Abstract:
Dutch rheumatologists were given a questionnaire on NSAID gastropathy, in which older age (>60 years) and previous ulcers were mentioned by them as being the most important risk factors. Dutch rheumatologists follow different strategies for the prevention of NSAID gastropathy, with a slight preference for proton pump inhibitors and the use of COX-2 selective NSAIDs.
