Abstract: Objective To systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of rabeprazole versus omeprazole in the treatment of reflux esophagitis (RE) and to provide reference for clinical rational drug use. Methods The databases of CNKI, Wanfang Data, CQVIP、PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science and Embase were searched for related articles published from inception to December 3, 2020. Randomized controlled trials (RCT) with rabeprazole versus omeprazole in the treatment of RE were included, and the data needed was retrieved and analyzed using RevMan5.3. Results Fifteen RCTs were included in the study, involving a total of 1 607 patients. Meta-analysis results showed that the total effective rate of rabeprazole in the treatment of RE was higher than that of omeprazole[OR=4.46, 95%CI (3.01~6.59), P<0.001]. Subgroup analysis showed that the total effective rate after 4 weeks and 8 weeks of treatment was higher in the experimental group than in the control group [OR=3.10, 95%CI (1.63~5.90), P<0.001; [OR=5.41, 95%CI (3.29~8.91), P<0.001]. Endoscopy suggested that rabeprazole was more effective than omeprazole, and the difference was statistically significant [OR=0.36, 95%CI (0.22~0.59), P<0.001]. In addition, the incidence of adverse reactions in the rabeprazole group was lower than that of the omeprazole group [OR=0.32,95%CI (0.18,0.56), P<0.001]. Conclusion Rabeprazole is more effective in the treatment of RE than omeprazole, and the incidence of adverse reactions is lower, but omeprazole is cheaper. Clinicians can select appropriate drugs for patients on the basis of safety, effectiveness and cost of drugs.
