“…Studies with CYP2C19 slow metabolizers have shown that the combination of a PPI plus amoxicillin (dual therapy) can reliably cure more than 90% of H. pylori infections, especially in Asian populations. [26][27][28][29] Generally, clinicians should prescribe therapeutic regimens that have 90% or greater (grade B level) and probably 95% or greater (grade A level) PP eradication rate to meet the existing practice in the field of other common bacterial infectious diseases. [30] It is therefore concluded that 7-day levofloxacin-containing triple therapy provides an unacceptable PP report card as the second-line H. pylori eradication treatment in Taiwan and should be modified by either extending the duration to 10-14 days or seeking other regimens.…”

“…The large number of observations that can be collected in state, provincial, and national databases permit ''slicing and dicing'' the data to test whether aggregated summary statistics are appropriate or effect modifiers like racial/ethnic group require stratification instead. That Madan et al aggregated groups like Blacks, Native Americans, and Hawaiians without reporting stratified results 4 appears to reflect not biologic considerations but numbers in those subgroups too small to stratify.…”

“…From this perspective, modern understanding of fetal growth might begin with the growth curves of Lubchenco et al 2 The now decades-old epiphany that birth weight (BW) must be expressed in terms of gestational age (GA) is a special case of broader insights that include stratifying BW by gender and by race/ethnicity. 3,4 More generally, we often learn by observing how outcomes vary for two different groups differing in only one attribute. But our understanding can be distorted when the groups differ in more than one way and each of those differences may be associated with the chosen outcome.…”
