Our aims were 1) to study the influence of several factors (age, sex, smoking, previous ulcer disease, ulcer size, chronic gastritis, serum gastrin and pepsinogen I levels, therapy regimen and, especially, eradication of Helicobacter pylori) on duodenal ulcer healing; 2) to evaluate the frequency of duodenal ulcer healing failure despite eradication of H. pylori, to study why this failure occurs, and to verify its evolution without antisecretory therapy; and 3) to confirm whether a week's prescription of omeprazole is sufficient to obtain ulcer healing.
