Background/Aims: Previous studies have shown that rebamipide is potentially protective against gastric cancer; however, no epidemiologic studies of its chemopreventive effects in patients who have a high risk of gastric cancer have been performed. The aim of this study was to investigate whether rebamipide administration reduces the risk of gastric cancer. Methods: We conducted a population-based cohort study using data retrospectively collected from the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service database in Korea. Patients who underwent endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for early gastric neoplasms between 2011 and 2014 were included. Results: During 73,416 person-years of follow-up, 711 patients were newly diagnosed with gastric cancer, including 377 low-dose (below median) and 334 high-dose (above median) rebamipide users (37,157.4 and 36,258.3 per 100,000 person-years, respectively; log-rank test, p = 0.052). There were significant differences in gastric cancer incidence rates according to age, sex, and initial diagnosis at the time of index ESD. After adjusting for these clinical factors, high-dose use was associated with a reduced risk of gastric cancer (hazard ratio 0.858; 95% CI 0.739-0.995, p = 0.043). Conclusion: High-dose rebamipide is associated with reduced gastric cancer risk in high-risk populations who undergo endoscopic resection for early gastric neoplasms. (C) 2018 S. Karger AG, Basel
