Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to estimate the prevalence of gastric polyps associated with long-term proton pump inhibitor (PPI) use, identify risk factors for their development, and describe the characteristics of these polyps.
- A prospective study involving around 1000 patients in Beirut over a year found a 30% prevalence of gastric polyps linked to PPI use, with polyps primarily occurring in women and typically related to PPI duration rather than dosage.
- No evidence of dysplasia was found in the polyps studied, and while the incidence of fundic gland polyps has risen with chronic PPI use, current data does not establish a clear connection to gastric cancer.
