We systematically searched PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane from inception to January 6, 2025. Cohort, case\u2013control, and cross\u2010sectional studies were included. Controls were distinguished with or without a histopathological examination.

Our results did not show an association between proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and MC, compared to histological controls (OR\u2009=\u20091.81, CI: 0.75\u20134.35), except in the case of random controls (OR\u2009=\u20094.31, CI: 1.66\u201311.20). Neither current (OR\u2009=\u20091.35, CI: 0.88\u20132.06) nor previous smoking (OR\u2009=\u20091.26, CI: 0.67\u20132.39) increased the odds of MC compared to histological controls. In contrast, the odds doubled for current smoking and slightly changed for past smoking when MC patients were compared to random controls (OR\u2009=\u20092.40, CI: 1.64\u20133.50; OR\u2009=\u20091.11, CI: 0.93\u20131.31).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>NSAID and statin treatment were associated with an increased risk for MC compared to histological controls.
