幽门螺杆菌仍然是世界范围内的一个主要健康问题，导致消化性溃疡病和胃癌造成相当大的发病率和死亡率。这些指南是对 2014 年发布的《幽门螺杆菌感染诊断和管理建议》的更新。它们是由波兰胃肠病学会理事会组织的工作组制定的。他们讨论了，特别强调涵盖 2014 年以来发表的论文的新科学数据：流行病学、临床表现、诊断原则和诊断标准，以及幽门螺杆菌感染的治疗建议。该指南特别确定了哪些患者需要接受感染检测和治疗。工作组还讨论了推荐的治疗算法。因此，结合现有证据和基于共识的专家意见来制定这些最佳实践建议声明。值得注意的是，指南不是强制性实施的，但它们根据既定的关键治疗原则，并利用当地知识和可用资源来指导区域实践，为务实、相关和可实现的诊断和治疗途径提供建议。版权所有 © 2023 Termedia。

Helicobacter pylori remains a major health problem worldwide, causing considerable morbidity and mortality due to peptic ulcer disease and gastric cancer. These guidelines constitute an update of the previous "Recommendations on the diagnosis and management of Helicobacter pylori infection" issued in 2014. They have been developed by a Task Force organized by the Governing Board of the Polish Society of Gastroenterology. They discuss, with particular emphasis on new scientific data covering papers published since 2014: the epidemiology, clinical presentation, diagnostic principles and criteria for the diagnosis, and recommendations for the treatment of H. pylori infection. The guidelines in particular determine which patients need to be tested and treated for infection. The Task Force also discussed recommended treatment algorithms. Accordingly, a combination of available evidence and consensus-based expert opinion were used to develop these best practice advice statements. It is worth noting that guidelines are not mandatory to implement but they offer advice for pragmatic, relevant and achievable diagnostic and treatment pathways based on established key treatment principles and using local knowledge and available resources to guide regional practice.Copyright © 2023 Termedia.
