized to interpret the results. RESULTS A total of 1050 samples, limited to residents of Qassim, were analyzed. Significant associations were observed between awareness of PPIs and factors such as side effects (adjOR = 1.19, 99% CI: 1.08-1.31), widespread PPI use (adjOR = 1.24, 99% CI: 1.12-1.38), PPI usage (adjOR = 2.47, 99% CI: 2.18-2.82), and optimal PPI timing (adjOR = 1.30, 99% CI: 1.13-1.50). Additionally, age, educational attainment, and employment in the medical field significantly influenced awareness gaps related to potential side effects, PPI prevalence, adherence to medical prescriptions, and optimal timing for PPI usage. CONCLUSION The current study concludes that a significant portion of individuals in the Qassim region lack awareness regarding the potential side effects of PPI usage. Comprehensive healthcare education is required to bridge awareness gaps regarding PPIs and foster informed medication practices. By grasping the intricacies of individual perceptions, medical engagement, and demographic factors, healthcare providers and policymakers can collaboratively empower individuals in the Qassim region to make informed choices regarding their health and medication usage.

Abstract
Nearly fifty million older people suffer from neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer (AD) and Parkinson (PD) disease, a global burden expected to triple by 2050. Such an imminent "neurological pandemic" urges the identification of environmental risk factors that are hopefully avoided to fight the disease. In 2022, strong evidence in mouse models incriminated defective lysosomal acidification and impairment of the autophagy pathway as modifiable risk factors for dementia. To date, the most prescribed lysosomotropic drugs are proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), chloroquine (CQ), and the related hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), which belong to the group of disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs). This commentary aims to open the discussion on the possible mechanisms connecting the long-term prescribing of these drugs to the elderly and the incidence of neurodegenerative diseases.Abbreviations: AD: Alzheimer disease; APP-βCTF: amyloid beta precursor protein-C-terminal fragment; BACE1: beta-secretase 1; BBB: brain blood barrier; CHX: Ca2+/H+ exchanger; CMI: cognitive mild impairment; CQ: chloroquine; DMARD: disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs; GBA1: glucosylceramidase beta 1; HCQ: hydroxychloroquine; HPLC: high-performance liquid chromatography; LAMP: lysosomal associated membrane protein; MAPK/JNK: mitogen-activated protein kinase; MAPT: microtubule associated protein tau; MCOLN1/TRPML1: mucolipin TRP cation channel 1; NFE2L2/NRF2: NFE2 like bZIP transcription factor 2; NRBF2: nuclear receptor binding factor 2; PANTHOS: poisonous flower; PD: Parkinson disease; PIK3C3: phosphatIdylinositol 3-kinase catalytic subunit type 3; PPI: proton pump inhibitor; PSEN1: presenilin 1, RUBCN: rubicon autophagy regulator; RUBCNL: rubicon like autophagy enhancer; SQSTM1: sequestosome 1; TMEM175: transmembrane protein 175; TPCN2: two pore segment channel 2; VATPase: vacuolar-type H+-translocating ATPase; VPS13C: vacuolar protein sorting ortholog 13 homolog C; VPS35: VPS35 retromer complex component; WDFY3: WD repeat and FYVE domain containing 3; ZFYVE1: zinc finger FYVE-type containing 1.

Abstract
Background Clinical guidelines support the use of stress ulcer prophylaxis (SUP) in patients at risk of gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding such as those with coagulopathy, renal replacement therapy, and mechanical ventilation. Despite the observed benefits of SUP, its overuse has been highly associated with serious adverse effects. Objective To assess the adherence to the national SUP guidelines in a tertiary hospital in Saudi Arabia. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted using electronic health records at King Fahad Specialist Hospital (KFSH), Buraydah, Saudi Arabia. We collected the data from January 1st to December 31st, 2020. Adult patients aged 18 and older who received SUP prescriptions were included. Descriptive analysis was performed to assess the adherence to the guidelines and to explore the factors associated with SUP use in a hospital-based setting. Results A total of 424 patients were enrolled in this study. The median age of patients was 55.2 years old. Only 54% of patients were candidates for SUP. Internal medicine and surgery wards ranked the highest in prescribing SUP at 34.2% and 30.4%, respectively. The most common major criterion to start SUP was the concomitant use of two or more of these medications (anticoagulants, aspirin, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), corticosteroids, and antidepressants) followed by using NSAIDs or corticosteroids by older adult patients aged (≥65 years) or have GI bleeding history at 43.2% and 21.5%, respectively. Conclusion The observed overuse of anti-ulcer drugs (AUD) indicates a need for greater adherence to SUP guidelines. Areas of improvement can be implemented to ensure appropriate adherence to SUP guidelines to control the costs and avoid unnecessary anti-ulcer-related adverse effects.

