PG - 143-150 LID - 10.1111/1751-2980.12457 [doi] AB - OBJECTIVE: Long-term acid suppression reduces the risk of progression to esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) in patients with Barrett's esophagus (BE). Given recent reports about the harmful effects of using chronic proton pump inhibitors (PPI) there is renewed interest in alternative methods of acid suppression. Hence, we studied the effect of H2 receptor antagonists (H(2) RA) on the risk of progression to neoplasia in our BE cohort. METHODS: This is a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data of patients in our BE registry from 2002 to 2015. Patients' characteristics, endoscopic findings, such as the length of BE, hiatal hernia size and histological findings and patients' use of medications such as PPI, aspirin, H(2) RA, metformin and antihyperlipidemic agents were studied. RESULTS: The cohort consisted of 1466 patients with a mean age of 61 +/- 13 years. The patients had a predominance of male sex (76.7% [1118/1457]) and Caucasian race (96.6% [1209/1252]). After excluding prevalent high-grade dysplasia (HGD) or EAC, 1025 patients had a median follow up of 43.6 months during which 57 patients progressed to HGD or EAC. PPI use (56% in progressors vs 69% in non-progressors; P = 0.007) but not H(2) RA use (12% progressors vs 19% in non-progressors P = 0.162) was associated with lower risk of neoplastic progression. On multivariate analysis, there was no synergistic effect of addition of H(2) RA to PPI on risk of neoplastic progression to HGD or EAC (relative risk 0.33; confidence intervals 0.05-2.29, P = 0.262). CONCLUSION: H(2) RA do not seem to have a chemopreventive role in patients with BE.
