Abstract
BACKGROUND Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection is closely related to the development of gastric cancer (GC). However, GC can develop even after H. pylori eradication. Therefore, it would be extremely useful if GC could be predicted after eradication. The Kyoto classification score for gastritis (GA) is closely related to cancer risk. However, how the score for GC changes after eradication before onset is not well understood.
AIM To investigate the characteristics of the progression of Kyoto classification scores for GC after H. pylori eradication.
METHODS Eradication of H. pylori was confirmed in all patients using either the urea breath test or the stool antigen test. The Kyoto classification score of GC patients was evaluated by endoscopy at the time of event onset and three years earlier. In addition, the modified atrophy score was evaluated and compared between the GC group and the control GA group.
RESULTS In total, 30 cases of early GC and 30 cases of chronic GA were evaluated. The pathology of the cancer cases was differentiated adenocarcinoma, except for one case of undifferentiated adenocarcinoma. The total score of the Kyoto classification was significantly higher in the GC group both at the time of cancer onset and three years earlier (4.97 vs 3.73, P = 0.0034; 4.2 vs 3.1, P = 0.0035, respectively). The modified atrophy score was significantly higher in the GC group both at the time of cancer onset and three years earlier and was significantly improved only in the GA group (5.3 vs 5.3, P = 0.5; 3.73 vs 3.1, P = 0.0475, respectively).
CONCLUSION The course of the modified atrophy score is useful for predicting the onset of GC after eradication. Patients with severe atrophy after H. pylori eradication require careful monitoring.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastric cancer (GC) incidence based on the endoscopic Kyoto classification of gastritis has not been systematically investigated using time-to-event analysis. AIM To examine GC incidence in an endoscopic surveillance cohort. METHODS This study was retrospectively conducted at the Toyoshima Endoscopy Clinic. Patients who underwent two or more esophagogastroduodenoscopies were enrolled. GC incidence was based on Kyoto classification scores, such as atrophy, intestinal metaplasia (IM), enlarged folds (EFs), nodularity, diffuse redness (DR), and total Kyoto scores. Hazard ratios (HRs) adjusted for age and sex were calculated using a Cox hazard model. RESULTS A total of 6718 patients were enrolled (median age 54.0 years; men 44.2%). During the follow-up period (max 5.02 years; median 2.56 years), GC developed in 34 patients. The average frequency of GCs per year was 0.19%. Kyoto atrophy scores 1 [HR with score 0 as reference: 3.66, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.06 to 12.61], 2 (11.60, 3.82-35.27), IM score 2 (9.92, 4.37-22.54), EF score 1 (4.03, 1.63-9.96), DR scores 1 (6.22, 2.65-14.56), and 2 (10.01, 3.73-26.86) were associated with GC incidence, whereas nodularity scores were not. The total Kyoto scores of 4 (HR with total Kyoto scores 0-1 as reference: 6.23, 95%CI: 1.93 to 20.13, P = 0.002) and 5-8 (16.45, 6.29-43.03, P < 0.001) were more likely to develop GC, whereas the total Kyoto scores 2-3 were not. The HR of the total Kyoto score for developing GC per 1 rank was 1.75 (95%CI: 1.46 to 2.09, P < 0.001). CONCLUSION A high total Kyoto score (≥ 4) was associated with GC incidence. The endoscopy-based diagnosis of gastritis can stratify GC risk.