Are Proton Pump Inhibitors Contributing in Emerging New Hypertensive Population? Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2023; 16:1387. [PMID: 37895858 PMCID: PMC10609986 DOI: 10.3390/ph16101387] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/04/2023] [Revised: 09/22/2023] [Accepted: 09/28/2023] [Indexed: 10/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Balancing the therapeutic advantages of a medicine with its possible risks and side effects is an important part of medical practice and drug regulation. When a drug is designed to treat a particular disease or medical condition ends up causing additional risks or side effects that lead to the development of other serious health problems, it can have detrimental consequences for patients. This article explores the correlation between persistent proton pump inhibitor (PPI) use and hypertension, a common cardiovascular ailment. While PPIs are beneficial in treating various gastrointestinal problems, their availability without a prescription has resulted in self-medication and long-term use without medical monitoring. Recent findings have revealed a link between long-term PPI usage and increased cardiovascular risks, particularly hypertension. This study investigates the intricate mechanisms underlying PPI's effects, focusing on potential pathways contributing to hypertension, such as endothelial dysfunction, disruption of nitric oxide bioavailability, vitamin B deficiency, hypocalcemia, and hypomagnesemia. The discussion explains how long-term PPI use can disrupt normal endothelial function, vascular control, and mineral balance, eventually leading to hypertension. The article emphasizes the significance of using PPIs with caution and ongoing research to better understand the implications of these medications on cardiovascular health.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Investigate the longitudinal association of use and time of use of proton pump inhibitors (PPI) with incidence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and kidney function change. METHODS Prospective study with 13,909 participants from baseline (2008-2010) and second wave (2012-2014) of the ELSA-Brasil (mean interval between visits = 3.9 years (1.7-6.0)). Participants answered about use and time use of the PPI in the two weeks prior the interview. Renal function was assessed by glomerular filtration rate estimated by the Collaboration Equation for the Epidemiology of Chronic Kidney Disease. Values below 60ml/min/1.73 m² in wave 2 were considered incident CKD. Associations between PPI use and time of use at baseline and incident CKD and decline in renal function were estimated, respectively, by logistic regression and linear models with mixed effects, after adjusting for confounders. RESULTS After adjustments, PPI users for more than six months had an increased risk of CKD compared to non-users. Compared to non-users, users PPIs for up to six months and above six months had greater decline in kidney function over time. CONCLUSION This cohort of adults and elderly, after a mean interval of 3.9 years, PPI use and initial duration were associated with kidney function change between visits.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs) should be deprescribed when an indication is lacking or the dose is too high. Academic and media reports have tried to raise awareness and thereby reduce the inappropriate prescribing of PPIs. However, pharmacoepidemiologic studies have shown an unchanged frequency of such inappropriate prescribing over time. Little is known about whether or how general practitioners (GPs) adapt their prescribing practices once their awareness of inappropriate PPI prescribing has been raised. OBJECTIVE We aimed to investigate the prevalence of potentially inappropriate PPI prescribing (too high dose or no indication) in a consecutive sample of patients in Swiss primary care settings. Our goal was then to evaluate how GPs managed the patients with potentially inappropriate PPI prescribing over 12 months after flagging these patients. METHODS In this observational study, 11 GPs from the canton of Bern in Switzerland used their medical records to identify 20 patients who had been prescribed a PPI for ≥8 weeks and flagged potentially inappropriate PPI prescribing in their records. After 12 months, we asked the same GPs whether the PPI prescriptions of those patients had changed and, if so, how. RESULTS Of 1,376 patients consecutively screened, 206 (15%) had been prescribed a PPI for ≥8 weeks. Of these 206 patients, 85 (41%) had a potentially inappropriate PPI prescription. Of these 85 patients, 55 (65%) had no indication for PPI, and 30 (35%) had a too-high dose. After one year, only 29 (35%) of the 84 flagged potentially inappropriate PPIs were stopped or reduced. The most frequently mentioned reasons that deprescribing was not possible were a lack of discussion with the patient (no contact or no time), the presence of symptoms requiring the PPI, or the unwillingness of the patient to deprescribe. CONCLUSION In the Swiss primary care setting, the rate of potentially inappropriate PPI prescribing is high. Having GPs flag potentially inappropriate PPI prescribing did not result in PPI deprescribing in most patients over 12 months. Our findings suggest that more personalised and targeted interventions are necessary to successfully implement the deprescribing of potentially inappropriate PPIs. We see the need to co-design interventions with patients and providers and test behavioural change techniques to enable the deprescribing of inappropriate PPIs.

Abstract
Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are one of the most commonly prescribed drug groups in developed countries. Their approved indications include gastroesophageal reflux disease, peptic ulcer disease, and prophylaxis against NSAID-induced gastroenteropathy in specific scenarios. Since their introduction into clinical practice, their usage has significantly increased, leading to concerns about possible inappropriate prescribing, which can result in a higher risk of side effects and increased economic costs. Consequently, in recent years, literature linking PPIs to various adverse effects has emerged, with some supported by robust evidence, while others are based on lower-quality evidence, requiring cautious interpretation. Among the adverse effects of PPIs, significant ones include an increased risk of fragility fractures, deficiencies in certain micronutrients such as vitamin B12 and magnesium, a higher incidence of enteric infections, especially Clostridioides difficile, complications in cirrhotic patients, and pharmacological interactions with other medications. In clinical practice, it is essential to periodically evaluate the rationale for prescribing these drugs and consider discontinuing them if there is no appropriate indication. Despite PPIs being generally safe medications, it is crucial to be aware of their potential adverse effects and appropriate indications to ensure their proper use.

Abstract
Data to draw definite conclusions regarding the association between proton pump inhibitor (PPI) and all-cause mortality in patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD) remain insufficient. The object of this retrospective study was to assess the impact of PPIs on patient survival within a substantial cohort of individuals receiving maintenance HD. To achieve this, the study employed laboratory and clinical data sourced from the 4th, 5th, and 6th National HD Quality Assessment Programs. The programs included patients undergoing maintenance HD (n = 54,903). Based on the PPI prescription data collected over the 6-month HD quality assessment, the patients were categorized into three groups: Group 1, comprising individuals with not prescription; Group 2, consisting of patients prescribed PPIs for less than 90 days; and Group 3, comprising patients prescribed PPIs for 90 days or more. The respective number of patients in Groups 1, 2, and 3 was 43,059 (78.4%), 5065 (9.2%), and 6779 (12.3%), respectively. Among the study groups, the 5-year survival rates were as follows: Group 1-70.0%, Group 2-68.4%, and Group 3-63.0%. The hazard ratio for Group 3 was 1.09 (95% CI, 1.04 to 1.15; p < 0.001) and 1.10 (95% CI, 1.03 to 1.18; p = 0.007) compared to Groups 1 or 2 based on multivariable analysis. Multivariable analyses revealed a lower rate of patient survival in Group 3 compared to the other groups, while Groups 1 and 2 exhibited similar patient survival rates. Our study revealed a significant association between long-term PPI usage and increased mortality among patients undergoing HD. However, distinct trends were observed in subgroup analyses. The association between long-term PPI usage and mortality was prominent in patients who did not have a high gastrointestinal burden or comorbidities. Meanwhile, this association was not observed in patients who did have a high gastrointestinal burden or comorbidities.

