Abstract

Gastrointestinal injury by nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) occurs through different mechanisms. If these two factors coexist, the risk of gastrointestinal injury increases independently, sometimes synergistically by the two factors. In high-risk patients who require NSAID administration, it is recommended that H. pylori infection is examined, and then eradication therapy is done for patients with H. pylori infection to prevent peptic ulcer. For initial NSAID (excluding aspirin) users and long-term aspirin users with a history of peptic ulcer complications, tests for H. pylori infection and eradication therapy in the presence of H. pylori infection are recommended. In countries where the incidence of H. pylori infection is high, such as Korea, prevention and treatment strategies for NSAID users with H. pylori infection should differ from those in Western countries. Long-term multicenter studies that consider the current clinical situation are necessary in the future.
