Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Among of HIV-co-infected individuals: Rate of first-line HP treatment failure (defined by a positive urea breath test performed at least 6 weeks after the treatment completion and 3 weeks after withdrawal of proton pump inhibitors) | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Information collected from the patient during the study: 1. Types of first-line HP treatment 2. Demographics and clinical parameters 3. Immune function Exploratory outcome measures: 1. Type, duration, year of HP treatment will be collected and recorded at the beginning of the treatment using Excel file 2. Demographics: age measured in years, gender and ethnicity, based on the patient’s self-identification and geographic area of origin, and if necessary using hospital administrative database, body mass index measured in kg/m2, alcohol and tobacco habits measured using binary response. Co-medication evaluated by anamnesis, medical file and data provided by the family doctor. Those parameters will be collected at the time of HP infection treatment initiation. Adverse effects, tolerability will be collected “on” treatment using adapted questionnaire from de Boer W.A et al (1996): type and severity and ability to interfere with daily activity and treatment continuation. Compliance will be assessed by counting the pills returned by the patients after ending therapy 3. Immune function notably lymphocyte T CD4 count (measured using flow cytometry, NAVIOS) and HIV viral load (measured using COBAS® AmpliPrep/COBAS® TaqMan® HIV-1 Test, v2.0 real time PCR), and HIV treatment data (composition, duration) will be collected at or close to the time of HP infection treatment initiation 4. Outcome: will be evaluated mainly by urea breath (using mass spectometry), eventually by microbiology and pathology examination of gastric samples, each performed at least 6 weeks after the withdrawal of antibiotics and 3 weeks after withdrawal of proton pump inhibitors | — |
