ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:

To investigate the incidence and associated demographical and clinical factors related to lower GI polyps and neoplasms in patients with upper GI polyps and neoplasms.

METHODS:

We investigated 99 patients who had upper GI polyps and neoplasms and who were screened with colonoscopy the following data were collected demographical and clinical data consisting of age, sex, smoking status, presence of H. pylori infection, placement of upper GI polyps or neoplasms, presence of gastric atrophy, usage of proton pump inhibitors (PPI), presence of lower GI polyp or neoplasm, type of colon polyp, pathological grade of colon polyp. The patients were grouped according to having/not having lower GI polyps and neoplasms; data was compared between groups.

RESULTS:

Smoking rate was significantly higher in patients with lower GI polyps and neoplasms (χ2 4.35, p 0.03). Furthermore, there was a signifant association between presence of lower GI polyps and neoplasms vs. smoking (OR 2.44 CI 1.01-5.84, p 0.04).

CONCLUSIONS:

Patients with upper GI polyps and neoplasms who are smokers should be considered as candidates for having lower GI polyps and neoplasms and should be screened and followed more carefully. Additionally, we believe that large sampled and prospective studies are needed to higligt the association between upper GI polyps and presence of lower GI polyps and neoplasms.
RESUMO

OBJETIVO:

investigar a incidência, demografia associada e fatores clínicos relativos a pólipos e neoplasias gastrointestinais distais em pacientes com pólipos e neoplasias do trato gastrointestinal superior.

MÉTODOS:

Foram investigados 99 pacientes que apresentaram pólipos ou neoplasias gastrointestinais superiores selecionados através de colonoscopia os seguintes dados foram coletados dados demográficos e clínicos consistentes em idade, sexo, tabagismo, presença de infecção por H. pylori, a presença de pólipos ou neoplasias gastrointestinais proximais, presença de atrofia gástrica, uso de inibidores da bomba de prótons (IBP), presença de pólipo ou neoplasia gastrointestinal distal, tipo de pólipo de cólon, grau patológico de pólipo de cólon. Os pacientes foram agrupados de acordo com ter/não ter pólipos ou neoplasias distais; os dados foram comparados entre os grupos.

RESULTADOS:

A taxa de tabagismo foi significativamente maior nos pacientes com pólipos e neoplasias distais (χ2 4.35, p 0,03). Além disso houve uma associação significante entre a presença de pólipos e neoplasias distais e tabagismo (OR 2,44 CI 1,01-5,84, p 0,04).

CONCLUSÕES:

Os pacientes fumantes com pólipos e neoplasias do trato gastrointestinal superior devem ser considerados candidatos a pólipos e neoplasias distais e devem ser rastreados e seguidos com mais cuidado. Adicionalmente, grandes amostras e estudos prospectivos são necessários para esclarecer a associação entre pólipos gastrointestinais superiores e a presença de pólipos e neoplasias gastrointestinais distais.
