Barrett’s
Oesophagus

Macdonald
CE, Wicks AC, Playford RJ [Leicester Gen Hosp,
England]

Ten Years’ Experience of Screening Patients with
Barrett’s Oesophagus in a University Teaching
Hospital

Gut 41: 303-307, 1997

Medical records from 1984 to 1994 revealed 29,374
upper gastrointestinal endoscopies. Barrett’s
oesophageal metaplasia was noted in 409 subjects
above 50 years of without sex bias. 379 patients
were investigated thus every year; one subject of
progressive dysphagia had cancer.

The authors suggest this to be a wasteful procedure
if used as a routine.
