ABSTRACT
The aim of the study was to identify the epidemiological and clinical factors predisposing to non-erosive reflux disease (NERD), erosive esophagitis (EE) and Barrett's esophagus in Russian population of patients, and to develop a diagnostic model for GERD phenotypes.
Materials and methods. 1433 patients with GERD from Moscow, Moscow region, St. Petersburg and Leningrad region were studied. During the study complaints and anamnestic data were gathered, anthropometry, tests for H. pylori infection and upper endoscopy were performed. Spearman rank correlation was used to identify the correlation of clinical characteristics with NERD, EE and Barrett's esophagus. 880 patients with GERD (407 with NERD, 443 with EE, 27 with Barrett's esophagus, 3 with esophageal stricture) were selected for correlation analysis due to the presence of all necessary parameters. To develop multivariable model for GERD phenotype diagnosis (EE/NERD), multivariate analyses was used. The prognostic value of multivariable model was determined based on ROC analysis.
Results. The prevalence of two main GERD phenotypes - EE and NERD - was approximately equal in the patients of Russian megapolises. Male gender was significantly negatively correlated with NERD development (p=0.002011). An inverse correlation was found between NERD and older age groups (p=0.002459), high waist circumference (WC) (p=0.003733), long duration of GERD symptoms (p=0.012984), the results of the Ge rdQ>8 points (p=0.040030). In the group of patients with EE grade A-B, a significant inverse correlation was revealed with age over 40 years (p=0.002708), high body mass index (BMI) (p=0.020957), and high WC (p=0.001293). The male gender (p=0.000108) and the duration of GERD symptoms more than 3 years (p=0.028292) were significantly associated with severe grades of EE development. The male gender (p=0.007505) and not using of PPIs over the past 6 months (p=0.015930) were positively associated with Barrett's esophagus. Based on correlation analyses and predictive value 6 variables associated with EE/NERD were chosen: gender, age, GERD-Q results, GERD symptoms duration, WC, BMI. Variables were divided into classes with similar risk with corresponding scores. The cut-off point (total score) with balance of sensitivity and specificity (Se~Sp) was 549. Area under the curve (AUC) was 0,73, which indicates good quality of the diagnostic model.
Conclusion. Female gender, young age, normal BMI and WC, short duration of symptoms and GERD-Q less than 7 points were positively associated with NERD compared with EE among Russian patients. Male patients with long-term GERD symptoms, with overweight and obesity, who do not take PPIs are at high risk of Barrett's esophagus.
Key words: gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), erosive esophagitis (EE), non-erosive reflux disease (NERD), proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), heartburn, Barrett's esophagus
Key summary
• GERD is a widespread disease, which is associated with increased risk of Barrett's esophagus and esophageal adenocarcinoma.
• However, no data on risk factors for GERD phenotype development and no statistical model for GERD diagnosis in Russia are available.
What are the significant and/or new findings of this study?
• We showed that female gender, young age, normal BMI and WC, short duration of GERD symptoms and Gerd-Q results<7 points were positively associated with NERD.
• We showed that male patients with long-term GERD symptoms, with overweight and obesity, who do not use PPIs are at high risk of Barrett's esophagus.
• We propose a statistical model for GERD phenotype diagnosis based on epidemiological and clinical data of a patient with GERD symptoms and/or predisposing factors.
1.Introduction
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is one of the most common diseases in developed countries. Many studies have shown that GERD has a high worldwide prevalence varying from 8% to 33% and involves all age groups and both genders [1]. Moreover, the frequency of GERD is constantly increasing, which may be associated with an increase in the incidence of obesity and other metabolic diseases. Nowadays the prevalence of GERD in North America and in Western Europe is up to 27.8% and 25.9% respectively [2]. In Russia, GERD prevalence ranges from 13.3 to 23.6% in different regions [3].
According to the modern concept of GERD spectrum, patients with GERD can be divided into three main phenotypes: non-erosive reflux disease (NERD), erosive esophagitis (EE), and GERD with complications, such as Barrett's esophagus, esophageal stricture, esophageal adenocarcinoma and pulmonary fibrosis [2, 4, 5]. The NERD phenotype represents the majority of patients with GERD, and is diagnosed in approximately 70% of the patients, while the EE prevalence is about 30% [6]. Moreover, based on the upper endoscopy and impedance pH-monitoring results patients with NERD can be subdivided into disorders with different pathways and therapeutic options: NERD with catarrhal esophagitis, endoscopically negative GERD with pathological acid exposure time (AET) and positive symptom-association probability (SAP) and hypersensitive esophagus with normal AET and positive SAP. The functional heartburn, which is characterized by negative SAP, normal AET and absence of esophagus mucosa lesions, is included into functional disorders, so-called Gut-Brain axis disorders [6-8]. GERD phenotypes can succeed each other, thus in 10% of cases NERD can transform into EE [2].
