Abstract
Decreasing the requirement for goblet cells would increase the diagnosis of BE by 147%. Among patients with short columnar segments, subsequent endoscopy generally does not reveal goblet cells, so the columnar mucosa might represent proximal stomach. Decreasing the requirement for goblet cells would cause many patients to be inaccurately labeled as BE.
