Background: Helicobacter Pylori (H. pylori) infection has a high prevalence in developing countries; prevalence greater than 50% have been reported in gastric biopsies of peruvian pediatric patients. It is important to know the level of adherence to treatment in this population, the most common adverse effects and the causes of low adherence in order to anticipate them, optimize treatment and reduce the rates of antibiotic resistance. Objective: The main objective of this study is to determine the existing evidence on the level of adherence to treatment against H. pylori in patients under 18 years of age. Methods: We carried out a systematic review following the recommendations (Cochrane). We searched Pubmed, Scielo, Lilacs and Cochrane Library, 1984 onwards. Two review authors independently screened titles, reviewed full-text articles, extracted data, and assessed risk of bias with the Newcastle Ottawa Scale. Results: Nine studies were included, eight clinical trials and a cohort study, the level of adherence found was within 69 to 100%. Eight of the nine studies reported adverse effects, the most frequent being nausea (6.28%). Conclusions: Adherence to H. pylori treatment in the pediatric population in clinical trials is very high; adverse events were infrequent; it is recommended to study adherence under routine conditions. This is the first systematic review to evaluate the level of adherence to H. pylori treatment in the pediatric population.
