Trial Outcomes & Findings for Effects of Gastric Acid on Colonic Microbiome (NCT NCT01901276)

NCT ID: NCT01901276

Last Updated: 2024-08-15

Results Overview

In order to assess the diversity of the colonic microbiome, the Shannon diversity index will be calculated for each subject: * After four weeks of no acid suppression (Week 0 vs. Week 4) * After four weeks of twice daily PPI (Week 4 vs. Week 8) The Shannon diversity index is a mathematical measure of species diversity in a given community. The Shannon index is calculated as: -∑\[(pi)×ln(pi)\] where H is the Shannon diversity index, and pi is the proportion of individuals of i-th species in a whole community. The minimum value of the Shannon diversity index is 0, which indicates there's no diversity - only one species is found in that habitat. There is no upper limit to the Shannon index. The higher the value of H, the higher the diversity of species in a particular community.
