The rare occurrence of collagenous gastritis poses challenges in investigating its epidemiological features. This study revealed that CG is more common in female patients, exhibits a bimodal age distribution, and has significant associations with other lymphocytic disorders. Patients with CG typically present with symptoms such as diarrhea and anemia.
Background: the rare occurrence of collagenous gastritis (CG) makes its epidemiology difficult to investigate. We designed a study to determine the demographic and clinical characteristics as well as the associations of CG with other upper gastrointestinal diseases in a large national clinicopathological database. Methods: from the IDEA database we extracted all patients with histopathologically documented CG and, in a case-control study, we compared 168 subjects with and 1,286,165 subjects without CG using odds ratios (OR) with their 95% confidence intervals (CI). Results: the prevalence of CG was 13 per 10 0,0 0 0 EGDs. CG was significantly more common among female than male patients (OR: 1.69, 95% CI: 1.20-2.39) and was characterized by a bi-modal age distribution (first peak in patients aged 10-19, second peak primarily in females aged > 60 years). CG patients presented with diarrhea (18%), anemia (12%), weight loss (11%), and vomiting (10%). CG was significantly associated with other lymphocytic disorders of the upper gastrointestinal tract, including celiac sprue (2.12, 1.55-2.88), duodenal intraepithelial lymphocytosis (3.71, 2.30-5.98), and lymphocytic gastritis (23.2, 10.9-49.5). CG persisted in 69% of patients who underwent multiple consecutive endoscopies. Conclusions: the epidemiologic features of collagenous gastritis reflect on different etiologies contributing to its occurrence in children and adults.