Abstract
Cancer immunotherapy, largely represented by immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI), has led to substantial changes in preclinical cancer research and clinical oncology practice over the past decade. However, the efficacy and toxicity profiles of ICIs remain highly variable among patients, with only a fraction achieving a significant benefit. New combination therapeutic strategies are being investigated, and the search for novel predictive biomarkers is ongoing, mainly focusing on tumor- and host-intrinsic components. Less attention has been directed to all the external, potentially modifiable factors that compose the exposome, including diet and lifestyle, infections, vaccinations, and concomitant medications, that could affect the immune system response and its activity against cancer cells. We hereby provide a review of the available clinical evidence elucidating the impact of host-extrinsic factors on ICI response and toxicity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to describe the trend in prescribing proton pump inhibitor (PPI) use and expenditure in both secondary and tertiary hospitals in China between 2017 and 2021. DESIGN Multicentre cross-sectional survey. SETTING China, 14 medical centres, January 2017 to December 2021. PARTICIPANTS 537 284 participants who were treated with PPI in 14 medical centres of China, between January 2017 and December 2021 were included. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES The rate of PPI prescriptions, the defined daily doses (DDDs), DDDs/1000 inhabitants per day (DDDs/TID) and expenditure were analysed and plotted to demonstrate changes in prescription PPI use and expenditure. RESULTS For both outpatient and inpatient settings, the rate of PPI prescribing decreased from 2017 to 2021. In outpatient settings, decreased slightly from 3.4% to 2.8%, however, in inpatient settings, showed a progressive decrease from 26.7% to 14.0%. The overall rate of injectable PPI prescriptions for inpatients decreased significantly from 21.2% to 7.3% between 2017 and 2021. Decreased trends in usage of oral PPI were observed (from 280 750 DDDs to 255 121 DDDs) between 2017 and 2021. However, usage of injectable PPI showed a significantly decrease from 191 451 DDDs to 68 806 DDDs from 2017 to 2021. In terms of DDDs/TID of PPI for inpatients decreased dramatically from 52.3 to 30.2 for the past 5 years. Expenditure on oral PPI decreased slightly from ¥1.98 million (Chinese currency Renminbi 'yuan') to ¥1.23 million for the past 5 years, whereas expenditure on injectable PPI showed a marked decrease from ¥2.61 million to ¥0.94 million. There was no statistical difference in both PPI use and expenditure between secondary and tertiary hospitals during the study period. CONCLUSIONS Decreased PPI use and expenditure were observed among secondary and tertiary hospitals over the past 5 years (2017-2021).

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) have revolutionized the management of acid-related disorders, representing today the mainstay treatment of these conditions. However, despite their large range of indications and usefulness, the remarkable expansion of their use in the last two decades cannot be explained by the increasing prevalence of acid-related diseases only. An inappropriate prescription for clinical conditions in which the pathogenetic role of acid has not been documented has been described, with the natural consequence of increasing the costs and the potential risk of iatrogenic harm due to adverse events and complications recently emerged. AREAS COVERED In this review, we summarize current indications of PPIs administration, potential adverse events associated with their chronic utilization, and misuse of PPIs. Moreover, we describe existing and possible initiatives for improving the use of PPIs, and some proposals for the future. EXPERT OPINION PPI deprescribing is the preferred and most effective approach to reduce the use of PPIs, rather than adopting sharp discontinuation, probably due to fewer withdrawal symptoms. Nonetheless, large knowledge gaps still exist in clinical practice regarding the optimal approach of PPI deprescribing in various clinical scenarios. Further prospective well-designed international studies are eagerly warranted to improve our perspectives on controlling global PPI inappropriate use.

Abstract
Proton Pump inhibitors (PPIs) are frequently prescribed to cancer patients to prevent gastric mucosal damage. Post-diagnostic PPI use in patients with solid tumors may be associated with increased cancer mortality. However, the hazardous impact of PPIs in patients with hematologic malignancies remains unknown. This association was investigated in a large, retrospective cohort study using data from the Danish nationwide health registries. The outcomes were cancer-specific or non-cancer deaths. We identified 15,320 patients with hematologic malignancies and of these 1811 were identified as post-diagnostic PPI users. PPI users had significantly increased HRs for cancer-specific mortality (HR 1.31; 95% CI, 1.18-1.44) and 1-year cancer-specific mortality (HR 1.50, 95% CI 1.29-1.74) as compared to nonusers. The association between PPI use and increased cancer-specific mortality in Danish patients with hematologic malignancies supports the raised concerns regarding the frequent use of PPIs in cancer patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Heartburn is a frequent symptom occurring in daily clinical practice and is mainly associated with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). However, it can be stimulated by various factors and diseases other than GERD can present with heartburn. Therefore, physicians must be very careful in distinguishing GERD from non-GERD conditions in their patients, particularly when heartburn is refractory to anti-reflux medications. AREAS COVERED The aim of this narrative review was to analyze the medical literature regarding the prevalence of heartburn and the various clinical disorders which can be present with this symptom. The type of medications usually adopted for treating heartburn and their grade of safety have been reviewed using an extensive computerized (Medline/PubMed) search with particular focus on the last 20 years. EXPERT OPINION Many drugs can be used for relieving heartburn in patients with GERD, although PPIs are the pharmacological agents with the greatest efficacy. However, it must be highlighted that many non-GERD conditions may present clinically with this symptom whose intensity does not differ between GERD and functional esophageal disorders, which represent about 50% of all patients with suspected GERD. It is very important to identify these functional conditions because their treatment differs completely from that of GERD.

The Impact of Prescribing Monitoring Policy on Drug Use and Expenditures in China: A Multi-center Interrupted Time Series Study. Int J Health Policy Manag 2023; 12:7343. [PMID: 37579366 PMCID: PMC10461934 DOI: 10.34172/ijhpm.2023.7343] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/20/2022] [Accepted: 06/03/2023] [Indexed: 08/16/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND A prescribing monitoring policy (PMP) was implemented in November 2015 in Anhui province, China, the first province to pilot this policy to manage the use and costs of select drugs based on their large prescription volumes and/ or costs in hospitals. This study evaluated the impact of PMP on the use and expenditures of different drugs in three tertiary hospitals in Anhui. METHODS We obtained monthly drug use and expenditures data from three tertiary hospitals in Anhui (November 2014 through September 2017). An interrupted time series (ITS) design was used to estimate changes in defined daily doses (DDDs per month) and drug expenditures (dollars per month) of policy-targeted and non-targeted drugs after PMP implementation. Drugs were grouped based on whether they were recommended (recommended drugs) by any clinical guidelines or not (non-recommended drugs), or if they were potentially over-used (proton pump inhibitors, PPIs). RESULTS After PMP, DDDs and costs of the targeted PPIs (omeprazole) declined while use of non-targeted PPIs increased correspondingly with overall sustained declines in total PPIs. The policy impact on recommended drugs varied based on whether the targeted drugs have appropriate alternatives. The DDDs and costs of recommended drugs that have readily accessible appropriate alternatives (atorvastatin) declined, which offset increases in its alternative non-target drugs (rosuvastatin), while there was no significant change in those recommended drugs that did not have appropriate alternative drugs (clopidogrel and ticagrelor). Finally, the DDDs and costs of non-recommended drugs decreased significantly. CONCLUSION PMP policy impact was not the same across different drug groups. PMP did help contain the use and costs of potentially over-used drugs and non-recommended drugs. PMP did not seem to reduce the use of first-line therapeutic drugs recommended by clinical treatment guidelines, especially those lacking alternatives; such drugs are unlikely appropriate candidates for PMP.

