Meta‐analysis: the effect of supplementation with probiotics on eradication rates and adverse events during Helicobacter pylori eradication therapy
Open accessAbstract
Summary: Background: Recent evidence found probiotics could inhibit Helicobacter pylori colonization from both in vitro and in vivo studies. Aim: To systematically evaluate whether adding probiotics to anti‐H. pylori regimens could improve eradication rates and reduce side effects during anti‐H. pylori treatment. Methods: Eligible articles were identified by searches of electronic databases. We included all randomized trials comparing probiotics supplementation to placebo or no treatment during anti‐H. pylori regimens. Statistical analysis was performed with Review Manager 4.2.8. Subanalysis/Sensitivity analysis was also performed. Results: We identified 14 randomized trials (n = 1671). Pooled H. pylori eradication rates were 83.6% (95% CI = 80.5–86.7%) and 74.8% (95% CI = 71.1–78.5%) for patients with or without probiotics by intention‐to‐treat analysis, respectively, the odds ratio (OR) was 1.84 (95% CI = 1.34–2.54); the occurrence of total side effects were 24.7% (95% CI = 20.0–29.4%) and 38.5% (95% CI = 33.0–44.1%) for groups with or without probiotics, especially for diarrhoea, the summary OR was 0.44 (95% CI = 0.30–0.66). Conclusions: Our review suggests that supplementation with probiotics could be effective in increasing eradication rates of anti‐H. pylori therapy, and could be considered helpful for patients with eradication failure. Furthermore, probiotics show a positive impact on H. pylori therapy‐related side effects.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
