Prescribing Patterns of Proton Pump Inhibitors in Germany: A Retrospective Study Including 472  146 Patients

This study highlights that discrepancies exist between clinical guidelines and real-life prescribing practices of PPIs in Germany. Particular attention should be given to the incidence of patients being prescribed high-dose or long-duration PPI with mild indications. These findings are particularly apt considering the publication (March 2023) of new guidelines on the "management of gastroesophageal reflux disease and eosinophilic esophagitis," by the DGVS.PMID:38142444 | PMC:PMC10749518 | DOI:10.1177/21501319231221002
