Abstract

Background

Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists delay gastric emptying and are used for the treatment of diabetes (DM) and obesity. Successful treatment of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection depends upon a precise dosing schedule. We aimed to examine the impact of GLP-1 drugs on antibiotic treatment for H. pylori.

Methods

Adults with a new diagnosis of H. pylori infection who received treatment between 2014 and 2023 were identified in the Clalit Health Services database. Subjects were divided into groups based on diagnoses of DM and obesity, and exposure to GLP-1 drugs. A 1:2 propensity-score matched dataset was used to determine the effect of GLP-1 drugs on eradication success.

Results

We identified 426 individuals who received, and 36,436 who did not receive GLP-1 drugs. Eradication among those who did and did not receive GLP-1 drugs was 86.6% and 83.7%, respectively (p = 0.059 across subgroups). Eradication among those who received semaglutide was 93.8% (OR 2.78, 95% CI 1.32–5.83, p = 0.007). Eradication in subjects who received dulaglutide (88.6%) or liraglutide (81.4%) was not significantly changed. When applying a propensity-score-adjusted analysis, eradication remained significantly increased among individuals who received semaglutide (OR 2.89, 95% CI 1.24–6.74, p = 0.014). Additional independent predictors of successful eradication included male sex, high socioeconomic status, quadruple therapy, and older age (p < 0.001 for all).

Conclusions

Co-administration of semaglutide and antibiotics for H. pylori infection is associated with an increased likelihood of successful eradication.

期刊介绍： Helicobacter is edited by Professor David Y Graham. The editorial and peer review process is an independent process. Whenever there is a conflict of interest, the editor and editorial board will declare their interests and affiliations. Helicobacter recognises the critical role that has been established for Helicobacter pylori in peptic ulcer, gastric adenocarcinoma, and primary gastric lymphoma. As new helicobacter species are now regularly being discovered, Helicobacter covers the entire range of helicobacter research, increasing communication among the fields of gastroenterology; microbiology; vaccine development; laboratory animal science.