Abstract
Since their approval by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1989, proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) have become one of the most highly utilized drugs in the United States, assuming a position as one of the top 10 most prescribed medications in the country. The purpose of PPIs is to limit the amount of gastric acid secreted by the parietal cells via irreversible inhibition of the H+/K+-ATPase pump, therefore maintaining an elevated gastric acid pH of greater than 4 for 15-21 h. Even though PPIs have many clinical uses, they are not without their adverse effects, mimicking achlorhydria. Besides electrolyte abnormalities and vitamin deficiencies, long-term use of PPIs has been linked to acute interstitial nephritis, bone fractures, poor COVID-19 infection outcomes, pneumonia, and possibly an increase in all-cause mortality. The causality between PPI use and increased mortality and disease risk can be questioned since most studies are observational. Confounding variables can greatly affect an observational study and explain the wide-ranging associations with the use of PPIs. Patients on PPIs are generally older, obese, sicker with a higher number of baseline morbidities, and on more medications than the compared PPI non-users. These findings suggest that PPI users are at a higher risk of mortality and complications based on pre-existing conditions. This narrative review aims to update readers on the concerning effects that proton pump inhibitor use can have on patients and give providers a resource to create informed decisions on appropriate PPI use.

Maideen NMP. Adverse Effects Associated with Long-Term Use of Proton Pump Inhibitors. Chonnam Med J 2023; 59:115-127. [PMID: 37303818 PMCID: PMC10248387 DOI: 10.4068/cmj.2023.59.2.115] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/04/2023] [Revised: 05/03/2023] [Accepted: 05/04/2023] [Indexed: 06/13/2023] Open
Abstract
Proton Pump Inhibitors are used widely to manage many gastric acid-related conditions such as gastroesophageal disease, gastritis, esophagitis, Barrett's esophagus, Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, peptic ulcer disease, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug-associated ulcers, and Helicobacter pylori eradication, around the globe. This review article focuses on adverse effects associated with the long-term use of proton pump inhibitors. Various observational studies, clinical trials, and meta-analyses have established the adverse effects associated with the long-term use of proton pump inhibitors including renal disorders (acute interstitial nephritis, acute kidney injury, chronic kidney disease, and end-stage renal disease), cardiovascular risks (major adverse cardiovascular events, myocardial infarction, stent thrombosis, and stroke), fractures, infections (Clostridium difficile infection, community-acquired pneumonia, and Coronavirus disease 2019), micronutrient deficiencies (hypomagnesemia, anemia, vitamin B12 deficiency, hypocalcemia, hypokalemia), hypergastrinemia, cancers (gastric cancer, pancreatic cancer, colorectal cancer, hepatic cancer), hepatic encephalopathy, and dementia. Clinicians including prescribers and pharmacists should be aware of the adverse effects of taking proton pump inhibitors for an extended period of time. In addition, the patients taking proton pump inhibitors for long-term should be monitored for the listed adverse effects. The American Gastroenterological association recommends a few non-pharmacological measures and the use of histamine 2 blockers to lessen gastrointestinal symptoms of gastroesophageal reflex disease and the utilization of proton pump inhibitors treatment if there is a definitive indication. Additionally, the American Gastroenterological association's Best Practice Advice statements emphasize deprescribing when there is no clear indication for proton pump inhibitors therapy.

Topical Alginate Protection against Pepsin-Mediated Esophageal Damage: E-Cadherin Proteolysis and Matrix Metalloproteinase Induction. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24097932. [PMID: 37175640 PMCID: PMC10178445 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24097932] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2023] [Revised: 04/18/2023] [Accepted: 04/25/2023] [Indexed: 05/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Epithelial barrier dysfunction is a hallmark of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) related to symptom origination, inflammatory remodeling and carcinogenesis. Alginate-based antireflux medications were previously shown to topically protect against peptic barrier disruption, yet the molecular mechanisms of injury and protection were unclear. Herein, Barrett's esophageal (BAR-T) cells were pretreated with buffered saline (HBSS; control), dilute alginate medications (Gaviscon Advance or Gaviscon Double Action, Reckitt Benckiser), a viscosity-matched placebo, or ADAM10 and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) inhibitors before exposure to HBSS pH7.4 or pH4 ± 1 mg/mL pepsin for 10-60 min. Cell viability was assessed by ATP assay; mediators of epithelial integrity, E-cadherin, ADAM10, and MMPs were examined by Western blot and qPCR. Alginate rescued peptic reduction of cell viability (p < 0.0001). Pepsin-pH4 yielded E-cadherin fragments indicative of regulated intramembrane proteolysis (RIP) which was not rescued by inhibitors of known E-cadherin sheddases. Transcriptional targets of E-cadherin RIP fragments were elevated at 24 h (MMP-1,2,9,14; p < 0.01). Alginate rescued E-cadherin cleavage, ADAM10 maturation, and MMP induction (p < 0.01). Results support RIP as a novel mechanism of peptic injury during GERD. Alginate residue after wash-out to mimic physiologic esophageal clearance conferred lasting protection against pepsin-induced molecular mechanisms that may exacerbate GERD severity and promote carcinogenesis in the context of weakly acidic reflux.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) remains one of the most commonly encountered gastrointestinal disorders. Proton pump inhibitors still show an inadequate effect on about 10% to 40% of the patients. Laparoscopic antireflux surgery is the surgical alternative for managing GERD in patients who are not responding to proton pump inhibitors. AIM OF THE STUDY This study objected at comparing laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication and laparoscopic Toupet fundoplication (LTF) concerning the short-term and long-term outcomes. PATIENTS AND METHODS This is a systematic review and meta-analysis that evaluated the studies comparing between Nissen fundoplication and LTF for the treatment of GERD. Studies were obtained by searching on the EMBASE, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and PubMed central database. RESULTS The LTF group showed significantly longer operation time, less postoperative dysphagia and gas bloating, less pressure on the lower esophageal sphincter, and higher Demeester scores. No statistically significant differences were found between the 2 groups in the perioperative complications, the recurrence of GERD, the reoperation rate, the quality of life, or the reoperation rate. CONCLUSION LTF is favored for the surgical treatment of GERD being of lower postoperative dysphagia and gas bloating rates. These benefits were not at the expense of significantly additional perioperative complications or surgery failure.

