| Core Tip |
Currently, large epidemiologic data evaluating the gender-based differences in Barrett’s esophagus (BE) remain limited. Using the 2009-2019 National Inpatient Sample database, we conducted this retrospective study to assess the gender disparities and trends in patients with BE. According to our data, the prevalence of BE in women increased steadily during the course of the study. Trend analysis among females revealed an increasing prevalence of obesity, smoking, and alcohol abuse and a declining prevalence of Helicobacter pylori and diabetes. These observations indicate that the risk of BE in women is not insignificant. Further research is required to carefully screen for risk factors and determine the underlying mechanisms of BE and esophageal adenocarcinoma in female patients. |