Abstract
This editorial provides an update of the recent evidence on the endoscopy-based Kyoto classification of gastritis, clarifying the shortcomings of the Kyoto classification, and providing prospects for future research, with particular focus on the histological subtypes of gastric cancer (GC) and Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection status. The total Kyoto score is designed to express GC risk on a score ranging from 0 to 8, based on the following five endoscopic findings: Atrophy, intestinal metaplasia (IM), enlarged folds (EF), nodularity, and diffuse redness (DR). The total Kyoto score reflects H. pylori status as follows: 0, ≥ 2, and ≥ 4 indicate a normal stomach, H. pylori-infected gastritis, and gastritis at risk for GC, respectively. Regular arrangement of collecting venules (RAC) predicts non-infection; EF, nodularity, and DR predict current infection; map-like redness (MLR) predicts past infection; and atrophy and IM predict current or past infection. Atrophy, IM, and EF all increase the incidence of H. pylori-infected GC. MLR is a specific risk factor for H. pylori-eradicated GC, while RAC results in less GC. Diffuse-type GC can be induced by active inflammation, which presents as EF, nodularity, and atrophy on endoscopy, as well as neutrophil and mononuclear cell infiltration on histology. In contrast, intestinal-type GC develops via atrophy and IM, and is consistent between endoscopy and histology. However, this GC risk-scoring design needs to be improved.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In Japan, laser light source (Laser) endoscopy is widely available, and the characteristics of light-emitting diode light source (LED) endoscopy have not been clarified. AIMS We assessed the visibility of early gastric cancers (EGCs) and Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori)-associated gastritis for LED endoscopy compared with laser endoscopy using white-light imaging (WLI) and linked color imaging (LCI). METHODS We assessed 99 lesions between February 2019 and March 2020. The visibility was scored from four (excellent visibility) to one (poor visibility) by evaluating videos including EGCs and gastric mucosa captured using WLI and LCI with LED endoscopy (LED-WLI and LED-LCI, respectively) and laser endoscopy (Laser-WLI and Laser-LCI, respectively). The primary end point was the non-inferiority of the visibility of EGCs and H. pylori-associated gastritis between LED-/Laser-WLI and LED-/Laser-LCI. RESULTS The visibility scores of EGCs for LED-/Laser-WLI and LED-/Laser-LCI were 3.14/2.97 and 3.39/3.35, respectively. The visibility scores of H. pylori-associated gastritis [intestinal metaplasia (IM), diffuse redness (DR), regular arrangement of collecting venules (RAC) and map-like redness (MR)] for LED-/Laser-WLI and LED-/Laser-LCI were 3.05/2.85 and 3.60/3.50 (IM), 2.76/2.50 and 2.96/2.86 (DR), 2.69/2.44 and 2.77/2.62 (RAC) and 2.97/2.75 and 3.39/3.27 (MR). Non-inferiority was demonstrated for visualizing EGCs and H. pylori-associated gastritis. CONCLUSIONS LED-WLI and LED-LCI can be used to visualize EGCs and H. pylori-associated gastritis with non-inferiority to Laser-WLI and Laser-LCI. Furthermore, even with LED, LCI was more effective than WLI for evaluating EGCs and H. pylori-associated gastritis. Therefore, LED endoscopy can be used to detect EGCs and evaluate H. pylori-associated gastritis accurately.

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, 49.2 years; female sex, 57.9%; 450 H. pylori-positive and 267 H. pylori-negative patients) were enrolled. All endoscopic gastritis cases in the Kyoto classification were associated with high corpus and antral USS scores for neutrophil activity and chronic inflammation. A subanalysis was performed for H. pylori-positive patients. Regarding atrophy and intestinal metaplasia, endoscopic findings were associated with USS scores. Enlarged folds, nodularity, and diffuse redness were associated with high corpus USS scores for neutrophil activity and chronic inflammation, but with low antral USS scores for atrophy and intestinal metaplasia. The Kyoto classification scores were also associated with the pathological topographic distribution of neutrophil activity and intestinal metaplasia. CONCLUSIONS Among H. pylori-positive individuals, endoscopic and pathological diagnoses were consistent with atrophy and intestinal metaplasia. Enlarged folds, nodularity, and diffuse redness were associated with pathological inflammation (neutrophil activity and chronic inflammation) of the corpus; however, they were inversely associated with pathological atrophy and intestinal metaplasia. The endoscopy-based Kyoto classification of gastritis partially reflects pathology.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Accurate diagnosis of the depth of gastric cancer invasion is crucial in clinical practice. The diagnosis of gastric cancer depth is often made using endoscopic characteristics of the tumor and its margins; however, evaluating invasion depth based on endoscopic background gastritis remains unclear.
AIM To investigate predicting submucosal invasion using the endoscopy-based Kyoto classification of gastritis.
METHODS Patients with gastric cancer detected on esophagogastroduodenoscopy at Toyoshima Endoscopy Clinic were enrolled. We analyzed the effects of patient and tumor characteristics, including age, sex, body mass index, surveillance endoscopy within 2 years, current Helicobacter pylori infection, the Kyoto classification, and Lauren’s tumor type, on submucosal tumor invasion and curative endoscopic resection. The Kyoto classification included atrophy, intestinal metaplasia, enlarged folds, nodularity, and diffuse redness. Atrophy was characterized by non-reddish and low mucosa. Intestinal metaplasia was detected as patchy whitish or grayish-white flat elevations, forming an irregular uneven surface. An enlarged fold referred to a fold width ≥ 5 mm in the greater curvature of the corpus. Nodularity was characterized by goosebump-like multiple nodules in the antrum. Diffuse redness was characterized by uniform reddish non-atrophic mucosa in the greater curvature of the corpus.
