BACKGROUND: Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a common condition, and acid-suppressing agents are the mainstays of treatment. For the acute medical management of GERD, two different strategies can be proposed: either the most effective therapy, i.e., proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs), can be given first, or histamine H2-receptor antagonists (H2RAs) can be attempted first (the "step-up" approach).
METHODS: A clinical decision analysis comparing the PPI-first strategy and the H2RA-first "step-up" strategy for the acute treatment of reflux esophagitis in Japan was performed, using a Markov chain approach.
RESULTS: The PPI-first strategy was consistently superior to the step-up strategy with regard to clinical outcomes for the patient and with regard to cost-effectiveness (direct cost per patient to achieve clinical success). This superiority was robust within the plausible range of probabilities according to the sensitivity analyses.
CONCLUSIONS: The PPI-first strategy is superior to the H2RA-first "step-up" strategy with regard to both efficacy and cost-effectiveness and therefore, the PPI-first strategy is the preferred therapeutic approach for the acute medical treatment of reflux esophagitis.
