| 1 | Helicobacter pylori infection in older people显示文摘Since the discovery of Helicobacter pylori(H.pylori)infection as the major cause of gastroduodenal disorders three decades ago,H.pylori has been the focus of active research and debate in the scientific community.Its linkage to several diseases,such as peptic ulcer disease,gastritis and gastric malignancy is incontestable.In particular,it has been noticed that,as the aged population is increasing worldwide,older people are at increased risk of developing several gastroduodenal diseases and related complications.At the same time,gastric cancer is definitely more frequent in elderly than in adult and young people.In addition,it has been showed that peptic ulcer and related complications occur much more commonly in aged individuals than in young people,resulting in a significantly higher mortality.Although this infection plays a crucial role in gastrointestinal disorders affecting all age groups and in particular older people,only a few studies have been published regarding the latter.This article presents an overview of the epidemiology,diagnosis,clinical manifestations and therapy of H.pylori infection in elderly people. | Alberto Pilotto Marilisa Franceschi | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014,20,21: | 6 |
| 2 | Comparison of four proton pump inhibitors for the short-term treatment of esophagitis in elderly patients显示文摘AIM: To compare efficacy and tolerability of four proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) commonly used in the short-term therapy of esophagitis in elderly patients.METHODS: A total of 320 patients over 65 years with endoscopically diagnosed esophagitis were randomly assigned to one of the following treatments for 8 wk: (1) omeprazole 20 mg/d; (2) lansoprazole 30 mg/d; (3) pantoprazole 40 mg/d, or (4) rabeprazole 20 mg/d. Major symptoms, compliance, and adverse events were recorded. After 8 wk, endoscopy and clinical evaluation were repeated.RESULTS: Per protocol and intention to treat healing rates of esophagitis were: omeprazole = 81.0% and 75.0%, lansoprazole = 90.7% (P = 0.143 vs omeprazole) and 85.0%, pantoprazole = 93.5% (P = 0.04 vs omeprazole) and 90.0% (P = 0.02 vs omeprazole), rabeprazole = 94.6% (P = 0.02 vs omeprazole) and 88.8% (P = 0.04 vs omeprazole). Dividing patients according to the grades of esophagitis, omeprazole was significantly less effective than the three other PPIs in healing grade 1 esophagitis (healing rates: 81.8% vs 100%, 100% and 100%, respectively, P = 0.012). Pantoprazole and rabeprazole (100%) were more effective vs omeprazole (89.6%, P = 0.0001)and lansoprazole (82.4%, P = 0.0001) in decreasing heartburn. Pantoprazole and rabeprazole (92.2% and 90.1%, respectively) were also more effective vs lansoprazole (75.0%, P < 0.05) in decreasing acid regurgitation. Finally, pantoprazole and rabeprazole (95.2% and 100%) were also more effective vs lansoprazole (82.6%, P < 0.05) in decreasing epigastric pain.CONCLUSION: In elderly patients, pantoprazole and rabeprazole were significantly more effective than omeprazole in healing esophagitis and than omeprazole or lansoprazole in improving symptoms. H pylori infection did not influence the healing rates of esophagitis after a short-term treatment with PPI. | Alberto Pilotto Marilisa Franceschi Gioacchino Leandro Carlo Scarcelli Luigi Piero D'Ambrosio Francesco Paris Vito Annese Davide Seripa Angelo Andriulli Francesco Di Mario | 2007 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2007,13,33: | 5 |

| 4 | Association of upper gastrointestinal symptoms with functional and clinical characteristics in the elderly显示文摘AIM:To evaluate the prevalence of upper gastrointestinal symptoms and their association with clinical and functional characteristics in elderly outpatients.METHODS:The study involved 3238 outpatients ≥ 60 years consecutively enrolled by 107 general practitioners.Information on social,behavioral and demographic characteristics,function in the activities of daily living (ADL),co-morbidities and drug use were collected by a structured interview.Upper gastrointestinal symptom data were collected by the 15-items upper gastro-intestinal symptom questionnaire for the elderly,a validated diagnostic tool which includes the following five symptom clusters:(1) abdominal pain syndrome;(2) reflux syndrome;(3) indigestion syndrome;(4) bleeding;and (5) non-specific symptoms.Presence and severity of gastrointestinal symptoms were analyzed through a logistic regression model.RESULTS:3100 subjects were included in the final analysis.The overall prevalence of upper gastrointestinal symptoms was 43.0%,i.e.cluster (1) 13.9%,(2) 21.9%,(3) 30.2%,(4) 1.2%,and (5) 4.5%.Upper gastrointestinal symptoms were more frequently reported by females (P < 0.0001),with high number of co-morbidities (P < 0.0001),who were taking higher number of drugs (P < 0.0001) and needed assistance in the ADL.Logistic regression analysis demonstrated that female sex (OR=1.39,95% CI:1.17-1.64),disability in the ADL (OR=1.47,95% CI:1.12-1.93),smoking habit (OR=1.29,95% CI:1.00-1.65),and body mass index (OR=1.06,95% CI:1.04-1.08),as well as the presence of upper (OR=3.01,95% CI:2.52-3.60) and lower gastroenterological diseases (OR=2.25,95%CI:1.70-2.97),psychiatric (OR=1.60,95% CI:1.28-2.01) and respiratory diseases (OR=1.25,95% CI:1.01-1.54) were significantly associated with the presence of upper gastrointestinal symptoms.CONCLUSION:Functional and clinical characteristics are associated with upper gastrointestinal symptoms.A multidimensional comprehensive evaluation may be useful when approaching upper gastrointestinal symptoms in older subjects. | Alberto Pilotto Stefania Maggi Marianna Noale Marilisa Franceschi Giancarlo Parisi Gaetano Crepaldi | 2011 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2011,17,25: | 3 |
