Objectives To systematically review the efficacy and safety of esomeprazole versus omeprazole in the treatment of acute non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding (ANVUGIB).Methods PubMed, EMbase, The Cochrane Library, CNKI, WanFang Data and VIP databases were electronically searched to collect the randomized controlled trials (RCTs) about the efficacy and safety of esomeprazole versus omeprazole in the treatment of ANVUGIB from inception to January, 2019. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of included studies, then, meta-analysis was performed by using RevMan 5.3 software.Results A total of 17 RCTs involving 2 086 patients were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that, the total effective rate of esomeprazole group was higher than omeprazole group (RR=1.09, 95%CI 1.04 to 1.14, P=0.000 6), the incidence of adverse reactions was lower than omeprazole group (OR=0.27, 95%CI 0.18 to 0.40, P<0.000 01), the average hemostasis time was shorter than omeprazole group (MD=−0.64, 95%CI −0.94 to −0.34, P<0.0001), and the difference were statistically significant.Conclusions Current evidence shows that in the treatment of ANVUGIB, esomeprazole has rapid hemostasis, significant effect and fewer adverse reactions, which is worthy of wide application and promotion. Due to limited quality and quantity of the included studies, more high-quality studies are required to verify the above conclusions.
