Abstract:

“In patients with dyspepsia, a common initial management strategy in primary care is to prescribe a course ofempiric antisecretory therapy. Ranitidin and omeprazole as antisecretory agents have been proven effective fortreatment of dyspepsia. This research was aimed to evaluate the effect of omeprazole and ranitidine by using NepeanDyspepsia Index (NDI) which was translated and validated in Indonesian language. Fifty healthy persons were askedto complete the Indonesia translated NDI(NDII) and Short Form(SF)- 36, which was previously validated. Cronbach’ salpha and test-retest were performed for reliability analysis. Spearman’s rank correlation was used to assess validity. P-value <0.03 was considered statistically significant. The results concluded that NDIl can be used in dyspepsia patientswho understand Indonesian language. The number of 104 subjects with a clinical diagnosis of dyspepsia according tothe inclusion and exclusion criteria were recruited and randomized to receive ranitidine 150 mg twice daily andomeprazole 20 mg twice daily. Symptoms of dyspepsia were evaluated by using NDIl at baseline one week aftertreatment. The outcomes of omeprazole and ranitidine were evaluated by comparing improved NDIl score in 5domains (tension, activities, eating/drinking, knowledge/control and work/study). The mean of age in the subjects was47 years old that consisted of 36% male. After one week treatment, the NDIl dyspepsia patients score in omeprazoletreated group was not significantly different from that in ranitidine treated group. The effect of omeprazole was notbetter than ranitidine when it was given as empirical treatment for dyspepsia patients in primary care.”
