Our aim was to prospectively clarify the clinical characteristics of MWFLs, to identify their risk factors and to retrospectively evaluate the clinical progression of these lesions. Methods A prospective analysis of clinical characteristics and risk factors was conducted in participants who underwent esophagogastroduodenoscopic screening at our hospital. A retrospective analysis of the medical chart of patients identified as having MWFLs was conducted to describe the clinical progression of these lesions. Results The prevalence rate of MWFLs was 10.4% (80/767), with the following risk factors identified on a logistic regression analysis: use of proton pump inhibitors (odds ratio [OR], 3.51; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.92-6.43), female sex (OR, 1.92; 95% CI, 1.19-3.12) and a 1-year increase in age (OR, 1.05; 95% CI, 1.02-1.08). Among the 70 cases with MWFLs observed over a mean duration of 2.3 years, no progression of MWFLs was detected in 67 cases (96%). Among the 3 remaining cases, progression was mild, with none of the lesions progressing to malignancy. Conclusion The use of PPIs, female sex, and age are risk factors for MWFLs. We believe that endoscopists should recognize these lesions.
