Zusammenfassung
Einleitung: Die klinische Betreuung von Patienten vor oder während einer Therapie mit traditionellen nicht steroidalen Antirheumatika (tNSAR) oder Aspirin (ASS) unterliegt durch kontinuierlich neue Studiendaten und Leitlinienveröffentlichungen einem steten Wandel. Ziel dieser Umfrage war eine Standortbestimmung zum Vorgehen in der individuellen klinischen Praxis. Methoden: 965 Mitglieder der Vereinigung bayerischer Internisten (BDI) wurden zur Teilnahme an einer schriftlichen Umfrage eingeladen. Der Erhebungsbogen umfasste 12 Fragen zu verschiedenen klinischen Szenarien im Hinblick auf eine gastroduodenale Ulkuserkrankung in Verbindung mit tNSAR, ASS und Helicobacter pylori (Hp). Im Besonderen wurde das Vorgehen zur Prophylaxe vor dem Beginn einer Therapie mit tNSAR/ASS bei Patienten mit Ulkusanamnese erfragt. Ergebnisse: Der Rücklauf betrug 23,3 % (n = 225). Über 80 % der Ärzte gaben an, eine langfristige Therapie mit Protonenpumpenhemmern (PPI) bei Patienten mit Hp-negativen, tNSAR-/ASS-assoziierten Ulzera zu initiieren. Dagegen würden 20 % der antwortenden Ärzte tNSAR gegen COX-2-Hemmer oder Opioide bzw. 17,8 % ASS gegen Clopidogrel austauschen. Das Vorgehen bei Hp-positiven Ulzera war insbesondere bei einer gleichzeitigen Medikation mit tNSAR oder ASS sehr heterogen. Dies umfasste eine alleinige Hp-Eradikation, eine Eradikation und langzeitige PPI-Therapie, Eradikation und Austausch von ASS gegen Clopidogrel bzw. den Wechsel von tNSAR auf COX-2-Inhibitoren. Schlussfolgerung: Diese Untersuchung zeigt deutliche individuelle Unterschiede bei der klinischen Umsetzung prophylaktischer Maßnahmen bei gastroduodenalen Ulzera auf.
Abstract
Objective: Rapidly growing information on adverse gastrointestinal effects of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and Helicobacter pylori (Hp) causes continuous changes in clinical patient management. Decisions on the prevention of gastroduodenal ulcers in individual patients often do not follow guidelines. We aimed to assess the current management of gastroduodenal ulcers by internists in southern Germany. Methods: All 965 members of the Association of Bavarian Internists, a German province with about 8000 internists, were invited to participate in answering a 12-item questionnaire. The questions addressed different clinical scenarios regarding ulcer disease associated with traditional NSAIDs (tNSAIDs), aspirin and Hp. Particularly, we asked for the clinical approach to patients with NSAID-/aspirin-associated ulcers and prophylactic measures before the beginning of a potentially ulcerogenic medication. Results: N = 225 (23.3 %) physicians returned completed questionnaires. In patients with Hp-negative, NSAID-/aspirin-associated ulcers, > 80 % of respondents would initiate long-term proton pump inhibitor (PPI) therapy, whereas 20 % and 17.8 % would prescribe COX-2 selective inhibitors or opiates instead of non-selective NSAIDs and clopidogrel instead of aspirin. The management of Hp-positive ulcers, especially in cases with additional use of aspirin or NSAIDs, was very heterogenous, including Hp-eradication only, eradication + long-term PPI, eradication + clopidogrel or COX-2-inhibitors/opiates. Conclusion: This survey depicts individual discrepancies in the clinical management of patients receiving NSAIDs and/or aspirin, regarding the prophylaxis of gastroduodenal ulcer disease.
