Socioeconomic status (SES) has been shown to impact incidences of other cancers, and this study aimed to assess the impact of race/ethnicity or SES on Barrett's esophagus progression. A total of 12,693 patients were included in the analysis, with 199 of these patients having low grade dysplasia, and a median follow-up time of 26.8 months. During the follow-up period 75 patients developed esophageal carcinoma (EC) and 74 patients were diagnosed with high-grade dysplasia. Overall, lower SES was found to be associated with prevalent EC, and household net worth over $150,000 was independently associated with decreased risk of prevalent EC compared to net worth less than $150,000. Race/ethnicity was not found to be an independent predictor of progression to incident EC.