Abstract
Conditions experienced in early life have long-lasting effects on offspring health. Despite this, little is known about how maternal exposure to drugs during pregnancy affects offspring teeth morphogenesis. In humans, omeprazole is a common drug used to mitigate Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease. Importantly, omeprazole is a non-specific proton-pump inhibitor, which may inhibit the proton pumps expressed in the developing tooth germ. To date, however, the effects of intrauterine life exposure to omeprazole on offspring tooth development remain unknown. In this study, we addressed this gap in a murine model. Pregnant female Swiss mice were exposed to daily doses of 40 mg/kg of omeprazole from the 5th to the 17th day of pregnancy and the effects of such exposure on offspring odontogenesis parameters such as morphological abnormalities, disruptions in the ameloblast and odontoblast layers and the presence of dentin matrix were measured. Omeprazole exposure significantly increased the prevalence (control: 21.6%; treatment: 60%; p = 0.001) and the risk (posterior mean and 95% credible interval; control: 0.230 [0.129; 0.347]; treatment: 0.593 [0.449; 0.730]) of offspring teeth morphological abnormalities, although there were no statistically significant effects of omeprazole exposure on other parameters of tooth development. These findings suggest that there are potential side-effects to offspring oral health of omeprazole use during pregnancy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The study determined a comparative three-year trend in prescribing volumes and costs of proton pump inhibitors in three outpatient specialties of a tertiary hospital. METHODS Prescription data for three consecutive fiscal years (2016-2018) were extracted from a tertiary hospital electronic database, for the gastrointestinal, cardiovascular and orthopaedic outpatient specialties. The data collected were individual proton pump inhibitors, overall and individual prescribing volumes (capsule/tablet) and costs, stratified by specialty and fiscal year. KEY FINDINGS Of the three specialties, the largest volume of proton pump inhibitor prescriptions, mostly for omeprazole, comes from the orthopaedic specialty (46%). In terms of prescribing costs, at the top is the cardiovascular specialty (45.75%). Lansoprazole, which is one of the proton pump inhibitors on in the national list of essential medicines, contributed most to the cost. Prescribing proton pump inhibitors that are not included in the national list of essential medicines were responsible for over 90% of the costs in the cardiovascular and gastrointestinal specialties. An escalating trend in prescribing varied proton pump inhibitors, that is, esomeprazole, lansoprazole, pantoprazole, dexlansoprazole and rabeprazole, all of which were not on the list of essential medicines, was evident in the latter. CONCLUSIONS The highest volume of proton pump inhibitor prescribing-mostly of omeprazole, was issued by the orthopaedic specialty. The cardiovascular specialty was responsible for the largest amount of cost. The increases in the uses and costs of varying proton pump inhibitors which were outside the national list of essential medicines were notable in the gastrointestinal specialty.

Abstract
Background There are concerns about inappropriate use and insufficient knowledge of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) use among medical staff. Aims This study was designed to examine pharmacy students' and community pharmacists' knowledge, attitude, and practices toward PPIs and their relationship with specific sociodemographic characteristics. Subjects and Methods This descriptive study was conducted on the pharmacy students (first and last year) at Eastern Mediterranean University and community pharmacists in North Cyprus Data were collected by a validated questionnaire, which assessed knowledge, attitude, and practices regarding PPI use. Students were included without sampling in a volunteer-based manner. Registered community pharmacists were selected randomly. Results First-year pharmacy students (n = 77) showed significantly lower knowledge levels than last-year students (12.00 vs. 13.65; P < 0.001); however, there was no significant difference between last-year students (n = 111) and community pharmacists (n = 59). First-year pharmacy students were significantly less aware of PPIs' "dosage and administration" than the other two groups. Last-year students and community pharmacists exhibited significantly higher attitude scores regarding PPI use (24.7 and 24.6 vs. 22.7; P < 0.001). Omeprazole was found to be the most preferred PPI among the three studied populations. Community pharmacists used PPIs mainly to treat acid reflux. Gender, nationality, and pharmacy education program type did not influence pharmacy students' knowledge, attitude, or practices. Conclusions There was not a significant difference regarding knowledge and attitude between the last-year pharmacy students and community pharmacists. The practices of community pharmacists were significantly different from the pharmacy students. It was concluded that certain essential topics regarding PPI use should be emphasized in pharmacy education and during pharmacy practice. Further, it is essentially important for community pharmacists to continue their education through training programs after graduation to enhance their knowledge of PPI use.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIM The study was designed to detect novel Adverse Events (AEs) of pantoprazole by disproportionality analysis in the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) database of Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) using Data Mining Algorithms (DMAs). Pantoprazole, the most commonly over-utilized Over The Counter (OTC) medication, was selected to assess any short-term or long-term AEs. The study aimed to analyze the novel adverse events of pantoprazole using the FAERS database. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective case/non-case disproportionality analysis was performed in the FAERS database. This study was based on AEs reported to FAERS from 2006Q1-2021Q3. Openvigil 2.1 was used for data extraction. Reporting Odds Ratio (ROR), Proportional Reporting Ratio (PRR), and Information Component (IC) were applied to measure the disproportionality in reporting. A value of ROR-1.96SE > 1, PRR ≥ 2, and IC-2SD > 0 were considered as the threshold for a positive signal. RESULTS A total of 1050 reports of dyspepsia, 7248 reports of hypocalcemia and 995 reports of hyponatremia were identified. A potential positive signal for dyspepsia (ROR-1.96SE = 2.231, PRR = 2.359, IC-2SD = 1.13), hypocalcemia (4.961, 5.45, 2.23) and hyponatremia (3.948, 4.179, 1.92) were identified for pantoprazole. CONCLUSION Data mining in the FAERS database produced three potential signals associated with pantoprazole. As a result, further clinical surveillance is needed to quantify and validate potential hazards associated with pantoprazole-related adverse events.

