The role of the endoscopic grading of gastric intestinal metaplasia in assessing gastric cancer risk: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background and aim

Patients with gastric intestinal metaplasia (IM) are at increased risk of gastric cancer (GC). The endoscopic grading of gastric intestinal metaplasia (EGGIM) with high-definition endoscopes has shown the potential to facilitate GC risk stratification. However, a comprehensive review and meta-analysis of published articles are lacking. We conducted a meta-analysis to access the value of EGGIM in the assessment of histological IM.

Materials

Studies were selected from PubMed, Medline, Embase, and Cochrane (last selection, Jun 2022). We extracted relevant data to calculate the accuracy of EGGIM compared with the operative link of gastric intestinal metaplasia (OLGIM) and to calculate pooled odds ratio (OR) with a 95% confidence interval (CI) assessing GC risk
