Patients' values and preferences regarding endoscopic therapy for Barrett's esophagus: A cross-sectional survey study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Endoscopic eradication therapy (EET) has evolved as a minimally invasive and efficacious option to treat patients with dysplastic Barret's esophagus. We aimed to conduct a cross-sectional study to assess patient values and preferences on EET.

Methods

All consecutive patients at our clinic and endoscopy center were enrolled between November 2020 and April 2022. The primary outcome was their willingness to undergo EET measured using a validated survey tool. Predictors of this outcome included patient demographics, disease characteristics, procedure types, and physician characteristics. We used a multivariable logistic regression model to assess the association between the primary outcome and its predictors.

Results

A total of 101 consecutive Barret's esopha