There is no «gold standard» for the diagnosis of GERD nowadays. Most of the clinical practice guidelines have developed stepwise diagnostic algorithms depending on the initial characteristics of
the patient [9-12]. The main diagnostic methods for GERD in real clinical practice include The Reflux Disease Questionnaire (GerdQ), PPI test, empirical proton pomp inhibitor (PPI) therapy for 12 weeks, upper endoscopy and biopsies, impedance pH-monitoring, but each of these methods has its own limitations. Some studies have showed that Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection is associated with the development of GERD. According to these data it is recommended to identify H. pylori among patients with GERD and initiate eradication therapy if the result is positive. H. pylori infection is widespread in Russia. According to our data around 50% of patients with different stomach diseases and 42% of patients with dyspepsia are infected with H. pylori infection in Russia [13, 14]. And the prevalence of H. pylori infection among doctors (general practitioners) in Saint-Petersburg is around 60% [15]. But some researches deny any relationship between GERD and H. pylori [16, 17].
Knowledge of risk factors for NERD, EE and Barrett's esophagus development helps to determine optimal treatment and surveillance for each patient with heterogeneous GERD phenotypes. Risk factors associated with the development of GERD were studied in different researches [5, 9-11]. Mazzoleni F. et al. (2019) in randomized clinical trial HEROESGERD showed that combination of increased body mass index and waist circumference predicts new-onset esophagitis [17]. The 12-month follow-up esophagitis rates for overweight and normal body weight patients were 13.6% (29/213) and 6.0% (10/167), respectively (p = 0.015); rates for patients with and without increased baseline waist circumference were 15.4% (24/156) and 6.7% (15/224), respectively (p = 0.006). Dietary habits (fat and spice food, carbonated drinks, fermentable carbohydrates), hiatal hernia, concomitant gastroenterological diseases, concomitant medications (antibiotics, calcium-channel blockers,
bisphosphonates), genetic factors [18] and psychological status of the patient [19] were determined to be associated with GERD occurrence. According to Schmidt M. et al. (2020) demographic, lifestyle, and clinical factors as well as GERD symptoms were associated with Barrett's esophagus development, suggesting that a combination of risk factors could be useful in developing individualized screening efforts for patients with Barrett's esophagus and GERD in Germany [20].
The first-line medical therapy of GERD is anti-secretory drugs, most commonly PPIs [17]. However, clinical practice data showed that about half of patients were refractory to PPI. In 20-50% of cases symptoms of GERD and/or endoscopic lesions of esophagus mucosa persisted during treatment with PPI for 8 weeks [17, 21]. In 50-90% of patients, during the PPI therapy or within a year after the withdrawal of PPIs, the symptoms of the disease recurred [22, 23]. Furthermore, there are differences between responses to PPI therapy in patients with EE and typical reflux
symptoms and patients with NERD: the response to standard dose of PPI in EE patients is about 55.5%, whereas the NERD patients have a rate of 36.7% [2, 24]. There are several explanations for PPI non-response or partial response, such as low compliance to prescribed therapy and inappropriate timing of administration, which may reduce the effect of the drug; individual pharmacokinetics of PPIs; weakly acidic reflux and remaining of alkaline reflux during PPI therapy [22-25]. Non-GERD conditions may also cause symptoms similar to GERD: Crohn's disease of upper GI tract, eosinophilic esophagitis, esophageal achalasia and others. In that cases non-response to PPI treatment may also occur.
The aim of the study was to identify the epidemiological and clinical factors predisposing to non-erosive reflux disease (NERD), erosive esophagitis (EE) and Barrett's esophagus in Russian population of patients and to develop a diagnostic model for GERD phenotypes.
2.Materials and methods
The study included 1433 patients with GERD from Moscow, Moscow region, St. Petersburg and Leningrad region. Written, informed consent was obtained from each patient included in the study. This study conformed to the ethical guidelines of the 1975 Declaration of Helsinki and was approved by the local ethical committee of Federal State Budgetary Educational Institution of Higher Education "NorthWestern State Medical University named after I.I. Mechnikov" of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation on 04.04.2018.
