Abstract

The pathophysiology of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) has been studied extensively in patients with long-segment Barrett's esophagus (LSBE), but few reports have explored GERD pathophysiology in patients who have short-segment Barrett's esophagus (SSBE) or intestinal metaplasia at the cardia (IMC). We aimed to compare clinical, endoscopic, histological, and functional features in patients with LSBE, SSBE, and IMC. We identified 582 patients who had intestinal metaplasia at the squamocolumnar junction in the distal esophagus and divided them into three groups based on the extent of columnar-lined esophagus observed endoscopically: 1) patients with IMC who had no columnar-lined esophagus (i.e., the squamocolumnar and gastroesophageal junctions coincided), 2) patients with LSBE who had >3 cm of columnar-lined esophagus, and 3) patients with SSBE who had <3 cm of columnar-lined esophagus. All patients had esophageal manometric evaluation, and 24-h esophageal pH monitoring was performed to determine the extent of acid and bile (bilirubin) reflux. There were 174 patients with IMC, 155 with LSBE, and 25 with SSBE. Compared to patients with LSBE and SSBE, patients with IMC had significantly lower frequencies of GERD symptoms, h...Continue Reading
