🦠💔Bugged After the Heartbreak? Does H. pylori Screening After MI Prevent GI Bleeds?
Manage episode 504259010 series 2740117
🚨 New Findings from the HELP-MI Trial! 🇸🇪🧪
Can routine Helicobacter pylori screening during acute myocardial infarction (MI) hospitalization prevent upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB)?
💉 Over 18,000 patients across 35 Swedish hospitals
📉 Result: No significant reduction in UGIB overall (RR 0.90; P=0.18)
🔍 BUT: Clear benefit in patients with anemia (RR 0.44–0.64) and chronic kidney disease (RR 0.75)
🧠 Key Takeaway: Routine screening isn’t broadly warranted—but targeted testing in high-risk AMI patients may be the smarter path forward.
