Acknowledgments
The consensus group thanks Paul Sinclair (Canadian Association of
Gastroenterology [CAG] representative, administrative and technical support)
and Louise Hope and Lesley Marshall (CAG, logistics assistance) as well as
Pauline Lavigne and Steven Portelance (unaf
filiated), who provided medical
writing services supported entirely by funds from CAG and the Canadian
Helicobacter Study Group.
The steering committee (CAF, NC, SVvZ), GIL, and PM reviewed the
literature and drafted the statements. GIL and PM assessed the evidence
and provided GRADE evaluations. All members of the CAG Treatment of H
pylori Infection Consensus Group voted on the recommendations. The
steering committee then drafted the initial manuscript, which was reviewed,
revised, and approved by all members of the consensus group and all
authors. It was subsequently made available to all CAG members for
comments before submission for publication.
CAG Statement
These consensus statements on the treatment of H pylori infection were
developed under the direction of Drs Carlo A. Fallone, Naoki Chiba, and
Sander Veldhuyzen van Zanten, in accordance with the policies and
procedures of CAG and under the direction of CAG Clinical Affairs. They
have been reviewed by the CAG Practice Affairs and Clinical Affairs
Committees and the CAG Board of Directors. The consensus statements
were developed following a thorough consideration of medical literature and
the best available evidence and clinical experience. They represent the
consensus of a Canadian and international panel composed of experts on
this topic. The consensus aims to provide a reasonable and practical
approach to care for specialists and allied health professionals obliged with
the duty of bestowing optimal care to patients and families and can be
subject to change as scienti
fic knowledge and technology advance and as
practice patterns evolve. These consensus statements are not intended to
be a substitute for physicians using their individual judgment in managing
clinical care in consultation with the patient, with appropriate regard to all
the individual circumstances of the patient, diagnostic and treatment options
available, and available resources. Adherence to these recommendations will
not necessarily produce successful outcomes in every case.
