Alcohol consumption as a risk factor of Barrett’s esophagus: a Meta analysis
Objective To investigate the relationship between alcohol drinking and Barrett’s esophagus. Methods Papers on correlation between alcohol drinking and Barrett’s esophagus were systematically retrieved from CBM
CNKI
PUBMED
MEDLINE and EMBASE. Academic levels of these papers included in this study were assessed according to the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS). Meta analysis was carried out according to study type
geographical factor
data source and drinking types to study the relationship. Results There were 16 articles (13
case-control studies
and 3 cohort studies) included with a total number of 3 961 cases of Barrett’s esophagus and 11 748 cases in control. Our analysis showed that the value of OR in cohort studies was 1.27 with 95% CI of 1.03 to 1.58 (
P
=0.03) when compared with the nondrinkers. For Asian drinkers
alcohol drinking increased the risk of Barrett’s esophagus by 47% (OR=1.47
95%CI=1.10 to 1.97
P
=0.009)
but alcohol reduced the risk by 17% in American drinkers (OR=0.83
95%CI=0.71 to 0.96
P
=0.02). No significant difference was seen in other subgroups(
P
0.05). Conclusion Alcohol drinking is an risk factor for the mortality of Barrett’s esophagus
