Abstract

Objectives: To investigate esophageal mucosal admittance (MA) values in patients with Barrett's esophagus.Subjects and methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from 9/2021 to 7/2022 on patients with Barrett's esophagus.Results: The study recruited 30 patients with the mean age being 48.2 ± 12.1. The female/male ratio was 1.31. The mean BMI was 22.9 ± 2.9. The mean GERD-Q score was 6.97 ± 1.77. Using the Prague C and M classifications, 93.3% of patients were C0M1 and 6.7% were C0M2. There were 3 cases (10%) with sliding diaphragmatic hernia, 10 cases (33.3%) with erosive esophagitis. The median MA values (interquartile) at 5cm and 15cm above the Z line were 52.10 (30.26 – 77.27) and 51.32 (38.24 – 70.30), respectively. There was a difference of MA values between patients with and without erosive esophagitis. Multivariate regression analysis showed that there was a positive correlation between erosive esophagitis and MA values at both 5cm and 15cm above the Z lines. Conclusion: MA value in patients with Barrett's esophagus were higher than normal people, there was a positive correlation between erosive esophagitis and MA values.
