Table 4.

Effectiveness of HDDT rescue treatment with and without bismuth.

	ITT n/N (%)	p *	PP n/N (%)	p *	mITT n/N (%)	p *
With B	4/13 (30.8%)	0.344	4/12 (33.3%)	0.286	4/13 (30.8%)	0.212
Without B	13/28 (46.4%)	0.344	13/25 (52%)	0.286	13/25 (52%)	0.212

B, bismuth; HDDT, high-dose dual therapy; ITT, intention to treat; mITT, modified intention to treat; n: number of patients with H. pylori infection cured; N, number of patients treated; PP, per protocol. * Adding bismuth to HDDT showed no statistically significant association with a higher eradication rate in the rescue treatment. The Chi-square test was used at a significance level of p < 0.005.
