Abstract

During a 5-year follow-up of elderly patients, the likelihood of transformation of nonerosive reflux disease (NERD) to erosive reflux disease (ERD) or Barretts esophagus (BE) was 46,4 and 2,5%, respectively. ERD was a stable form in 66,8% of the patients, it transformed to NERD or BE in 26,0 and 6,4%, respectively. Lower third esophageal dysplasia occurred in 8,1% of the patients with BE during the follow-up. In the elderly patients, the leading risk factors of progressive gastroesophageal reflux disease were the absence of maintenance therapy with proton pump inhibitors (odds ratio (OR) = 6,2%; confidence interval (CI), 1,8-8,8), abdominal obesity (OR 3,1; CI, 2,3-3,9), tobacco smoking (OR 2,3; CI, 1,5-3,1); regular alcohol use (OR, 2,0; CI, 1,1-2,7).
