Summary

This study aims to evaluate the diagnosis and treatment methods for corrosive esophagitis based on 26 years of clinical experience. It will retrospectively analyze patient records to identify patterns in clinical outcomes, complications, and the effectiveness of treatment strategies. The study focuses on optimizing patient care by proposing a diagnosis and treatment algorithm that can guide future clinical practices. Data will be collected from hospital archives and electronic health records, covering cases of corrosive esophagitis managed at Ondokuz Mayıs University between 1998 and 2024.

Conditions

• Esophageal Diseases

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Routine Care for Corrosive Esophagitis	This is an observational study, so participants are not assigned interventions. However, the study investigates the outcomes of patients diagnosed with corrosive esophagitis who received routine clinical care. The exposure of interest includes diagnostic and treatment procedures such as endoscopic evaluation (Zargar classification), proton pump inhibitors, corticosteroid therapy, and surgical interventions for complications like strictures. The outcomes and clinical data collected reflect routine care practices over 26 years.
