PG - 185-193 LID - 10.1159/000488796 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND/AIMS: Previous studies have reported a possible relevance between proton pump inhibitor (PPI) use and 3 new gastric mucosal changes: black spots (BSs), white flat elevated mucosa (WFEM), and cobblestone-like mucosa (CLM). The aim of this study was to investigate the association between these mucosal changes and multiple factors including PPI use. METHODS: All subjects who underwent a routine esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) were successively enrolled. Endoscopists carried out the EGD after being blinded about -information on patient PPI usage and determined the presence of these mucosal changes. The ratio of each factor was -compared in cases with and without each gastric finding. RESULTS: Out of 1,214 patients, BSs were recognized in 75 (6.2%) cases, WFEM in 59 (4.9%), and CLM in 41 (3.4%). In logistic regression analysis, PPI use was significantly correlated with all of these findings (BSs: OR 2.94; 95% CI 1.66-5.21), (WFEM: OR 3.58; 95% CI 1.94-6.61), and (CLM: OR 4.57; 95% CI 2.34-9.96), and Helicobacter pylori eradication was related to BSs (OR 3.01; 95% CI 1.73-5.24) and WFEM (OR 2.11; 95% CI 1.08-4.11). Decision-tree analyses showed that H. pylori eradication was associated with all findings. CONCLUSIONS: All of the considered findings were correlated with PPI and H. pylori eradication.
