ABSTRACT<br />
Objectives: Calculate sliding <strong>hiata</strong>l hernia prevalence in the pacients with erosive<br />
esophagitis, who had done upper gastrointestinal endoscopy at HU-<strong>UFSC</strong>; and to compare the<br />
mean age, sex pro<strong>por</strong>tion and the gravity of esophagitis, beetwen patients with and without<br />
<strong>hiata</strong>l hernia.<br />
Methods: Observacional and transversal study realised with 460 patients with erosive<br />
esophagitis (by Savary-Miller classification) who had done upper gastrointestinal endoscopy<br />
at HU-<strong>UFSC</strong> from nov/01/2003 to oct/31/2006; that mensured the prevalence of <strong>hiata</strong>l hernia,<br />
and compared the mean age, the sex pro<strong>por</strong>tion and the gravity of esophagitis beetwen<br />
patients with and without <strong>hiata</strong>l hernia.<br />
Results: Hiatal hernia prevalence was 43,04% (198 patients). In the patients with <strong>hiata</strong>l<br />
hernia, the mean age was 54,31 years, versus 47,11 years in the group without hernia<br />
