Author's reply: “Bile reflux is associated with Barrett's esophagus”

We extend our gratitude to Dr. Li [1] and colleagues for their keen interest in our research, as expressed through their research letter which comments on our article, entitled “Association between endoscopic evidence of bile reflux and Barrett's esophagus: A large-scale case-control study” [2]. They conducted a meta-analysis including 6 cohort studies and concluded that bile reflux was associated with an increased risk of Barrett's esophagus, consistent with our study results.
