Abstract SUMMARY his interventional clinical trial was carried to evaluate the difference between two proton pump inhibitor therapy Omeprazole and Lansoprazole in patients who presented to the Ain Shams Pediatric Gastroenterology Unit (ASPU), Children Hospital, Ain Shams University presented with Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in the Pediatric Gastroenterology unit between Jan 2014 and Jan 2015. This study was conducted on 60 patients presented with GERD. Approval of the pediatric council was taken before proceeding with this work. The study included 32 males and 28 females ranged between three months and nine months with mean age 6.7±1.4 and 6.8±1.2 months. The patients were randomly divided into two matched groups; group A received omeprazole at dose of 1mg /kg/ day and group B received Lansoprazole at the same dose. All patients had medical history taking, with special emphasis on gastrointestinal symptoms (vomiting, dysphagia, hematemesis, abdominal pains, diarrhea, constipation, abdominal distension and melena), associated extraintestinal symptoms (chocking, cough, recurrent chest infection, allergy and weight loss), family history of similar conditions and medication history. T Summary 87 Careful clinical examination was done with special emphasis on vital data (heart rate, respiratory rate, and temperature), pallor, weight, skin allergy, abdominal examination (distension, tenderness, rigidity and organomegaly) and anthropometric measures; (weight for age and length for age in terms of Z score value). All patients had a laboratory assessment of hemoglobin %, TLC, ALT, AST, Urea, Creatinin and RBS. The present study revealed that vomiting was a constant feature among all patients with GERD. Abdominal distension among 95% of all patients, Diarrhea was reported by 6.7%. Constipation was reported by 13.3% ofincluded patients of both groups. and positive family history in 53.3% of all patients. Regarding the extra intestinal manifestations the present study revealed the presence of skin and nasal allergy in 50% of all conducted patients, chocking among 33.3% of patient in both groups, wheeze in 20% of all patients, nasal allergy among 20% of all patients, skin rash among 11.7% of patients and recurrent chest infection among 10% among patients of both groups. There was no significant difference between both groups regarding gastrointestinal manifestation and extra intestinal manifestation.Regarding hemoglobin% laboratory results showed that there was no significant difference between both groups but slightly higher mean in patients who received Omeprazole more than patients who received Lansoprazole. The results of the present study showed that the weight gain in patients who received Lansoprazole was significantly more than those who received Omeprazole. The results of the present study showed that patients who received Lansoprazole had significantly higher mean of age of onset of vomiting and lower mean of duration of vomiting compared to patients who received Omeprazole |
