High Risk of Persistence and Risk of Dysplasia After Diagnosis of Ultrashort Barrett's Esophagus
The prevalence of persistent BE after index USBE is high, and there is a risk of developing dysplasia/neoplasia in persistent BE after USBE. We were unable to detect a difference in the risk of dysplasia/neoplasia between persistent BE after index USBE and BE ≥1 cm on index endoscopy in a cohort of US veterans. White race and Hispanic ethnicity are associated with persistent BE after index USBE and may be target demographics for surveillance.