(De)Prescribing of proton pump inhibitors: what has changed in recent years? an observational regional study from the French health insurance database. BMC PRIMARY CARE 2022; 23:341. [PMID: 36582006 PMCID: PMC9800230 DOI: 10.1186/s12875-022-01941-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/22/2022] [Accepted: 12/05/2022] [Indexed: 12/31/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are one of the most widely prescribed drug classes in the community and at hospital. The significant misuse of PPIs requires the implementation for a deprescribing strategy. Numerous studies aiming at evaluating the impact of deprescribing interventions have been set up, implying a precisely known evolution of consumption of PPIs in the population studied without intervention. The main objective of the study was to study overall changes in PPI prescribing and deprescribing in a regional population of chronic consumers without intervention, according to health insurance databases. METHODS This historical cohort study was based on the French National Health Data System databases. All adult patients living in the Pays de la Loire area and covered by the French National Health Insurance and who had at least one reimbursement for a PPI dispensing between 01 October 2016 and 31 December 2020 were included. Only chronic consumer patients were included, defined as patients who has had PPI dispensed for 3 consecutive months with a temporal coverage of at least 80%. Patients under 18 years of age and patients who received parenteral PPIs only were excluded. RESULTS The percentage of chronic treatment discontinuation in 2017 was 12.5% and remained stable to reach 12.4% in 2020. The number of new chronic patients increased from year to year to reach 77,222 patients in 2020, with an increasing rate of 1.2 to 2% between 2017 and 2020. The prevalent patient population increased from year to year to reach 167 751 patients in 2020, with an increasing rate of 4.2 to 4.4% between 2017 and 2020. Regarding the initiation of PPI therapy, in 2020, 87.1% of treatment initiations were done by general practitioners. They renewed 2,402,263 prescriptions (89.3%) between 2017 and 2020. CONCLUSIONS This study shows a stagnation over the last 4 years in the deprescribing of chronic PPI treatments in a French region despite the information on their inappropriate use reported by national agencies and in the literature with increasing frequency. This reinforces the interest of setting up a deprescribing project.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Overtreatment with proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients continues to grow. We aimed to investigate the frequency of PPI prophylaxis without an appropriate indication in AIS patients in China and clarify the association between PPI prophylaxis and long-term prognosis. METHODS Based on a multicenter stroke registry database, neurological outcomes, stroke events, recurrent ischemic strokes, and all-cause death were compared between patients with and without PPI prophylaxis. RESULTS A total of 4542 AIS were included, and 3335 (73.4%) received PPI prophylaxis. Patients with PPI prophylaxis were more likely to have a poor outcome at 1 year than those without PPI prophylaxis (33.3% vs. 25.8%, OR 1.321; 95% CI 1.102-1.584; p = 0.003). No significant differences were found in all-cause death, stroke event, or recurrent ischemic stroke at 1 year between the two groups. After propensity score matching, PPI prophylaxis was still independently associated with a higher rate of poor outcome (30.9% vs. 25.8%, OR 1.432; 95% CI 1.151-1.780; p = 0.001). Sensitivity analysis also showed that PPI prophylaxis increased the rate of a poor outcome in minor strokes or at different durations of PPI prophylaxis. CONCLUSIONS Approximately 3/4 of AIS patients were given PPI prophylaxis during hospitalization, which was associated with a poor long-term outcome.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is an increasing interest in inappropriate proton pump inhibitors prescription (InPPIp), as defined by the National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE) guidelines. AIMS To evaluate the rate, trend over time and factors associated with InPPIp upon discharge from internal medicine departments. METHODS We evaluated patients discharged from internal medicine departments with a PPI prescription in 2014 and 2017 at an academic referral center according to a developed algorithm. RESULTS A total of 3,982 patients were included (50.8% women, 74% ≥ 65 years). The rate of InPPIp was 44.3% (95% CI 42.8-45.9) for the entire cohort; 68.1% for subjects aged < 65 years and 36.0% for those aged ≥ 65 years (p<0.001); 43.2% in 2014 and 45.6% in 2017 (p = 0.130). In a decision-tree analysis, after the exclusion of 448 patients with gastrointestinal indications, 89.4% (1,580/1,766) of all InPPIp cases were of patients without dual antiplatelet treatment (DAPT) and 8.6% (151/1,766) were of patients younger than 65 years, who were taking aspirin. CONCLUSIONS The rate of InPPIp is high, especially among patients not receiving DAPT and young patients taking aspirin. Time trend analysis showed no improvement over time. Our algorithm may serve as an automated quality measuring tool to reduce InPPIp.

Characteristics and Patterns of Proton Pump Inhibitors Prescribing at the Primary Health Care. MEDICINA (KAUNAS, LITHUANIA) 2022; 58:medicina58111622. [PMID: 36363579 PMCID: PMC9694018 DOI: 10.3390/medicina58111622] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/11/2022] [Revised: 11/01/2022] [Accepted: 11/02/2022] [Indexed: 11/12/2022]
Abstract
Background and objectives: the aim of this study was to analyse the utilisation of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) during a 12-year period and to show the characteristics and patterns of their prescribing. Materials and methods: firstly, in the pharmacoepidemiological analyses the ATC/DDD methodology was used to assess the utilisation of PPIs in the Republic of Srpska. The annual PPI utilisation was expressed as a number of DDD/1000 inhabitants/year. Secondly, the cross-sectional surveys were used to reveal the characteristics of PPIs prescribing and medicines use, namely the dose, duration and indication, and possible adverse reactions. For the purposes of the surveys, the adapted version of questionnaires related to physicians’ and patients’ perspectives of medicines prescribing and use were performed. Results: the utilisation of medicines for alimentary tract and metabolism (group A/ATC classification) increased by almost threefold in a 12-year period, which was consistent with the total medicine utilisation. Pantoprazole was the most prescribed medicine among the PPIs. With the exclusion of PPIs in the therapy of Helicobacter pylori eradication, more than half of family physicians prescribed PPIs with antibiotics, and only 53/239 physicians, noticed some adverse reactions of PPIs in their patients. Most of the patients knew how to use PPIs and were taking these medicines in recommended daily doses, but approximately 45% of them were using PPIs for a long period of time (>6 months). Conclusions: the overuse of PPIs is a major concern due to potential serious adverse reactions, especially in elderly patients and in a case of prolonged exposure.

