| Core Tip |
Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy is frequently performed by both gastroenterologists and general surgeons in geographically remote and specialist-limited settings, yet data comparing diagnostic yield between specialties remain limited. In this 10-year real-world study including 8825 procedures, gastroenterologists obtained biopsies more frequently, performed multisite sampling more often, and detected Helicobacter pylori infection and dysplasia more frequently than general surgeons. However, the association between endoscopist specialty and intestinal metaplasia detection was attenuated after adjustment for biopsy sampling intensity and temporal factors. These findings suggest that biopsy strategy and sampling behavior may influence the detection of premalignant gastric lesions more strongly than specialty background alone and highlight the importance of standardized biopsy protocols and quality-focused endoscopy training. |