There were 595 (42%) men and 838 (58%) women with the average age 48 ± 16 years (from 7 to 91 years). The study design included 3 visits with an interval of 4 weeks, during which complaints and anamnestic data were gathered, anthropometry, upper endoscopy, tests for H. pylori infection and adherence evaluation were performed. For anti-secretory effect rabeprazole was prescribed for most of the patients (n=1333, 96%).
The obtained data were analyzed by parametric and non-parametric statistical methods with statistical programme «SPSS». Correlation analysis with Spearman rank correlation was used to identify the correlation of clinical characteristics with NERD, EE and Barrett's esophagus. 880 patients with GERD (407 with NERD, 443 with EE, 27 with Barrett's esophagus, 3 with esophageal stricture) were selected for correlation analysis due to the presence of all necessary parameters.
As potential risk factors for NERD, EE and Barrett's esophagus development were suggested the following: age, gender, body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC), smoking, H. pylori presence, hiatal hernia, duration of symptoms, previous PPIs therapy, concomitant therapy.
To develop multivariable model for GERD phenotype diagnosis (EE/NERD), multivariate analyses was used.
Results
Analysis of age and gender characteristics of patients showed that GERD was diagnosed in all age groups. Among male patients the most common was
the age group 30-39 years (30%), among female - age group 60-69 years (23%). These results correspond with published data, according to which the incidence of GERD is higher in the older age groups.
The number of patients with the high BMI was 895 (62.5%). A direct moderate association between BMI and the age of patients was found (Spearman's ratio=0.39). The high value of WC was detected in 193 (39%) men and in 380 (39 %) women.
Overweight and obesity are known to be associated with the development of GERD. Mazzoleni F. et al. (2019) in a randomized clinical trial of patients with functional dyspepsia HEROES-GERD (n=404) showed that EE is significantly more frequent in patients with overweight (p=0.015) compared with patients with normal body weight (13.6% and 6.0% respectively). Significant differences were also found in the prevalence of EE depending on the WC: 15.4% in patients with high WC values and 6.7% in patients with normal WC values (p=0.006) [17].
914 (65%) patients didn't smoke, 200 (14%) patients were smokers in the past, 299 (21%) patients were current smokers. According to x2-test no significant differences were found between smoking and the grade of EE (A and B-D). According to published data the role of smoking in the development of GERD is not well defined, while the carcinogenic effect of tobacco smoking is well established.
130 (9%) patients were taking concomitant therapy, which included low doses of aspirin, NSAIDs, calcium-channel blockers, beta-blockers, statins, and a combination of these drugs. In the presence of concomitant therapy all patients were diagnosed with erosive esophagitis, most of whom (534 patients; 93%) revealed stages A and B, which required differential diagnosis with drug-induced esophageal injury.
According to the Gerd-Q results moderate and high probability of GERD was determined in 635 (44%) and 560 (39%) patients respectively. Gerd-Q test results were significantly higher in male patients compared with female patient; in the group of patients older than 45 years compared with patients younger than 45 years, as well as in the group of patients with high BMI (>25) compared with the patients with normal BMI range (Mann-Whitney U-test, p <0.05).
According to Gerd-Q test, a low probability of GERD was determined in 238 (17%) patients. This data reflected the possibility of esophageal lesions without any reflux symptoms. In patients with EE significant difference between Gerd-Q results and EE grade was revealed: in patients with EE grade B-D results of Gerd-Q were significantly higher compared to patients with EE grade A (the Mann-Whitney test, p <0.05). The sensitivity of Gerd-Q test in the diagnosis of EE was 82%, specificity - 16%. Thus, high probability of GERD according to the Gerd-Q results reflected the risk of high-grade esophageal lesions, but was not applicable for differential diagnosis between EE, NERD and other disorders of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract.
The distribution of patients with GERD according to the endoscopic findings is shown in the Figure 1. EE was detected in 443 (50.3%) patients, NERD with and
without catarrhal esophagitis - in 407 (47%). The Russian patients. However, according to published prevalence of two main GERD phenotypes - EE and data, in the last decade, prevalence of NERD is higher, NERD - was approximately equal in the population of than EE [1-2].

H. pylori was examined in all patients with GERD and was detected in 271 (23%) patients. The most frequently used methods for diagnosing of H. pylori were the rapid urease test, Helic-test, the 13C-urea
breath test and serological analysis. Among patients with EE and H. pylori, grades B-D were observed 1.3 times more often than among patients with EE without H. pylori (p <0.05, 95%CI = 1.02-1.54) (Fig. 2).

