Core Tip This editorial provides a critical analysis and appraisal of Shen et al’s study, which links six complete blood count-derived inflammatory indices (systemic inflammation markers) with gastric ulcer (GU) and demonstrates that systemic inflammatory response index (SIRI) exhibits the highest predictive value (area under the curve = 0.868) among these indices. While these inexpensive and accessible markers particularly SIRI may serve as practical tools for GU risk stratification, the editorial introduces a refined clinical framework for their application in this context and emphasizes the essential need for confirmation in prospective multicenter studies that account for Helicobacter pylori and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug confounders.
