AbstractAim/Objective: To compare the effectiveness of high-dose versus low-dose H2RAs in the primary prophylaxis of NSAID-associated clinical GIUs among NSAID new-users in Hong Kong during 2009-2012. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted using Hong Kong Hospital Authority Clinical Data Analysis & Reporting System. Both records of new adult patients (18 years or older) who had only one prescription of NSAID+H2RA (exposure) and diagnosis code(s) of GIUs (event) during study period (2009-2012) were retrieved. Patients who were ever diagnosed with at least one of: GIUs, Helicobacter pylori infection, or who had ever received NSAIDs+H2RAs or NSAIDs+PPIs or had gastrointestinal endoscopy procedures in the screening period (2007-2008) were excluded. The high dose of H2RAs was defi ned as double the standard dose or higher, and the low dose was defi ned as lower than double dose (according to British National Formulary 63). The adjusted relative risk of GIUs during NSAID+high-dose-H2RA versus NSAID+low-dose-H2RA treatment was calculated. Microsoft Excel and Statistical Analysis System (SAS) v9.3 (SAS Inc., United States) were used for data manipulation and analysis. Results: A total of 102,042 patients had only one prescription of NSAIDs and were co-prescribed with H2RAs during 2009-2012. Among these patients, there were 77,509 patients on NSAID+low-dose-H2RA treatment and 24,533 patients on NSAID+high-dose- H2RA treatment. Of the total 70 GIUs events during study period, 65 GIUs events were found during NSAID+low-dose-H2RA treatment and 5 GIUs events were found during NSAID+high-dose-H2RA treatment. The adjusted relative risk for patients receiving NSAID+highdose- H2RA versus NSAID+low-dose-H2RA was 0.32 (95%CI 0.13-0.79). Conclusion: Our study support superior effectiveness of high-dose versus low-dose H2RAs in preventing NSAID-associated endoscopic GIUs. Further study involving international patient data will further inform on the place of high-dose H2RAs in clinical management.
