Core Tip
Core tip: Compliance is an important factor affecting Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) eradication. The present study is the first attempt to evaluate the telephone re-education (TRE) in H. pylori treatment in China. The daily TRE neither improved the eradication rate nor the patients’ compliance or satisfaction, but decreased adverse effects. Meanwhile, adverse effects may not be the main reason for poor compliance. Our results suggest that compliance is not the important reason for a decreased H. pylori eradication rate in China.