RESULTS A total of 266 gastric cancer patients (mean age, 66.7 years; male sex, 58.6%; mean body mass index, 22.8 kg/m2) were enrolled. Ninety-three patients underwent esophagogastroduodenoscopy for surveillance within 2 years, and 140 had current Helicobacter pylori infection. The mean Kyoto score was 4.54. Fifty-eight cancers were diffuse-type, and 87 cancers had invaded the submucosa. Multivariate analysis revealed that low body mass index (odds ratio 0.88, P = 0.02), no surveillance esophagogastroduodenoscopy within 2 years (odds ratio 0.15, P < 0.001), endoscopic enlarged folds of gastritis (odds ratio 3.39, P = 0.001), and Lauren’s diffuse-type (odds ratio 5.09, P < 0.001) were independently associated with submucosal invasion. Similar results were obtained with curative endoscopic resection. Among cancer patients with enlarged folds, severely enlarged folds (width ≥ 10 mm) were more related to submucosal invasion than mildly enlarged folds (width 5-9 mm, P < 0.001).
CONCLUSION Enlarged folds of gastritis were associated with submucosal invasion. Endoscopic observation of background gastritis as well as the lesion itself may help diagnose the depth of cancer invasion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastric cancers can be categorized into diffuse- and intestinal-type cancers based on the Lauren histopathological classification. These two subtypes show distinct differences in metastasis frequency, treatment application, and prognosis. Therefore, accurately assessing the Lauren classification before treatment is crucial. However, studies on the gastritis endoscopy-based Kyoto classification have recently shown that endoscopic diagnosis has improved.
AIM To investigate patient characteristics including endoscopic gastritis associated with diffuse- and intestinal-type gastric cancers in Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori)-infected patients.
METHODS Patients who underwent esophagogastroduodenoscopy at the Toyoshima Endoscopy Clinic were enrolled. The Kyoto classification included atrophy, intestinal metaplasia, enlarged folds, nodularity, and diffuse redness. The effects of age, sex, and Kyoto classification score on gastric cancer according to the Lauren classification were analyzed. We developed the Lauren predictive background score based on the coefficients of a logistic regression model using variables independently associated with the Lauren classification. Area under the receiver operative characteristic curve and diagnostic accuracy of this score were examined.
RESULTS A total of 499 H. pylori-infected patients (49.6% males; average age: 54.9 years) were enrolled; 132 patients with gastric cancer (39 diffuse- and 93 intestinal-type cancers) and 367 cancer-free controls were eligible. Gastric cancer was independently associated with age ≥ 65 years, high atrophy score, high intestinal metaplasia score, and low nodularity score when compared to the control. Factors independently associated with intestinal-type cancer were age ≥ 65 years (coefficient: 1.98), male sex (coefficient: 1.02), high intestinal metaplasia score (coefficient: 0.68), and low enlarged folds score (coefficient: -1.31) when compared to diffuse-type cancer. The Lauren predictive background score was defined as the sum of +2 (age ≥ 65 years), +1 (male sex), +1 (endoscopic intestinal metaplasia), and -1 (endoscopic enlarged folds) points. Area under the receiver operative characteristic curve of the Lauren predictive background score was 0.828 for predicting intestinal-type cancer. With a cut-off value of +2, the sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of the Lauren predictive background score were 81.7%, 71.8%, and 78.8%, respectively.
CONCLUSION Patient backgrounds, such as age, sex, endoscopic intestinal metaplasia, and endoscopic enlarged folds are useful for predicting the Lauren type of gastric cancer.

Abstract
Background and Aim Based on past diagnostic classifications of gastritis, the Kyoto classification of gastritis adopts simpler, more objective gastritis findings according to Helicobacter pylori infection status and evaluates the risk of gastric cancer. To clarify whether this score can predict future gastric cancer, we retrospectively examined risk scores obtained using the Kyoto classification of gastritis a few years prior to the diagnosis of early gastric cancer. Methods We reviewed data from 50 individuals who had undergone upper gastrointestinal endoscopy 2–3 years prior to the diagnosis of early gastric cancer in our hospital. Two expert endoscopists evaluated and compared risk scores obtained using the Kyoto classification of gastritis between cancer and control groups. Results With regard to the risk score obtained using the Kyoto classification of gastritis in all cases, atrophy, intestinal metaplasia, diffuse redness, and total score were significantly higher among gastric cancer cases. Among H. pylori‐eradicated cases, atrophy score was higher in the gastric cancer group. Among patients for whom H. pylori had been eradicated for >3 years at first endoscopy, atrophy score was still higher in the gastric cancer group. Conclusion This retrospective study suggested that the risk score obtained using the Kyoto classification of gastritis was useful for predicting the onset of gastric cancer. In particular, patients with a high atrophy score even after H. pylori eradication may be at high risk of developing gastric cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Endoscopic Kyoto classification predicts gastric cancer risk; however, the score in the patients with primary gastric cancer after Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) eradication therapy is unknown.
