Question answered correctly
A 52 year old Caucasian male is referred to you for heartburn. He has a 20 yr history of heartburn with
intermittent symptoms while on once a day PPI therapy. He denies dysphagia, nausea or vomiting. His physical examination is notable for a BMI of 40, but his physical examination and laboratory studies
are otherwise unremarkable. EGD shows the following in the distal esophagus:
Endoscopic biopsies are likely to show:
A: Normal gastric epithelium.B: Intestinal metaplasia.C: Erosive esophagitis.
D: Squamous cell carcinoma.E: Adenocarcinoma.

Critique/Rationale:
Barrett’s esophagus is found in approximately 6 to 12% of patients undergoing endoscopy for symptoms
of GERD and in 1% or less of unselected patient populations undergoing endoscopy. The prevalence
of long-segment Barrett’s esophagus (3 cm or more of interstitial metaplasia) is approximately 5%, whereas that of short-segment Barrett’s esophagus (less than 3 cm of interstitial metaplasia) is approximately 6 to
12% in patients undergoing endoscopy in a variety of settings. Autopsy data suggest that the majority of cases of Barrett’s esophagus go undetected in the
general population. This may be due to the observation that esophageal sensitivity to acid
perfusion is impaired in these patients. Furthermore, only approximately 5% of patients with esophageal adenocarcinoma have an antecedent diagnosis of
Barrett’s esophagus.

Barrett’s esophagus is a complication of gastroesophageal reflux disease. Endoscopically, this
lesion is recognized by displacement of the squamocolumnar junction proximal to the
gastroesophageal junction. Histologically, it is characterized by metaplastic transformation of the esophageal squamous epithelium to a specialized
columnar intestinal metaplastic epithelium with acid mucin-containing goblet cells

Application to Practice(didactic)
The epidemiology of Barrett's esophagus is incompletely described. Published studies indicate it is
more prevalent in older, white males, a pattern that mirrors that of esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC). Emerging data suggests that Barrett's may be as
prevalent in Hispanics as whites, and that rates among women and other minority groups are increasing.
In patients with esophageal reflux disease, those with Barrett's are more likely to report the onset of GERD at
an early age, have increased duration of symptoms, increased severity of nocturnal symptoms and more
GERD-related complications such as esophagitis, ulceration, stricture and bleeding. The increased risk of Barrett's in this type of patient may be great, with some
studies citing a 6.4 fold increase in those with symptoms greater than 10 years. Thus, symptoms of
Barrett's are indistinguishable from symptoms of GERD without Barrett's complications. Further, many with
Barrett's have no symptoms at all.
Other factors have also emerged as potentially related to the development of EAC, including tobacco use, diet low in fruits and vegetables, and increased body mass index (BMI). Interestingly, evidence suggests that use of aspirin/NSAIDs may be associated with decreased
risks of EAC.

Practice Improvement Modules (PIMs)
Option for members to build their own PIMs around Barrett’s Esophagus:
• How does your practice track patients with interstitial metaplasia, interstitial metaplasia with low-grade and high-grade metaplasia?
• What performance measures will you use to prospectively track how you manage
these patients? Etc.
[PIMs satisfy specific point requirements for MOC and are eligible for CME credit]
