Abstract

aspiration dilation gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) peptic esophageal stricture proton pump inhibitors
Since the introduction of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), the incidence of peptic esophageal stricture has declined, yet a subset of patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) continue to develop this complication. Peptic stricture is associated with dysphagia, recurrent endoscopic intervention, and substantial healthcare utilization, making it a clinically meaningful outcome of reflux disease. Contemporary data defining its incidence, risk factors, and clinical sequelae remain limited. In this multicenter national database study, we evaluated the incidence of peptic esophageal stricture among patients with GERD, characterized the population that develops stricture, identified predictors of stricture formation, and assessed associated clinical sequelae.