Abstract
Abstract
Purpose
We evaluated the use of the PPI treatment by physicians in older adults hospitalized in a long-term care unit.
Methods
We included 40 patients aged 65 years or older with a lansoprazole prescription hospitalized in long-term care unit from January 2018 to January 2022. Patient characteristics, gastroduodenal history, dose of lansoprazole, indication, days of prescription, and number of medications were collected from electronic patient records.
Results
The mean age of patients was 84.2 ± 9.3. Patients were taking between 5 and 24 (mean = 12.7, SD = 4.4) medications overall with 15 patients taking low dose of aspirin (75 mg daily) and 8 patients taking an antiplatelet. Most patients (82.5%) received once-daily lansoprazole treatment, 55% of whom took a dose of 15 mg. Five patients were treated with the maximum dose of lansoprazole 30 mg twice daily. Only seven patients had an appropriate indication. The minimum of treatment time was 3 days and the maximum was 1198 days; moreover, 24 patients (60%) were still in treatment.
Conclusion
Few PPI prescriptions had an indication in the patient’s electronic record. Prescriptions were ongoing with no date of discontinuation or re-evaluation.

Abstract
Aim. To evaluate the advantages of using combined therapy of proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs) and esophagoprotector in comparison with basic therapy of PPIs for 4 weeks based on the results of changes in the endoscopic picture.To compare the effectiveness of 4-week PPI therapy and 4-week combination therapy with PPI and esophagoprotector Alfasoxx (sodium hyaluronate, chondroitin sulfate, poloxomer 407) in patients with erosive esophagitis (EE) of any degree according to the Los Angeles Endoscopic Classification.
Materials and methods. 81 patients with EE AC according to the Los Angeles endoscopic classification (1994) was enrolled in the study on the basis of the clinic of Peter the Great, Mechnikov North-Western State Medical University. By computer randomization, patients were divided into the control group 40 patients (pantoprazole 40 mg 1 time per day) and the intervention group 41 patients (pantoprazole 40 mg 1 time per day + Alfasoxx 1 sachet qid). The therapy was carried out for 4 weeks. In all patients before and after therapy, the frequency and severity of the main symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) were assessed, esophagogastroduodenoscopy was performed.
Results. The advantage of combination therapy over standard PPI monotherapy in patients with EE was revealed. According to the results of the control endoscopy, healing of erosions of the esophageal mucosa was observed in 39 out of 41 (95.1%) patients in the intervention group and 32 out of 39 (82.1%) in the control group. The proportion of patients who showed an improvement in the endoscopic picture before and after treatment for 4 weeks by at least 1 level according to the Los Angeles classification was significantly higher in the comparison group 41 patients (100%), while in the control group 33 patients (85%); p0.009. After treatment, the combination therapy group had a lower incidence (p0.01) and severity of heartburn (p0.01). The same results are demonstrated by combination therapy regarding the symptom belching of air: in the study group after treatment, this symptom occurred less frequently (p=0.014), its severity was significantly less than in the control group (p0.01). There was a statistically significant decrease in the need for on-demand antacid therapy in the study group.
Conclusion. In this study involving 81 patients with erosive GERD, the benefits of combination therapy were demonstrated. The addition of Alfasoxx medical device to PPI therapy increases the clinical and endoscopic efficacy of therapy. This positive effect is associated with the esophagoprotective properties of the drug, based on unique pharmacodynamic characteristics. Combination therapy for GERD is preferred in patients with EE. Studies have shown the expediency of using Alfasoxx in case of insufficient effectiveness of classical acid-suppressive therapy for GERD.

Abstract
ABSTRACT The United States and many other developed nations are in the midst of an opioid crisis, with consequent pressure on prescribers to limit opioid prescribing and reduce prescription opioid misuse. This review addresses prescription opioid misuse for older adult surgical populations. We outline the epidemiology and risk factors for persistent opioid use and misuse in older adults undergoing surgery. We also address screening tools and prescription opioid misuse prevention among vulnerable older adult surgical patients (e.g., older adults with a history of an opioid use disorder), followed by clinical management and patient education recommendations. A significant plurality of older adults engaged in prescription opioid misuse obtain opioid medication for misuse from health providers. Thus, nurses can play a critical role in identifying those older adults at a higher risk for misuse and deliver quality care while balancing the need for adequate pain management against the risk for prescription opioid misuse.

Abstract
Hyperthyroidism and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are common diseases of geriatric cats, and often occur concurrently. Thus, a thorough understanding of the influence of thyroid function on renal function is of significant value for all feline practitioners. Among other effects, hyperthyroidism causes protein catabolism and increases renal blood flow and glomerular filtration rate (GFR). These effects render traditional renal markers insensitive for the detection of CKD in cats with uncontrolled hyperthyroidism. Furthermore, the development of iatrogenic hypothyroidism with over treatment of hyperthyroidism can be detrimental to renal function and may negatively affect long-term survival. This review discusses important diagnostic considerations of feline hyperthyroidism, as well as key treatment modalities, with an emphasis on the use of radioiodine and the importance of post treatment monitoring of thyroid and renal parameters. In Australia, a common curative treatment for cats with benign hyperthyroidism (i.e. thyroid hyperplasia or adenoma) is a fixed dose of orally administered radioiodine, regardless of the serum total thyroxine concentration at the time of diagnosis. This review discusses the long term outcomes of this standard of care in comparison with current, relevant research literature from around the world. Finally, this review explores the use of symmetric dimethylarginine (SDMA) in assessing renal function before and after treatment in hyperthyroid cats. SDMA correlates well with GFR and creatinine in non-hyperthyroid cats, but our understanding of its performance in hyperthyroid cats remains in its infancy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic non-medically indicated PPIs are highly prescribed worldwide. The long-term side effects of PPI must be wisely considered during an extended prescription duration. Our study purpose is to assess the impact of providing patients and physicians with educational guides on the rates of reducing or eliminating PPIs. DESIGN AND METHODS A controlled study targeting adult patients with chronic PPI use was conducted in a family medicine center in Beirut. Block randomization was employed. Patients (n = 140) were equally divided into an intervention group consisting of a patient-oriented informative and motivational leaflet and a control group having the same follow-up without having the leaflet. All participants filled a questionnaire. All participants received a short phone call in 2 and 6 months. An e-mail clarifying the objective of this study was sent to all physicians and supplemented with a PPI deprescribing algorithm. RESULTS At the 6-month follow-up, the rate of participants who talked to treating physicians about their PPI therapy was higher in the intervention group (p-value<0.0001), and the rate of participants who stepped down or off PPI was higher in the intervention group (p-value<0.0001). In participants who stepped down or off PPI, the reported breakthrough symptoms decreased over time (moderate: 24.2%, mild: 35.5%, and nil: 40.3% at 2-month follow-up; and moderate: 0%, mild: 55.4% and nil: 44.6% at 6-month follow-up; p-value<0.0001). CONCLUSION A low-intensity, low-cost, and easily replicable intervention encouraged a significant number of long-term users of PPIs to reduce or stop these medications without causing significant breakthrough symptoms.

