Specialized intestinal metaplasia: analysis of prevalence, risk factors and association with gastro‐oesophageal reflux disease

There is an increasing awareness that short (less than 3 cm) segments of Barrett's epithelium and macroscopically normal cardia epithelium may harbour specialized intestinal metaplasia (SIM), a premalignant phenotype. This was a prospective study of both the prevalence of SIM in an unselected population of patients attending for endoscopy, and the association of SIM with symptoms, lifestyle, medication, endoscopic oesophagitis and carditis.
