Abstract

Oh et al. address concerns about the influence of proton pump inhibitor (PPI) use on a gut microbiome signature for cirrhosis. By removing PPI using subjects from the training cohort and retraining a 19-species Random Forest model, they demonstrate the impact of PPI usage on the signature's diagnostic accuracy is minimal.