Abstract
Introduction Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) have been widely prescribed as a primary treatment for acid-related disorders. A large body of literature reported several adverse outcomes due to PPI therapy, including an increased risk of gastric cancer (GC). Autoimmune atrophic gastritis (AAG) is a chronic inflammatory disorder affecting the oxyntic mucosa, leading to mucosal atrophy, intestinal metaplasia, and reduced gastric acid secretion, up to the possible development of dysplasia and intestinal-type GC. Whether PPI use may increase the GC risk in AAG patients has not yet been investigated. We conducted a case–control study in AAG patients to assess the association between the PPI use before AAG diagnosis and the development of GC at follow-up (FU). Materials and Methods Patients were included from a prospective cohort of AAG patients (diagnosed 1992–2021) in a referral center for gastric autoimmunity; all patients adhered to an endoscopic–histological FU program according to Management of precancerous conditions and lesions in the stomach (MAPS) I/II (management of epithelial precancerous conditions) guidelines. At diagnosis, clinical/biochemical data and PPI use before AAG diagnosis (withdrawn at the time of diagnosis), for at least 12 months, were evaluated. Patients who developed gastric neoplastic lesions (GNLs) at FU were considered as cases; patients without a diagnosis of GNLs at FU were considered as controls. At a total FU of 2.3 years (1–13), 35 cases were identified, and controls were matched 2:1 by age ( ± 3 years), gender, and years of FU (n=70); therefore, a total of n=105 patients were included in the study. Results The proportion of PPI users before AAG diagnosis was significantly higher in cases than in controls (54.3% vs. 18.6%, p<0.001). At logistic regression, considering as a dependent variable the development of GNLs at FU, a positive association was shown for PPI use before AAG diagnosis (OR 9.6, 95%CI 2.3–40.3), while other independent variables as the use of antiplatelets/anticoagulants (OR 2.8, 95%CI 0.7–12.0), age ≥ 50 years (OR 2.0, 95%CI 0.2–18.1), 1st-degree family history for GC (OR 2.4, 95%CI 0.4–15.2), and smoking habit (OR 0.4, 95%CI 0.1–2.1) were not associated. Conclusions PPI use before the diagnosis of AAG appears to considerably increase the risk of subsequent GNL development. Considering the common misuse of PPIs, physicians should regularly reevaluate the appropriateness of ongoing PPI therapy, in particular in patients with a clinical suspicion of or already diagnosed AAG.

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2022; 19:ijerph19148739. [PMID: 35886592 PMCID: PMC9316003 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph19148739] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/31/2022] [Revised: 07/10/2022] [Accepted: 07/12/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
Background: To investigate the association between proton pump inhibitor (PPI) exposure and a risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) among patients with upper gastrointestinal disease (UGID). Method: We conducted a case−control study from Taiwan’s National Health Insurance Research Database between 1998 and 2013. A total of 20,940 patients with T2DM and 20,940 controls were included. The dose of PPIs was categorized according to the cumulative defined daily dose (cDDD). The risk of T2DM was assessed using conditional logistic regression analysis. Result: Compared with cDDD ≤ 30, higher dosage of PPI exposure was associated with an increased risk of T2DM development: cDDD 31−120 (odds ratio [OR]: 1.20, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.13−1.26); cDDD 121−365 (OR: 1.26, 95% CI: 1.19−1.33); and cDDD > 365 (OR: 1.34, 95% CI: 1.23−1.46). Subgroup analysis of individual PPI showed that pantoprazole (OR: 1.14, 95% CI: 1.07−1.21), lansoprazole (OR: 1.08, 95% CI: 1.03−1.12), and omeprazole (OR: 1.11, 95% CI: 1.06−1.16) have a significantly higher risk of T2DM development. Conclusions: A dose-dependent increased risk of T2DM was found among patients with UGID using higher doses of PPIs compared with those with lower doses of these drugs. Further studies are necessary to investigate the underlying pathophysiology of PPIs and T2DM.

The association between proton pump inhibitor use and systemic anti-tumour therapy on survival outcomes in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Br J Clin Pharmacol 2022; 88:3052-3063. [PMID: 35165922 DOI: 10.1111/bcp.15276] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/28/2021] [Revised: 01/22/2022] [Accepted: 02/01/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
AIMS Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are often prescribed to prevent or treat gastrointestinal disease. Whether the combination of systemic anti-tumour therapy and PPIs leads to poor outcomes in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is unclear. This systematic review explored the relationship between PPIs and survival outcomes of patients with advanced NSCLC who are receiving systemic anti-tumour therapy. METHODS We searched studies reporting the overall survival (OS) and/or progression-free survival (PFS) of advanced NSCLC patients who are receiving systemic anti-tumour therapy with or without PPIs on PubMed, EMBASE and the Cochrane Library for literature published prior to 31 August 2021. The meta-analysis used a random effects model to estimate the hazard ratio (HR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) and I2 to assess statistical heterogeneity. Publication bias and sensitivity analysis were performed. RESULTS Fourteen retrospective studies comprising 13 709 advanced NSCLC patients were identified. Subgroup analyses showed that the use of PPI was correlated with the OS or PFS of patients receiving chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy (PPI users' group vs non-users' group: HR for OS = 1.35, 95% CI = 1.21-1.51, P < .00001; HR for PFS = 1.50, 95% CI = 1.25-1.80, P < .0001). Publication bias and sensitivity analyses confirmed that the results were robust. CONCLUSION Meta-analysis demonstrated that PPI use in advanced NSCLC patients who were undergoing systemic anti-tumour therapy was correlated with increased mortality risk. Until results are further confirmed, caution should be applied when administering PPIs and systemic anti-tumour therapy to advanced NSCLC patients.
