Core Tip |
To determine useful findings for predicting Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori)-uninfected, -infected, or -eradicated cases, we evaluated following 11 endoscopic findings, regular arrangement of collecting venules (RAC), linear erythema, hemorrhage, fundic gland polyp (FGP), atrophic change, rugal hyperplasia, edema, spotty erythema, exudate, xanthoma, and mottled patchy erythema (MPE). Among these, RAC, hemorrhage, FGP, atrophic change, and MPE were found to be predictive findings for H. pylori infection status on screening endoscopy. The knowledge of these findings may contribute to the early detection of gastric cancer.
