Abstract
Background: The real-world comparative effectiveness study aimed to compare the effectiveness of vonoprazan (VON)-based therapy with high-dose esomeprazole (ESO)-based therapy in the re-eradication of Helicobacter pylori.
Methods: This real-world retrospective study analyzed patients at Nanjing First Hospital undergoing H. pylori re-eradication, who received either vonoprazan-based (VON) or high-dose esomeprazole-based (ESO) quadruple therapy. Both regimens included amoxicillin, furazolidone, and bismuth, administered twice daily for 14 days. Treatment strategies were determined by routine clinical practice, using either culture results or local epidemiological data. Patients were further classified into individualized precision (VON-P, ESO-P) or empirical (VON-E, ESO-E) groups based on real-world clinical decision-making.
Results: The H. pylori re-eradication rates were 89.2% (191/214, 95% CI: 84.4-92.7%) in group ESO and 86.0% (98/114, 95% CI: 78.4-91.2%) in group VON, with no statistically significant difference between groups (P = 0.381). Among patients receiving individualized precision treatment, the re-eradication rates were 87.3% (62/71, 95%CI: 77.6-93.2%) for group ESO-P and 86.9% (53/61, 95% CI: 76.2-93.2%) for group VON-P, with no significant difference observed (P = 0.940). Similarly, for patients undergoing empirical treatment, there was no statistically significant difference in re-eradication rates between group ESO-E and group VON-E (90.2%, 129/143, 95% CI: 84.2-94.1% vs. 84.9%, 45/53, 95% CI: 72.9-92.1%; P = 0.296). Additionally, no significant difference was found between group ESO-E and group ESO-P (90.2%, 129/143, 95% CI: 84.2-94.1% vs. 87.3%, 62/71, 95% CI: 77.6-93.2%; P = 0.521), nor between group VON-E and group VON-P (84.9%, 45/53, 95% CI: 72.9-92.1% vs. 86.9%, 53/61, 76.2-93.2%; P = 0.762).
Conclusions: Both high-dose esomeprazole-containing quadruple therapy and VON-containing quadruple therapy have demonstrated effective as rescue treatments for H. pylori infection. Additionally, antibiotic selection informed by local epidemiological data demonstrated comparable effective to culture-based methods in this cohort, though future large-scale studies are needed to validate its generalizability.

期刊介绍:
Gut Pathogens is a fast publishing, inclusive and prominent international journal which recognizes the need for a publishing platform uniquely tailored to reflect the full breadth of research in the biology and medicine of pathogens, commensals and functional microbiota of the gut. The journal publishes basic, clinical and cutting-edge research on all aspects of the above mentioned organisms including probiotic bacteria and yeasts and their products. The scope also covers the related ecology, molecular genetics, physiology and epidemiology of these microbes. The journal actively invites timely reports on the novel aspects of genomics, metagenomics, microbiota profiling and systems biology.
Gut Pathogens will also consider, at the discretion of the editors, descriptive studies identifying a new genome sequence of a gut microbe or a series of related microbes (such as those obtained from new hosts, niches, settings, outbreaks and epidemics) and those obtained from single or multiple hosts at one or different time points (chronological evolution).