557 (39,7%) patients did not use PPIs previously. Among patients with previous PPIs therapy, PPIs were not effective in 288 (34%) patients with EE and in 559 (66%) patients with NERD. The fact that PPIs therapy in patients with NERD is not effective frequently than in patients with EE can be explained by the heterogeneous mechanisms of NERD which might not be associated with increased acid production.
Among the studied risk factors, male gender was significantly negatively correlated with NERD (p=0.002011). An inverse correlation was also found between NERD and older age groups (p=0.002459), high WC (p=0.003733), long duration of symptoms (p=0.012984), the results of the GerdQ questionnaire^ points (p=0.040030) (tab. 1).

3.Discussion
Among the examined population of patients with GERD, two main phenotypes of the disease — EE and NERD — were equally found, although, according to published data, in the last decade the prevalence of NERD is higher than EE [1-2].
The obtained results indicated a high probability of developing NERD in women, young age patients, with WC within the normal range, duration of symptoms less than 3 years, and low GerdQ scores<7 points. These parameters can be used by gastroenterologist in making a decision on the optimal diagnostic methods and therapy. In young female patients with normal WC and BMI, short duration of symptoms and low GerdQ scores, empirical course of PPIs might be considered. In case of PPIs refractory GERD 24-hours pH-monitoring might be helpful.
Male older patients with high BMI and WC, especially with long duration of symptoms, are at high risk for EE development and thus need to undergo upper endoscopy at initial diagnosis without empirical PPIs therapy. For these patients dietary and lifestyle recommendations should be included in the management plan.
Male patients with long-term GERD symptoms, with overweight and obesity, who do not take PPIs for the last 6 months are at high risk for Barrett's esophagus development, which means that they require regular endoscopic monitoring and decision on possible

surgical treatment in case of the absence of the clinical and/or endoscopic effect of acid-suppression therapy.
The obtained data showed that H. pylori can contribute to more severe erosive lesions of esophageal mucosa. According to the WGO guidelines in populations with high H. pylori prevalence all patients with GERD should be tested for H. pylori and in case of positive results - eradication therapy should be prescribed.
The possible limitation of the study is the lack of novelty, due to existence of the similar studies in the European and Eastern countries. However, in Russian Federation, this multicenter approach was used for the first time, and proposed statistical model for GERD phenotype diagnosis is original.
4.Conclusion
The prevalence of two main GERD phenotypes -EE and NERD - is approximately equal in the population of Russian megalopolises patients. Female gender, young age, normal BMI and waist circumference, short duration of symptoms and Gerd-Q results less than 7 points were positively associated with NERD development compared with erosive esophagitis among Russian patients. Male patients with long-term GERD symptoms, with overweight and obesity, who do not take PPIs are at high risk of Barrett's esophagus development. The proposed diagnostic model could help the physician to decide on diagnostic methods and treatment options during initial

Ультразвуковое исследование позволяет быстро и адекватно оценить состояние поджелудочной железы. Для ультразвуковой характеристики морфологических изменений паренхимы поджелудочной железы используют два параметра: общую эхогенность и характер распределения отражённых эхосигналов. Известно, что повышение эхогенности паренхимы поджелудочной железы и появление неравномерности распределения отраженных эхосигналов, имеющих диффузный характер распределения, могут характеризовать возрастные изменения, а так же быть проявлением заболевания. Два наиболее часто встречаемые заболевания поджелудочной железы, характеризующиеся идентичными диффузными изменениями структуры паренхимы являются острый панкреатит и сахарный диабет. Однако измеренные показатели жесткости у пациентов с сахарным диабетом и острым панкреатитом имеют различные значения и составляют 5.1+1.7 кПа и 9.1+4.1кПа соответственно. Различия уровня признака в сравниваемых группах, рассчитанных по U-критерию Манна-Уитни статистически значимые (р< 0,05).
ABSTRACT
Ultrasound study allows for quick and accurate assessment of pancreas. Two parameters are used for ultrasound characteristic of morphological change in pancreatic parenchyma: total echogenicity and a distribution pattern of reflected echo signals. It is widely known that an increase of echogenicity in pancreatic parenchyma along with an emergence of uneven distribution of echo signals, that possess a diffusive distribution patterns, may characterize age related changes and be a manifestation of a disease. Two of the most common pancreatic diseases that are characterized by identical diffusive changes in the structure of the parenchyma are acute pancreatitis and diabetes mellitus. However, stiffness indicators observed in patients with diabetes mellitus and acute pancreatitis are different - 5.1+ 1.7 and 9.1 +4.1 respectively. Differences in that level of the compared groups are statistically significant (p<0.05), as calculated using Mann-Whitney U test.
