Abstract

Background & aims Use of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) has been associated with elevated levels of serum gastrin. Because hypergastrinemia increases colorectal mucosa proliferation and has been associated with risk of colorectal cancer (CRC) in human beings, we conducted a large population-based study in Denmark to assess whether PPI use is associated with CRC risk.Methods We conducted the study in North Jutland County, Denmark. From the County Hospital Discharge Registry we identified incident cases of CRC during the period 1989-2005. Using risk set sampling we selected approximately 10 controls from the Danish Civil Registration System, with matching for sex and birth year. PPI use was ascertained in the Prescription Database of North Jutland (and so recorded before CRC diagnosis) and analyzed with conditional logistic regression adjusted for multiple covariates.Results We identified 5589 cases of CRC which were compared with 55,890 controls. In a comparison of ever to never or rare users (< or =30 pills during observation period), no evidence was observed of increased risk (adjusted odds ratio [OR], 1.11; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.97-1.27). When we compared the most intense users of PPI (more than every other day) with never or rare users, we found that no increased cancer risk was shown in either short-term users (adjusted OR, 1.07; 95% CI, 0.86-1.34) or long-term users (>7 years; adjusted OR = 1.09; 95% CI, 0.58-2.06).Conclusions The use of PPIs in clinical practice does not measurably increase the risk of CRC.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
