Why are Asians less likely to get GERD?

Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, 2008;23:1785‐1793. Dig Dis Sci. 2009;54(5): 964‐71. Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, 2011;26: 816‐824.

  • Lower rates of hiatal hernias
  • Lower rates of transient LES relaxations
  • Smaller gastric parietal cell mass
  • Lower gastric acid output

Why else is GERD less prevalent in Asians?

  • “Heartburn” has no direct translation
  • Lower awareness of “GERD” in Asian countries

where peptic ulcer and gastric cancer are highly prevalent

  • Less likely to seek medical attention for GERD

– 70‐96% of survey participants with GERD do not consult their medical practitioner

Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, 2008;23:1785‐1793. J Clin Gastroenterol 2015;50(1):e1‐e7. Diseases of the Esophagus, 2011;24(1):18‐24.

Prevalence of GERD is rising in Asians

Ethnic Background Change in Weekly GERD Prevalence Asians 5.2% (2005) 8.5% (2010) Koreans 7.1% (2002) 7.9% (2007) Singapore 5.5% (1994) 10.5% (1999)

J Clin Gastroenterol 2015;50(1):e1‐e7. Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, 2011;26: 816‐824.

Ethnic Background Change in Esophagitis Prevalence Taiwan 5% (1995) 12.6% (2002) Koreans 1.8% (1995) 9.1% (2005) Malaysians 2.7% (1992) 9.0% (2001) Singapore 3.9% (1992) 9.8% (2001) Philippines 2.9% (1992) 6.3% (2002)

9/21/2017 4 Why is GERD increasing amongst Asians?

  • Increased awareness
  • Increasing age
  • Rapid urbanization
  • Adoption of Western lifestyle

– Dietary habits – Resultant obesity

  • Decline in H pylori

– H pylori colonization decreases gastric acid output

Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, 2008;23:1785‐1793.

GERD symptoms present differently in Asians than Caucasians

Caucasians

  • Heartburn
  • Acid regurgitation

Asians

  • Non‐cardiac chest pain
  • Dyspepsia/epigastric pain
  • Feeling of stomach acidity
  • Extra‐esophageal
  • Typical acid reflux

symptoms are uncommon (8 – 15%)

Diseases of the Esophagus, 2011;24(1):18‐24. J Clin Gastroenterol 2015;50(1):e1‐e7. Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, 2008;23:1785‐1793.

Treatment Approach of GERD for Asians

  • Start with:

– Upper endoscopy – H pylori test and treat

  • More cost effective than empirical PPI test as

the initial diagnostic strategy for patients with reflux symptoms.

Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, 2008;23:1785‐1793.

Asians response to PPIs

  • More profound gastric acid suppression
  • Higher rate of healing of esophagitis
  • Required lower maintenance dose of PPI
  • Why???

– Smaller parietal cell mass – Higher prevalence of poor metabolizers due to cP450 2C19 polymorphism ‐> higher plasma PPI levels – Higher prevalence of H pylori: enhances acid suppressing effects of PPI through increased intensity

  • f corpus gastritis, which further suppresses the acid

secretory function

Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, 2008;23:1785‐1793.

Asians are less likely to respond to PPIs

PPI Response Rates Asians Non‐Asians P value Week 4 44.3% 60.7% < 0.001 Week 8 63.6% 72.2% 0.010

  • Similar to Caucasians:

– Higher response rates for ERD (71.3%) versus NERD (48.5%) – ERD and less severe GI symptoms predicted symptomatic response to PPIs.

  • Unlike Caucasians:

– Lower BMI did not predict response to PPI therapy

BMC Gastroenterology 2014;14:156.

H Pylori Eradication and GERD

Caucasians

  • Little effect on GERD

severity (in terms of symptom relapse after withdrawal of acid suppressive therapy) Asians

  • Higher failure rates of step‐

down therapy compared to patients with persistent infection

– 43% vs 21%, P = 0.04

  • Increase in esophageal acid

exposure

  • Attributed to higher

prevalence of CagA+ strain

  • f H pylori and more severe

corpus gastritis

Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, 2008;23:1785‐1793.

Recommendations for H pylori

  • Current consensus: eradicate H pylori before

long‐term PPI in Asian patients with GERD.

  • H pylori eradication prevents progression of

atrophic gastritis (premalignant condition).

  • This is a big deal where the incidence of

gastric cancer is high.

Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, 2008;23:1785‐1793.

Achalasia

Cultural Differences in Symptom Interpretations

  • Constipation, bloating, & fullness are difficult

to define and differentiate from each other.

  • Bloating is an English term.
  • Post‐prandial fullness, bloating, and relative

severity of abdominal pain may not be interpreted in the same way in different countries.

Location of Abdominal Pain in Asian versus Non‐Asian IBS Patients Diet Highlights for Asian IBS Patients

  • Rice

– Complete small bowel absorption, low gas production, low fiber

  • Chili (Capsaicin)

– Can aggravate abdominal pain and burning – May desensitize capsaicin receptors that play a role in gut irritability associated with FGIDs

  • Vegetarians

– Vegetarianism is a risk factor for IBS in Northern India – May make low FODMAP diet challenging

Doctors in Asia are less likely to prescribe psychotropic agents.

Non‐Asian Providers

  • USA: 45 ‐ 55%

Asian Providers

  • Asia: 20%
  • 70% of Asian

gastroenterologists would

  • nly use a psychotropic

agent as second‐line therapy.

Traditional Chinese Medicines for IBS

  • Padma Lax
  • Tumeric
  • Tong Xie Yao Fang
  • Xiaoyao San (MXS)
  • Xinwei decoction
  • Chang’an I recipe
  • Shugan Jianpi Zhixie
  • Moxibustion
