ClinicalTrials.gov · COMPLETED, 2023

75 participants

Abstract

Our study aims to investigate the effect of bacterial overgrowth induced by long-term PPI use on zonulin levels.

Conditions: Proton Pump Inhibitor Adverse Reaction.

Primary outcome: Zonulin levels in long-term proton pump inhibitor users.

Enrollment: 75 participants.

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a clinical trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 3 of 5 (Moderate · trial / cohort / secondary analysis). Trials without a large randomized design, cohorts and secondary analyses give moderate evidence. Reported size: 75 participants or records.

How the five levels of evidence work. The level is assigned automatically from the abstract and can be wrong, so check the paper.
