Table 3.
Eradication Rate, % (n) (95% Confidence Interval) | Per-protocol* Analysis | Intention-to-treat Analysis |
---|---|---|
Patients with posttreatment value of urea breath test <&=15 | 93.8 (30/32) (83.2 to 100) | 83.3 (30/36) (71.2 to 95.4) |
Patients with posttreatment value of urea breath test >15 | 73.3 (22/30) (57.8 to 89.1) | 64.7 (22/34) (48.7 to 80.7) |
This indicates that there was a significant difference of H. pylori eradication rates between the 2 study groups by both per-protocol analysis and intention-to-treat analysis (P <.05).
