Endoscopic risk factors to inform early detection of gastric cancer after <i>Helicobacter pylori</i> eradication: Meta-analysis and systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Helicobacter pylori eradication reduces but cannot eliminate the risk of gastric cancer (GC). The prevalence of post-eradication GC has been rising. Characterization of the endoscopic findings of post-eradication GC may facilitate its early detection. We performed a meta-analysis and systematic review to clarify endoscopic risk factors to accelerate the early diagnosis of post-eradication GC.

Methods

Medline and PubMed were searched for randomized controlled trials, cohort studies, and case-control studies published in the English-language medical literature between January 1997 and July 2023. The included articles assessed the correlation between post-eradication GC and pre- and post-eradication endoscopic findings, and associated post-eradication GC with