AIM To elucidate the Kyoto classification score in patients with both single gastric cancer and multiple gastric cancers developed after H. pylori eradication.
METHODS The endoscopist recorded the Kyoto classification at the endoscope and the Kyoto classification score at the time of the first diagnosis of gastric cancer after H. pylori eradication. The score was compared between single gastric cancer group and multiple gastric cancers group.
RESULTS The Kyoto score at the time of diagnosis of 45 cases of gastric cancer after H. pylori eradication was 4.0 points in average. The score was 3.8 points in the single gastric cancer group, and 5.1 points in the multiple gastric cancers group. The multiple group had a significantly higher score than the single group (P = 0.016). In the multiple gastric cancers group, all the patients (7/7) had 5 or higher Kyoto score, while in single gastric cancer group, the proportion of patients with a score of 5 or higher was less than half, or 44.7% (17/38).
CONCLUSION Patients diagnosed with gastric cancer after H. pylori eradication tended to have advanced gastritis. In particular, in cases of multiple gastric cancers developed after H. pylori eradication, the endoscopic Kyoto classification score tended to be 5 or higher in patients with an open type atrophic gastritis and the intestinal metaplasia extended to the corpus.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Endoscopy-based Kyoto classification for gastritis and pathological topographic distribution of neutrophil infiltration are correlated with gastric cancer risk. AIM To investigate the association between Kyoto classification and the topographic distribution of neutrophil activity. METHODS Kyoto classification score, ranging from 0 to 8, consisted of atrophy, intestinal metaplasia, enlarged folds, nodularity, and diffuse redness. Neutrophil activity was scored according to the updated Sydney System using biopsy samples obtained from the greater curvature of the corpus and the antrum. The participants were divided into four categories, inactive stomach, antrum-predominant gastritis, pangastritis, and corpus-predominant gastritis, based on the topographic distribution of neutrophil activity. Effects of sex, age, body mass index, drinking habit, smoking habit, family history of gastric cancer, serum Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) antibody, and Kyoto score on topography of neutrophil infiltration were analyzed. RESULTS A total of 327 patients (comprising 50.7% women, with an average age of 50.2 years) were enrolled in this study. H. pylori infection rate was 82.9% with a mean Kyoto score of 4.63. The Kyoto score was associated with the topographic distribution of neutrophil activity. Kyoto scores were significantly higher in the order of inactive stomach, antrum-predominant gastritis, pangastritis, and corpus-predominant gastritis (3.05, 4.57, 5.21, and 5.96, respectively). Each individual score of endoscopic findings (i.e., atrophy, intestinal metaplasia, enlarged folds, nodularity, and diffuse redness) was correlated with the topographic distribution of neutrophil activity. On multivariate analysis, the Kyoto score, age, and serum H. pylori antibody were independently associated with the topographic distribution of neutrophil activity. CONCLUSION The Kyoto classification score was associated with the topographic distribution of neutrophil activity.

Abstract
Background and Aim Endoscopy‐based Kyoto classification predicts the risk of Helicobacter pylori infection and gastric cancer; however, the change in score following H. pylori eradication remains unknown. We retrospectively compared the Kyoto score before and after H. pylori eradication. Methods H. pylori‐positive patients who underwent baseline esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD), successful H. pylori eradication, and surveillance EGD were enrolled. The Kyoto score is a sum of scores for atrophy (Kimura‐Takemoto atrophic‐border classification none or C1: 0, C‐II or C‐III: 1, O‐I to O‐III: 2), intestinal metaplasia (none: 0, antrum: 1, corpus and antrum: 2), enlarged folds (absence: 0, presence: 1), nodularity (absence: 0, presence: 1), and diffuse redness (none: 0, mild: 1, severe: 2) and ranges from 0 to 8. Results Eighty‐three patients (mean age: 54.9 years; 65.1% women) were enrolled. The mean duration from successful eradication to surveillance EGD was 256 days. The Kyoto score significantly decreased from 3.90 to 2.78 following H. pylori eradication (P < 0.001). Scores for endoscopic atrophy (from 1.43 to 1.46, P = 0.638) and endoscopic intestinal metaplasia (from 0.53 to 0.47, P = 0.543) did not change; however, there was significant improvement in the scores for enlarged folds (from 0.14 to 0.00, P = 0.002), nodularity (from 0.18 to 0.04, P = 0.002), and diffuse redness (from 1.61 to 0.82, P < 0.001). Conclusion The Kyoto classification score decreased following H. pylori eradication. A decrease in the scores for enlarged folds, nodularity, and diffuse redness contributed to the decrease in Kyoto score.

