About the trial
What the trial wants to find out
Previous studies have shown that screening for Barrett's esophagus (BE), the main risk factor for esophageal adenocarcinoma, is under-utilized in the primary care setting. In fact less than 35% of eligible patients are screened despite endorsement for screening by the major GI societies in patients with risk factors. The purpose of this study is to examine current screening practices and determine if implementation of screening reminders can optimize screening practices for Barrett's Esophagus within a large, academic based healthcare system in NJ.
