Popis: Abstract Background Portal hypertensive enteropathy (PHE) is a small-bowel lesion observed in patients with portal hypertension. The clinical significance of endoscopic findings in PHE remains unclear. We aimed to clarify the clinical significance and predictive factors of capsule endoscopic findings in patients with PHE based on long-term outcomes. Methods This retrospective study enrolled 55 patients with PHE (33 males and 22 females; median age, 64 years; range, 23–87) followed for > 3 years using capsule endoscopy (CE) between February 2009 and May 2023. We evaluated the clinical factors affecting PHE exacerbations and the effects of PHE exacerbations on gastrointestinal bleeding by comparing exacerbated and unchanged PHE groups. Results Overall, 3 (5%) patients showed improvement, 33 (60%) remained unchanged, and 19 (35%) showed exacerbation on follow-up CE. In the exacerbated group, the rates of worsened fibrosis-4 index, exacerbated esophageal varices, and exacerbated portal hypertensive gastropathy were significantly higher than those in the unchanged group (21%, 32%, and 42% vs. 3%, 6%, and 12%, respectively; P
