| Abstract | BACKGROUND: Persons with Barrett's esophagus experience increased incidence of esophageal adenocarcinoma and may benefit from use of preventives. Studies suggest that statin medications may have chemopreventive properties; we therefore assessed the association between statin use and progression to esophageal adenocarcinoma. METHODS: In a prospective cohort of 411 persons with Barrett's, Cox regression was used to calculate HRs for nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) and statin use accounting for variation in use during follow-up and adjusting for age, sex, and smoking. RESULTS: The HRs for statin use among all participants were 0.59 [95% confidence interval (CI), 0.26-1.33] and 0.68 (95% CI, 0.30-1.54) before and after further adjustment for NSAID use, respectively. Among persons with high-grade dysplasia, the HRs for statin use were 0.31 (95% CI, 0.11-0.86) and 0.41 (95% CI, 0.13-1.26) before and after adding NSAIDs to the model, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: While the reduced risk of esophageal adenocarcinoma observed among statin users may be explained by chance, the point estimates are similar in magnitude to those previously reported for NSAID use in this cohort and are unlikely to be confounded by known risk factors. IMPACT: Further study in larger cohorts and meta-analyses of the potential for statins to reduce risk of esophageal adenocarcinoma is warranted. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
