Diagnosis of <b><i>Helicobacter pylori</i></b> Infection by the Arrangement of Collecting Venules Using White Light Endoscopy: Evaluation of Interobserver Agreement

Abstract: <b><i>Background:</i></b> Regular arrangement of collecting venules (RAC) in gastric mucosa accurately identifies patients without <i>Helicobacter pylori</i> (<i>H pylori</i>) infection. The aim of our study was to evaluate the reproducibility of RAC using white light endoscopy without magnification, in a European country, and to assess the impact of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). <b><i>Methods:</i></b> A multicenter prospective study with… Show more

“…The regular arrangement of collecting venules could be observed in the lower part of the stomach body and gastric angle under white-light endoscopy (▶ Fig. 1 a), consistent with an H. pylori-uninfected mucosal background [1,2]. On the anterior wall of the upper gastric body, a 15-mm slightly elevated (0-IIa) and whitish lesion (lesion A) was identified.…”

“…Besides the detection of H. pylori, pathological examination of the gastric mucosa also provides information on the degree and pattern of inflammation and the presence/absence of preneoplastic lesions. Additional biopsies are considered from the antrum and the body for culture-based AST of H. pylori in those patients with high epidemiologic risk factors for H. pylori infection and negative RAC pattern (57,58).…”

“…Further research is required to confirm these findings. RAC provides high kappa values of intra-observer and inter-observer agreements of 0.88-0.91 and 0.74-0.79, respectively[ 21 , 68 ]; however, agreement between the other endoscopic findings needs to be clarified.…”
