– Faster, more complete sx relief – Superior healing of esophagitis
(vs H2 blockers)
– 70-80% vs 60% sx relief
Gastro 1997

– Healing at 8 wks: 84% PPI vs 52% H2B – Sx response better
(Chiba et al Gastro 1997)
– % pts with sx relief: qday = BID – If persistent sxs, only 20% improve with BID (or new PPI) (Fass et al J Aliment Pharm Ther 2000)
– ~ 100% relapse by 6 mos
– PPI use may decrease dysplasia
– 66% have recurrent sxs – On-demand PPI same sx control as PPI daily
(Pace et al Aliment Pharm Ther 2007)

6-12 months Continuous Intermittent On demand = symptom recurrence

– 46% refractory GERD pts taking PPI correctly (Alim Pharm Ther 2006)
– New or BID: 20% improve

Most recent AGA review: BE is “any extent of metaplastic columnar epithelium that predisposes to cancer development”
(Spechler et al Gastro 2010)
27
– 40% EAC pts have no GERD hx – Only 10% EAC pts have BE dx
– Chronic GERD sxs AND – One or more EAC risk factors
– If no Barrett’s, no further screening
