Abstract

The outcome of Helicobacter pylori infection management in senior patients is often evaluated as unsatisfactory. That is why determination of prognostic factors of effectiveness of anti-helicobacter therapy in such patients seems plausible. We studied prognostic factors determining the effectiveness of Helicobacter pylori elimination and revealed poor patients’ compliance with therapy requirements, antibiotic resistance, smoking, alcohol abuse, imbalanced diet.

Keywords

prognosis, effectiveness, antihelicobacterial therapy, patients of the senior age groups.
