Abstract

Background and Aims: GASTRO-ESOPHAGEAL JUNCTION cancer has increased in the west. Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is considered a major risk factor. We prospectively studied the prevalence of clinical, histologic and endoscopic GERD and premalignant changes among dyspeptic Iranian patients referred for upper GI endoscopy (UGIE).Methods: Consenting patients referred for UGIE to our clinic were enrolled. SYMPTOMS were recorded, UGIE done and biopsies from all suspicious lesions and across the Z-line were taken.Results: Of 344 enrolled patients, 269 (135 females, 134 males, Mean age: 41.6 years) were evaluated. One major GERD symptom was seen in 209 (77.6%) patients and 207 (76.1%) had endoscopic esophagi is. Thirteen patients (5%) had SPECIALIZED INTESTINAL METAPLASIAat the junction (SIM-GEJ) and 3 had glandular dysplasia (2 low grade, 1 high grade). No symptom could predict the presence of histologic or endoscopic findings. Patients with dysplasia had more advanced degrees of endoscopic esophagitis. Conclusion: GERD is common among Iranian patients referred for diagnostic endoscopy. Prevalence of SIM-GEJ among this population was comparable to that reported in the west.
