Objetivos

Comparar la exactitud de la prueba del aliento empleando un espectrometro de masas de relaciones isotopicas (isotope ratio mass spectrometer [IRMS]) frente a un espectrofotometro de infrarrojos no dispersivo (nondispersive isotope-selective infrared spectrometer [NDIRS]) para el diagnostico de la infeccion por Helicobacter pylori.

Metodo

Estudio multicentrico en 4 hospitales espanoles. Se incluyeron un grupo de pacientes dispepticos a quienes no se habia administrado tratamiento erradicador previo y otro grupo con ulcera gastrica o hemorragia digestiva por ulcera gastroduodenal en el que se confirmaba la erradicacion de H. pylori. Se utilizo un patron de referencia basado en la histologia y el test rapido de la ureasa. Se realizo la prueba del aliento (TAU-KITR, Isomed S.L., Madrid) con acido citrico y 100 mg de 13C-urea. Se recogieron muestras de aire espirado en tubos y en bolsas para su lectura con el IRMS (ABCA, PDZ, Crewe, Manchester, Reino Unido) y el NDIRS (UBiTIR200, Otsuka Electronics, Co, Osaka, Japon), respectivamente. El endoscopista, el patologo y la persona responsable de la lectura del test de la ureasa y de ambas pruebas del aliento desconocian el estado de infeccion por los demas metodos diagnosticos.

Resultados

Se incluyo a 41 pacientes. La prevalencia de H. pylori fue del 26%. No se demostraron diferencias al comparar los valores medios (desviacion estandar) obtenidos con el

Irms y el ndirs

13 (24) y 14 (25) unidades δ, respectivamente. El area bajo la curva ROC para el IRMS y el NDIRS fue de 0,96. La exactitud diagnostica para el mejor punto de corte con el IRMS y el NDIRS fue, respectivamente: sensibilidad del 90 y el 100%; especificidad del 96 y el 89%; valor predictivo positivo del 90 y el 77%; valor predictivo negativo del 96 y el 100%; cociente de probabilidades positivo de 25 y 9,3, y negativo de 0,1 y 0. Se demostro una elevada correlacion entre los valores del IRMS y del NDIRS (ecuacion de regresion lineal, Y = 1,1 + 1,004. X; r = 0,97).

Conclusion

Los dos equipos que se han utilizado para evaluar la prueba del aliento, IRMS y NDIRS, poseen una similar y elevada exactitud para el diagnostico de la infeccion por H. pylori.

Objectives

To compare the accuracy of the breath test using the isotope ratio mass spectrometer (IRMS) versus the nondispersive isotope-selective infrared spectrometer (NDIRS) in the diagnosis of Helicobacter pylori infection.

Method

Multicenter study in 4 Spanish hospitals. One group of dyspeptic patients who had not undergone prior eradication therapy and another group of patients with gastric ulcer or gastrointestinal bleeding due to gastroduodenal ulcer receiving H. pylori eradication therapy were included in the study. A reference standard based on histology and the rapid urease test was used. The breast test (TAU-KIT®, Isomed S.L., Madrid, Spain) was performed with citric acid and 100 mg of 13C-urea. Samples of expired air were collected in tubes and bags for reading with the IRMS (ABCA, PDZ, Crewe, Manchester, England) and the NDIRS (UBiTIR200, Otsuka Electronics, Co, Osaka, Japan), respectively. The endoscopist, pathologist and person responsible for reading the urease test and both breath tests were blinded to the results of the other diagnostic methods.

Results

Forty-one patients were included. The prevalence of H. pylori was 26%. No differences were found on comparing the mean values obtained with the IRMS and the

Ndirs

13 (standard deviation) (24) and 14 (25) δ units, respectively. The area under the ROC curve for the IRMS and the NDIRS was 0.96. The diagnostic accuracy for the best cut-off point with the IRMS and the NDIRS was, respectively: sensitivity (90 and 100%), specificity (96 and 89%), positive predictive value (90 and 77%), negative predictive value (96 and 100%), + likelihaod ratio (25 and 9.3) and – (0.1 and 0). A close correlation was found between the values of the IRMS and those of the NDIRS (lineal regression equation, Y = 1.1 + 1.004. X; r = 0.97).

Conclusion

Both the spectrometers used to evaluate the breath test, the IRMS and the NDIRS, offer a high degree of accuracy in the diagnosis of H. pylori infection.
