Abstract

During the 5-year period between 1990 and 1994, we surveyed, on the basis of medical records, the rnanagement status of maintenance therapy in 2, 612 patients receivint drug therapy for peptic ulcer. The following results were obtained.1) About 90% of the patients were receiving maintenance therapy.2) A combination of drugs (an H2-receptor antagonist+cytoprotective agents) was administered to most patients.3) There was a correlation between age and drug compliance and the duration of maintenance therapy: patients in the younger age groups tended to have poorer compliance and shorter duration of maintenance therapy.4) Maintenance therapy had an unsuccessful outcome in about 25% of patients, as demonstrated by endoscopic evidence of worsening in the process of maintenance therapy or relapse after the same therapy.5) About 60%of the patients discontinued maintenance therapy. The main reasons were discontinuation of therapy by patient's own judgement and inadequate management of maintenance therapy by physicians. These findings indicated substantial problems on the management of maintenance therapy in patients with peptic ulcer.
