METHODSWe conducted a national, cross-sectional study of 4,252 male veterans≥ 65 years who received a new BE diagnosis in 2011 to calculate their estimated life expectancy. These veterans had an outpatient visit in 2011 at 104 Veteran Affairs (VA) facilities and were diagnosed with incident BE (based on ICD 9-CM code 530.85) in VA National Patient Care Database or Medicare between 1/1/11-12/31/11. A chart validation of this algorithm for identifying incident BE using VA claims data had a positive predictive value> 93% 4. We excluded men enrolled in Medicare managed care and those with history of BE, decompensated liver disease, metastatic cancer, or other diseases of the esophagogastric region within 5 years preceding BE diagnosis.
