Consistency between the endoscopic Kyoto classification and pathological updated Sydney system for gastritis: A cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Two methods are used to evaluate gastritis: the updated Sydney system (USS) with pathology and Kyoto classification, a new endoscopy-based diagnostic criterion for which evidence is accumulating. However, the consistency of their results is unclear. This study investigated the consistency of their results.

Methods

Patients who underwent esophagogastroduodenoscopy and were evaluated for Helicobacter pylori infection for the first time were eligible. The association between corpus and antral USS scores (neutrophil activity, chronic inflammation, atrophy, and intestinal metaplasia) and Kyoto classification scores (atrophy, intestinal metaplasia, enlarged folds, nodularity, and diffuse redness) was assessed.

Results

Seven-hundred-seventeen patients (mean age, 4
