Short-segment Barrett’s esophagus and cardia intestinal metaplasia: A comparative analysis

Table 1 Incidence of dysplasia in short-segment Barrett’s esophagus and cardia intestinal metaplasia patients

Patients	n	Dysplasia	%
CIM	41	1	2.4
SSBE	32	4	12.5b

^bP < 0.01 vs cardia intestinal metaplasia (CIM). Biopsy specimens taken from 41 CIM patients and 32 short-segment Barrett’s esophagus (SSBE) patients were stained with hematoxylin and eosin. The incidence of dysplasia was calculated. The incidence of dysplasia was significantly higher in SSBE patients than in CIM patients (12.5% vs 2.4%, P < 0.01).
