Objective To analyze the accuracy of staging among the combination of endoscopic biopsy sites,operative link for gastritis assessment (OLGA) and operative link for gastric intestinal metaplasia assessment (OLGIM) with five different biopsy sites.Methods From January 2014 to September 2015,patients with functional dyspepsia and undergoing gastroendoscopy examination were enrolled.According to update Sydney system,a total of five biopsy pieces were obtained from lesser curvature of gastric body,larger curvature of gastric body,gastric angle,larger curvature of antrum and lesser curvature of antrum.The degrees of atrophy and intestinal metaplasia were determined and staged according to OLGA and OLGIM.Kappa test and chi-square test were performed for the statistical analysis.Results A total of 268 patients were enrolled.The incidences of atrophy and intestinal metaplasia in different sites were as follow:30.4% (113/372) and 31.0% (111/358) in lesser curvature of antrum;26.1%(97/372) and 25.1%(90/358) in gastric angle;20.2%(75/372) and 15.4%(56/358) in larger curvature of antrum;14.8%(55/372) and 15.4%(55/358) in lesser curvature of gastric body;8.6%(32/372) and 8.1%(29/358) in larger curvature of gastric body.The incidences of atrophy and intestinal metaplasia of lesser curvature of antrum were significantly higher than those of larger curvature of gastric body,lesser curvature of gastric body and larger curvature of antrum (x2 =45.248,48.029,20.024,18.892,7.681 and 7.848;all P<<0.05).The incidences of atrophy and intestinal metaplasia of gastric angle were significantly higher than those of lesser curvature and larger curvature of gastric body(x2 =32.752,31.269,11.605 and 8.448;all P<0.05).The incidences of atrophy and intestinal metaplasia of the lesser curvature of gastric body and larger curvature of antrum were higher than those of larger curvature of gastric body,and the differences were statistically significant (x2 =6.080,8.048,17.280,18.980,all P<0.05).The incidences of mild atrophy and intestinal metaplasia of the lesser curvature of antrum were 20.2 % (75/ 372) and 21.2% (76/358),respectively,which were higher than those of larger curvature of antrum (12.9%,48/372 and 12.8%,46/358),and the differences were statistically significant (x2 =5.927 and 7.377,both P<0.05).The incidence of severe atrophy of lesser curvature of antrum was 2.4% (9/372),respectively,which was higher than that of larger curvature of antrum (0.8%,3/372),and the difference was statistically significant (x2 =3.000,P =0.015).The incidences of mild atrophy and intestinal metaplasia of the lesser curvature of gastric body were 10.5% (39/372) and 11.2% (40/358),respectively,which were higher than those of larger curvature of gastric body (5.4 %,20/372 and 5.9 %,21/358),and the differences were statistically significant (x2 =6.119 and 5.918,both P<0.05).The consistency of staging by three biopsy sites (lesser curvature of gastric body,gastric angle and lesser curvature of antrum) and five biopsy sites with OLGA and OLGIM was 94.0 % (95 % confidence interval (CI) =91.2% to 96.9%,Kappa value=0.912,P<0.01) and 92.9% (95%CI:89.8% to 96.0%,Kappa value=0.893,P<0.01).Conclusion Three biopsy sites (lesser curvature of gastric body,gastric angle and lesser curvature of antrum) could accurately reflect gastric mucosa lesions with less biopsy tissues and it is worthy of clinical popularization and application.
