Clinical Trial Summary

Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) inappropriate use, in patients with cirrhosis, presents a significant clinical challenge. This study evaluates overprescription and misuse of PPIs in cirrhotic patients. The patterns of use of PPIs will be classified into two groups based on adherence to the proven indications: Group A: Inappropriate use of PPI, Group B: Appropriate use of PPI. We will estimate the prevalence of PPI misuse in cirrhotics and correlate it with different factors.


Clinical Trial Description

The inappropriate use of PPIs in cirrhosis patients is a growing concern. Evidence supporting the use of PPIs in cirrhosis-related conditions is limited. Several adverse outcomes have been linked to PPI use in cirrhosis, including an increased risk of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis and hepatic encephalopathy. The study aimed to assess the appropriateness of prescribing PPIs to patients with cirrhosis, examining its impact on prescribing practices and identifying associated factors. in this observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study, cirrhotic patients receiving proton pump inhibitors will be included in the study. Enrolled patients will classified according to the indication for PPI administration: Group A: Inappropriate use of PPI, Group B: Appropriate use of PPI. Use of PPI will be considered inappropriate when prescribed without approved indication or used for a prolonged period beyond the recommended duration. The prevalence of PPI misuse in cirrhotics will be estimated and multivariate analyses will be conducted in order to identify independent predictors of inappropriate use of PPI. ;