Abstract
Recent advances in endoscopic technology allow detailed observation of the gastric mucosa. Today, endoscopy is used in the diagnosis of gastritis to determine the presence/absence of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection and evaluate gastric cancer risk. In 2013, the Japan Gastroenterological Endoscopy Society advocated the Kyoto classification, a new grading system for endoscopic gastritis. The Kyoto classification organized endoscopic findings related to H. pylori infection. The Kyoto classification score is the sum of scores for five endoscopic findings (atrophy, intestinal metaplasia, enlarged folds, nodularity, and diffuse redness with or without regular arrangement of collecting venules) and ranges from 0 to 8. Atrophy, intestinal metaplasia, enlarged folds, and nodularity contribute to gastric cancer risk. Diffuse redness and regular arrangement of collecting venules are related to H. pylori infection status. In subjects without a history of H. pylori eradication, the infection rates in those with Kyoto scores of 0, 1, and ≥ 2 were 1.5%, 45%, and 82%, respectively. A Kyoto classification score of 0 indicates no H. pylori infection. A Kyoto classification score of 2 or more indicates H. pylori infection. Kyoto classification scores of patients with and without gastric cancer were 4.8 and 3.8, respectively. A Kyoto classification score of 4 or more might indicate gastric cancer risk.

Abstract
Endoscopic diagnosis of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection, the most common cause of gastric cancer, is very important to clarify high-risk patients of gastric cancer for reducing morbidity and mortality of gastric cancer. Recently, the Kyoto classification of gastritis was developed based on the endoscopic characteristics of H. pylori infection-associated gastritis for clarifying H. pylori infection status and evaluating risk factors of gastric cancer. Recently, magnifying endoscopy with narrow-band imaging (NBI) has reported benefits of the accuracy and reproducibility of endoscopic diagnosis for H. pylori-related premalignant lesions. In addition to NBI, various types of image-enhanced endoscopies (IEEs) are available including autofluorescence imaging, blue laser imaging, and linked color imaging. This review focuses on understanding the clinical applications and the corresponding evidences shown to improve the diagnosis of gastritis based on Kyoto classification using currently available advanced technologies of IEEs.

Abstract
Background and Aims: To determine whether serum acylated ghrelin levels were associated with anxiety, clinical symptoms, depressive status, quality of life, gastric motility and endoscopic findings based on Kyoto classification in functional dyspepsia (FD) patients. Methods: We enrolled three groups, FD patients (n = 15) with high levels of acylated ghrelin, FD patients (n = 33) with normal levels of acylated ghrelin and FD patients (n = 35) with low levels of acylated ghrelin. There was no significant differences in the positivity of Helicobacter pylori infection among the three groups. Clinical symptoms were evaluated by Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale (GSRS) and FD symptoms based on Rome III classification. Acylated ghrelin levels were measured by ELISA methods. Depressive status, anxiety, sleep disturbance were respectively asscessed by Self-rating questionnaire for depression (SRQ-D) score, STAI-state/-trait, Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) scores. Endoscopic findings were evaluated based on Kyoto classification. Results: Body Mass Index (BMI) in FD patients with low levels of acylated ghrelin was significantly higher (p<0.001 and p = 0.008, respectively) compared to those in FD patients with high and normal levels of acylated ghrelin. SRQ-D scores in FD patients with low levels of acylated ghrelin was significantly lower (p = 0.008 and p<0.001, respectively) compared to those in FD patients with high and normal levels of acylated ghrelin. Scoring of gastric atrophy, intestinal metaplasia, xanthoma and mucus based on Kyoto classification in FD patients with low levels of acylated ghrelin were significantly higher (p<0.001, p = 0.0077, p = 0.036 and p = 0.0063, respectively) compared to those in FD patients with more than low levels of acylated ghrelin. Conclusion: Acylated ghrelin levels were associated with BMI, depressive status, and endoscopic findings based on Kyoto classification in FD patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS We aimed to clarify whether cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and microsomal