BACKGROUND: @entity1 with @entity355 have an increased risk of @entity420 but this @entity5 only accounts for a small proportion of @entity204 in these @entity1 . Other causes of @entity204 are reportedly raised in this group. We examined cause specific mortality among individuals in a population based @entity355 register. METHODS: We constructed a register of all @entity1 diagnosed with columnar mucosa (including specialised @entity1944 ) of the oesophagus within Northern Ireland between 1993 and 1999. Deaths occurring within this cohort until 31 December 2000 were identified and mortality rates were compared with the general population. RESULTS: Overall mortality was not raised in Barrett's @entity1 . During 7413 @entity1 years of follow up in 2373 @entity1 there were 253 @entity204 (standardised mortality ratio (SMR) 96 (95% confidence interval (CI) 84-107)). Mortality from @entity5 was raised in @entity1 with specialised @entity1944 (SMR 774 (95% CI 317-1231)) but only 4.7% of @entity1 died from this @entity5 . Mortality from @entity64 (SMR 65 (95% CI 37-93)) was significantly lower than the general population while mortality from non-cancerous digestive system diseases was significantly higher (SMR 211 (95% CI 111-311)). Mortality rates from all other causes were similar to those of the general population. CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrates that the overall mortality rate in @entity1 with @entity355 is closely similar to that of the general population. @entity5 mortality was raised but is an uncommon cause of @entity204 in these @entity1 who also appear to have a reduced risk of @entity204 from @entity64 .
