Assessment of the Role of Incisura Biopsy in the Staging of Chronic Gastritis
This prospective multicenter study investigates the added benefit of incisura biopsy to correct identification of patients with high-risk chronic gastritis (OLGA stages III-IV). It compares a biopsy protocol with and without a single incisura biopsy in a non-inferiority design. Anonymized photo and videodocumentation according to institution practices will constitute a databank for lesion recognition, quality improvement, and potential AI development.
