Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Background: The eradication rates of first-line treatment for Helicobacter pylori infection are not satisfactory. Various regimens including quadruple therapies have been recommended as rescue therapies after the first H. pylori eradication attempt failed. Aims: To compare the efficacy and safety between quadruple therapies with medications containing either rufloxacin or levofloxacin in the Chinese nonulcer dyspepsia patients infected with H. pylori. Methods: One hundred and thirty-eight patients after an unsuccessful 10-day standard triple therapy were enrolled in this study. They were randomized to receive a 14-day quadruple therapy with pantoprazole, bismuth citrate, and furazolidone in combination with either rufloxacin (Group Ruf, n=70) or levofloxacin (Group Lev, n=68). The H. pylori eradication was evaluated by C-urea breath test 4 and 12weeks after therapy was completed. Results: One hundred and twenty-seven patients (65 in Group Ruf and 62 in Group Lev) completed the study. The H. pylori eradication rates in Group Ruf were 81.4% for intention-to-treat (ITT) analysis and 87.7% for per-protocol (PP) analysis. The rates were statistically significantly higher than those in Group Lev (66.2% and 72.6%) (p<0.05). There were no severe adverse effects found in these two groups. Conclusions: Fourteen-day quadruple therapy with a combination of proton-pump inhibitor, bismuth citrate, furazolidone, and rufloxacin is considered an effective and safe rescue therapy for H. pylori eradication after failure of standard triple treatment. © 2011 Blackwell Publishing Ltd.
