Aims: To compare the efficacy and safety of vonoprazan-based bismuth-containing quadruple therapy (VBCQ) versus proton pump inhibitor (PPI)-based bismuth-containing quadruple Therapy (PBCQ) for Helicobacter pylori eradication. Methods: We performed a systematic search in PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, CNKI, Wanfang databases for relevant randomized controlled trials up to March 2024. Meta-analysis by RevMan 5.4 software. Results: Ten randomized controlled trials were evaluated in this meta-analysis. In intention-to-treat (ITT) analysis and per-protocol (PP) analysis, the eradication rate of VBCQ was significantly higher than PBCQ [ITT overall eradication rate: 86.7% vs 82.8%, RR: 1.05,95% CI (1.05, 1.09), P < 0.05; PP overall eradication rate: 92.0% vs 88.0%; RR =1.05,95% CI (1.05, 1.08), P < 0.05]. The incidence of adverse events in VBCQ was higher than PBCQ (36.7% vs 36.5%), there was no significant difference (P > 0.05). Conclusions: VBCQ has a higher eradication rate and comparable safety.
