Barrett's oesophagus length is established at the time of initial endoscopy and does not change over time: results from a large multicentre cohort

Conclusions
There was no significant difference in BO length by age category in decades. In addition, the change in BO length from index to follow-up endoscopy was similar among patients >30 years. These findings suggest that a patient's BO segment length attains its full extent by the time of the initial endoscopic examination.