prostaglandin E synthase-1 (mPGES-1) genotypes were associated with certain histological findings and endoscopical appearances based on Kyoto classification. METHODS We enrolled 285 Helicobacter pylori-infected gastritis patients. Genotypes of COX-2 1195, COX-2 1290, mPGES-1, interleukin-1β (IL-1β) 511 and tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) 308 were analyzed. Genotyping was performed by polymerase chain reaction. Endoscopic appearances and histological assessment were determined by using Kyoto classification, operative link on gastritic intestinal metaplasia assessment and the updated Sydney system. RESULTS There was a significant (p = 0.027) relationship between the IL-1β 511 C-carrier and histological gastric inflammation in H. pylori-infected gastritis patients. There was a significant (p = 0.009) correlation between the COX-2 1195 G-carrier genotype and histological intestinal metaplasia in the gastric antrum of H. pylori-infected gastritis patients and gastric xanthoma (p = 0.027). The COX-2 1195 G-carrier genotype was also significantly (p = 0.038) associated with the score of endoscopic intestinal metaplasia based on Kyoto classification. The mPGES-1 genotype was significantly (p = 0.002) associated with endoscopic swelling of area. CONCLUSION Our results suggest that in Japan, there exists a significant correlation between the COX-2 1195 G-carrier genotype and intestinal metaplasia in histological and endoscopic findings based on Kyoto classification in H. pylori-infected gastric mucosa.

Abstract
AIM To investigate the clinicopathological features of the patients testing negative for high titer serum anti-Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) antibody.
METHODS The antibody titers were measured using antigens derived from Japanese individuals. 13C-urea breath test-positive individuals were defined as having H. pylori infection. We investigated the demographic characteristics, laboratory data, endoscopic findings including Kyoto classification of gastritis, and histology in negative-high titer patients without H. pylori eradication therapy. Kyoto classification consisted of scores for gastric atrophy, intestinal metaplasia, enlarged folds, nodularity, and redness.
RESULTS Of the 136 subjects enrolled, 23 (17%) had H. pylori infection. Kyoto classification had an excellent area under the receiver operating characteristics curve (0.886, 95% confidence interval: 0.803-0.968, P = 3.7 × 10-20) for predicting H. pylori infection with a cut-off value of 2. Further, Kyoto classification, H. pylori density, and neutrophil activity had high accuracies (89.7%, 96.3%, and 94.1%, respectively). Kyoto classification was independent of the demographic and laboratory parameters in multivariate analysis.
CONCLUSION Endoscopic Kyoto classification of gastritis is a useful predictor of H. pylori infection in negative-high titer antibody patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Histological gastritis is associated with gastric cancer, but its diagnosis requires biopsy. Many classifications of endoscopic gastritis are available, but not all are useful for risk stratification of gastric cancer. The Kyoto Classification of Gastritis was proposed at the 85th Congress of the Japan Gastroenterological Endoscopy Society. This cross-sectional study evaluated the usefulness of the Kyoto Classification of Gastritis for risk stratification of gastric cancer. METHODS From August 2013 to September 2014, esophagogastroduodenoscopy was performed and the gastric findings evaluated according to the Kyoto Classification of Gastritis in a total of 4062 patients. The following five endoscopic findings were selected based on previous reports: atrophy, intestinal metaplasia, enlarged folds, nodularity, and diffuse redness. RESULTS A total of 3392 patients (1746 [51%] men and 1646 [49%] women) were analyzed. Among them, 107 gastric cancers were diagnosed. Atrophy was found in 2585 (78%) and intestinal metaplasia in 924 (27%). Enlarged folds, nodularity, and diffuse redness were found in 197 (5.8%), 22 (0.6%), and 573 (17%), respectively. In univariate analyses, the severity of atrophy, intestinal metaplasia, diffuse redness, age, and male sex were associated with gastric cancer. In a multivariate analysis, atrophy and male sex were found to be independent risk factors. Younger age and severe atrophy were determined to be associated with diffuse-type gastric cancer. CONCLUSION Endoscopic detection of atrophy was associated with the risk of gastric cancer. Thus, patients with severe atrophy should be examined carefully and may require intensive follow-up.
