Retrospective Analysis of Treatment Outcomes in Patients With Bacterial Overgrowth Syndrome Diagnosed by D-Xylose Breath Testing (SIBO)

March 23, 2012 updated by: University of Florida

The objective of this study is to compare the efficacy of prokinetics versus antibiotics versus a combination of antibiotics plus prokinetics in the eradication of Small-Intestinal Bacterial Over-Growth Syndrome (SIBO) in those with and without a positive D-xylose Breath Test.

Hypothesis: Patients with SIBO treated with a combination of prokinetics and in particular octreotide and antibiotics will have reduced recurrence rates of SIBO than either therapy given alone.

Conditions

Detailed Description

We want to determine whether treatment with prokinetics such as Octreotide, Azithromycin, Erythromycin or Tegaserod alone, versus antibiotics alone, or combination of antibiotics plus prokinetics results in symptomatic improvement in patients with SIBO (defined by a positive D xylose Breath test).

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
clinical response to treatments as measured by changes in patients' GI symptoms, weight and lab data
Time Frame: A retrospective chart review of up to 8 clinical visits between January 2000 and September 2010 will be conducted on all patients who have had a D-Xylose Breath Test at the Shands Motility Laboratory at the University of Florida during this time period
Overall clinical response to each treatment (antibiotic, pro-kinetic, or both) and any symptoms reported in up to 8 separate clinical visits in the follow-up of these patients during the above mentioned time period will be analyzed and reviewed retrospectively using the patients' charts.
