Results
Three recent studies reporting on all-cause mortality with PPI use were
identified that met our inclusion criteria; each having a different
study design 17-19. One systematic review out of 103
was identified that specifically included all-cause mortality as an
outcome in its protocol. A randomized controlled trial (RCT) and a
longitudinal cohort study that were published after the date of our
search for SRs met our inclusion criteria. Figure 1 shows selection
process and provides the reasons why some articles were excluded. Table
1 provides detailed characteristics of the included studies.
