Since that time, the most comprehensive meta-analysis\nand largest randomized study to date concerning stress ulcer prophylaxis have\nbeen published.\n        \n        \n          Results:\n          Three hundred sixty-eight surveys were sent to all members of the\nSection of Pharmacy and Pharmacology of the Society of Critical Care Medicine.\nOne hundred fifty-three (42%) surveys were returned. Representatives from 86%\nof institutions stated that medications for stress ulcer prophylaxis are used\nin a majority (>90%) of patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU).\nTwenty-two per cent of institutions have recommendations for both ICU and\nnon-ICU settings. Fifty-eight per cent of institutions stated that there was\none preferred medication for stress ulcer prophylaxis, and in 77% of these\nhistamine-2-antagonists were the most popular.\n        \n        \n          Conclusions:\n          There are wide variations in prescribing practices for stress\nulcer prophylaxis. Institutions should consult published literature and use\npre-existing guidelines as templates for developing their own guidelines.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "description": "Visit the original government dataset for complete information, documentation, and data access.", "downloadURL": "https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC29030/", "mediaType": "text/html", "title": "Official Government Data Source"}], "identifier": "https://healthdata.gov/api/views/gjsd-y8pa", "issued": "2025-07-13", "keyword": ["histamine-2-antagonists", "icu-medication-use", "nih", "pharmacy-survey", "stress-ulcer-prophylaxis"], "landingPage": "https://healthdata.gov/d/gjsd-y8pa", "modified": "2025-09-06", "programCode": ["009:032"], "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "National Institutes of Health"}, "theme": ["NIH"], "title": "Survey of stress ulcer prophylaxis"}
