Department of Gastroenterology, St Vincent's Hospital, Melbourne, Australia; University of Melbourne, Melbourne, Australia. Electronic address:
Background & Aims: There is conflicting literature describing the durability of complete remission of intestinal metaplasia (CRIM) after endoscopic eradication therapy (EET) for Barrett's esophagus (BE). We aim to assess the timeline, predictors and long-term outcomes of recurrence.
Methods: Data on 365 patients who underwent EET for dysplastic BE were collected prospectively between 2008 and 2022 at a Barrett's referral unit.

Despite the critical importance of follow-up appointments, some patients fail to attend these crucial visits. This study aims to identify demographic, clinical, and socioeconomic factors that predict missed follow-up appointments after EMR.
