| Core Tip |
This study demonstrates that endoscopists and endoscopic assistants with high qualifications, rather than the endoscopist biopsy rate, significantly improve the detection of gastric precancerous lesions (GPLs). Qualified endoscopists showed higher GPLs detection rates, particularly in the gastric cardia, angularis, and body regions. This suggests that a high endoscopist biopsy rate alone is not sufficient for detecting GPLs. Instead, greater emphasis should be placed on improving the qualifications of endoscopists and appropriate collaboration between endoscopists and assistants to perform accurate biopsies. These findings provide valuable insights for developing gastroscopic quality control standards. |
