Effect of Helicobacter pylori infection on Non-steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drug (including Acetylsalicylic acid) induced Gastric Damage: A Protector or Disaster? JayaKrishna Chintanaboina MBBS Stanley J Pietrak MD
NSAID-induced Gastric damage • Most commonly used medications • 30 billion OTC pills/year • 70 million prescriptions/year • Bleeding / Perforation- 3-4% users/year • Mortality - 20,000 patients/year
Gastroduodenal mucosal defense Components involved in providing gastroduodenal mucosal defense and repair.
NSAID-induced gastric damage Mechanisms by which NSAIDs may induce mucosal injury
Helicobacter pylori • Barry Marshall and Robin Warren in 2005 • Prevalence in USA – 30% • < 30yrs of age – 10% • < 50yrs of age - 50% • Rate of infection is USA : Declined • Route of transmission • Frank peptic ulceration -10-15%
Risk Factors for H.pylori infection • Birth or residence in a developing country • Low socioeconomic status • Domestic crowding • Unsanitary living conditions • Unclean food or water • Exposure to gastric contents of infected individual
Helicobacter pylori Potential mechanisms by which H. pylori may lead to gastric secretory abnormalities
Diagnostic tests • Radiographic Barium studies • Endoscopy • Tests for detection of H.pylori • Invasive: a) Rapid Urease - 80-95% / 95-100% b) Histology - 80-90% / > 95% c) Culture 2. Non-invasive: a) Serology - >80/>90 % b) Urea breath test - >90/>90 %
Research question • What is the prevalence and effect of Helicobacter pylori infection in/on NSAID (including ASA) induced gastroduodenal damage?

METHODS • Retrospective study • Total of 965 charts reviewed • 345 subjects selected for the study • Variables: Age, Gender, Medical illnesses, Status- NSAID/ H.Pylori / both, severity of gastric damage, PPI status, Endoscopy- indication and results. • SPSS version 17.0
METHODS • Inclusion criteria: • Age : 21- 90yrs • On NSAIDs at the time of endoscopy • H. pylori test positivity • Both • Exclusion criteria: • On Steroids • Gastrointestinal malignancy • Gastric Bypass surgery • Inflammatory bowel disease
METHODS • Grades of GI damage:
METHODS • Rapid Urease Detection • Immunohistochemistry • Biopsy
NSAIDs H. pylori Both
RESULTS • 2/3rd of subjects : 51-80yrs • 60% of subjects: Females • Males: 77% NSAID users • Females: 87% NSIAD users • Prevalence of H.pylori is highest between 71-80yrs • Most common co-morbid condition- HTN • Back pain and OA- about 8% of subjects • MC indication for upper GI endoscopy- Abdominal pain ( 20%)
RESULTS (contd..) 9. Grade III GI damage among NSAID users (H.pylori –ve) : 25.8% 10. Grade III GI damage among Non NSAID users with H.pylori +ve : 29.1% 11. Grade III GI damage among NSAID users with H.pylori +ve : 29.8% 12. Grade III GI damage : NSAID users (on PPi) - 20.8%; NSAID users (not on PPi) - 31.8%
CONCLUSIONS • H.Pylori: Increases with Age • H.pylori infection: Males> Females • NSAIDs: Increased use among elderly females • Gastric damage: Highest grade 3 among NSAID users with H.pylori infection • PPIs are beneficial with NSAIDs
LIMITATIONS • Retrospective study • Single community hospital • Duration of NSAID intake • Lead time bias • Confounding factors
