dc.description.abstractObjectives: Because the Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection has been the most seen infection in the world, many research studies have been conducted to find an effective therapy regimen for eradication. Long-term regimens are being replaced by short term regimens as the long-term therapies cause more side effects and patient adjustment is not easy. Our aim was to determine the efficacy of a short-term therapy regimen and patient satisfaction by conducting a telephone survey 18 months after completion of the therapy regimen. Materials and Methods: The patients with upper gastrointestinal system complaints who had presented to the gastroenterology day clinic in Ankara Numune Hospital were chosen for this study. They were evaluated, taking into account their historical, physical, laboratory, endoscopic, and histopathological findings. Patients who were found with Helicobacter pylori, but had no other symptoms or disorders, were given a two-day amoxicillin, ornidazole, and tribismuthsubcitrate therapy after a five-day lansoprazole therapy. The evaluation was repeated one month after the regimen. In addition, a telephone survey was conducted 18 months after eradication, and the patients whose upper gastrointestinal system complaints were completely eradicated were asked if they had any additional upper gastrointestinal system complaints during this 18-month interval. Results: We applied the eradication therapy to 36 people. Complete eradication was obtained in 31 of the 36 patients. For the follow up telephone survey, we could not reach five of the patients due to changes in their address and/or telephone numbers; 15 patients indicated that they had not taken any drug; and 12 patients had no complaints during this 18-month period. Six patients received H2 receptor blocker irregularly, and five patients had taken our regimen once again on their own. All of the patients reached during the 18-month follow-up stated that they were satisfied with the therapy. Conclusion: Our regimen appears to relieve symptoms for a long time and it is considered to be effective from our patients' viewpoints.
