PP eradication rate for the 7-day treatment
I2 | Effectiveness | 0, 95% LCL | 0, 95% UCL | p | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Average risk ratio (PAC) | 1.35 | 0.82 | 2.23 | ||
Event rate (PAC) (fixed-effects model) | 55.97 (p=0.103) | 0.60 | 0.51 | 0.67 | 0.024 |
Event rate (PAC) (random-effects model) | 0.58 | 0.46 | 0.70 | 0.204 |
Table 8 shows that the 7-day treatment duration was evaluated according to PPI using PAC. The I2 value was 55.97, but was not found to be significant (P=0.103). The eradication rate in the case of the fixed-effects model was 0.60% (95% CI: 51%–67%) and was found to be statistically significant (0.024). The risk ratio was 1.35; however, it was not statistically significant as the confidence intervals included a value of 1. Although the risk ratio with the random-effects model was 0.58 (95% CI: 46%–70%), the confidence intervals were wider and statistically insignificant (p=0.204).
