Article Title: Low Risk of High-Grade Dysplasia or Esophageal Adenocarcinoma Among Patients With Barrett#39;s Esophagus Less Than 1 cm (Irregular Z Line) Within 5 Years of Index Endoscopy
Abstract: BACKGROUND amp; AIMS: Many patients with a /= 1 cm (n = 1624). RESULTS: A higher proportion of patients in the irregular Z-line group were female (26.3%) than in the BE group (14.8% female BE) (P /=1 cm in length. On multivariate analysis, patients with irregular Z line and patients with BE of gt;/= 1 cm did not differ significantly in age, race, or duration of follow-up. CONCLUSIONS: In a prospective, multicenter cohort study, we found that patients with irregular Z line do not develop HGD or esophageal cancer within 5 years after index endoscopy.
