ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the efficacy, safety and economy of pantoprazole and omeprazole in treating duodenal ulcer. Methods:PubMed, the Cochrane Library, CNKI, WanFang Data, VIP and SinoMed were electronically searched to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of pantoprazole and omeprazole for duodenal ulcers from 2006 to 2017. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of included studies. Meta analysis was performed by RevMan 5.2 software, and the decision tree model was selected for cost benefit analysis. Results:A total of 11 RCTs involving 1 116 patients were included. The results of Meta analysis showed that pantoprazole had a better cure rate for 2 week ulcers than omeprazole (OR=2.60, 95%CI 1.17 to 5.78, P=0.02), and two drugs had a similar cure rate for 4 weeks (OR=1.41, 95%CI 0.69 to 2.88, P=0.34), pantoprazole’s abdominal pain loss time was shorter than omeprazole (SMD=-0.74, 95%CI -0.89 to -0.59, P<0.05); the pain disappearance rate of pantoprazole after 3 days was more effective in relieving the pain symptoms of duodenal ulcer (OR=2.04, 95%CI 1.09 to 3.84, P=0.03), which was more effective than omeprazole; the incidence of adverse reactions showed that pantoprazole had adverse reactions (OR=0.50, 95%CI 0.24 to 1.02, P=0.06), and the safety was comparable to that of omeprazole. However, according to economic results, omeprazole was more advantageous than tolozole. Conclusion:Current evidence showed that the curative effect and adverse drug reaction rate of pantoprazole and omeprazole in treating duodenal ulcer was basically equal. Pantoprazole can improve abdominal pain relief and pain symptoms disappear. Pantoprazole was prohibited for patients with hepatic and renal insufficiency. The treatment cost of pantoprazole was higher than that of omeprazole. Which drugs could be chosen according to the actual situation of the patient. Due to limited quality and quantity of the included studies, more high quality studies are required to verify the above conclusion. |
