Conference report: duodenal ulcer trials reported at the European Helicobacter pylori Study Group, Edinburgh 1995

The abstracts from the 8th International Workshop on Gastro-duodenal Pathology and Helicobacter pylori held in Edinburgh, 7-9 July 1995, are published in Gut 1995; 37 (Suppl. 7). I was privileged to act as reporter to the Plenary Workshop on Duodenal Ulcer Trials chaired by Prof. Seppala. Prof. Roy Pounder and I felt that in such a fast moving field as Helicobacter pylori there would be some merit in briefly reviewing the eight excellent papers presented at the Workshop. The main reason for this being that six of the presentations were well conducted randomized prospective clinical trials of H. pylori eradication therapy and the other two had important clinical messages.
