The endoscopic findings in the gastric body will be classified as the Anagnostopoulos GK et al. classification into four types: type 1, honeycomb−type subepithelial capillary network (SECN) with regular arrangement of collecting venules and regular, round pits; type 2, honeycomb−type SECN with regular, round pits, but loss of collecting venules; type 3, loss of normal SECN and collecting venules, with enlarged white pits surrounded by erythema; and type 4, loss of normal SECN and round pits, with irregular arrangement of collecting venules. Type 1 pattern for predicting normal gastric, types 2 and 3 patterns for predicting a Helicobacter pylori infection and type 4 patterns for predicting gastric atrophy.
