title: [Management of patients with Helicobacter pylori-related illness in the ordinary clinical practice. Intermediate results of monitoring program].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  In publication presented the interim results of the observation program with aim to evaluate key aspects of use of anti-Helicobacter therapy, including proton pump inhibitors, bismuth, josamycin and amoxicillin in the treatment of H. pylori-associated diseases in routine clinical practice.

  CONCLUSIONS
  In interim results analysis were included 417 patients, mean age was 44 years. For detection of H. pylori invasive methods were used in 65% patients and non-invasive methods were used 47% patients. For confirmation of eradication non-invasive tests were applied more commonly (74%) than invasive (30%).
