Prolonged changes in gastritis scores based on the Kyoto Classification of Gastritis between the Cancer group and the Noncancer group. (A) Mean total score of gastric cancer risk. (B) Mean atrophy score. (C) Mean intestinal metaplasia score. (D) Mean diffuse redness score. (E) Incidence rate of map-like redness The Cancer group had significantly higher total risk scores, and scores for atrophy and intestinal metaplasia at all time points than the Noncancer group. Regarding map-like redness, the frequency increased with time from the first EGD to 15 years subsequently in both the Cancer group and the Noncancer group. The Cancer group had a higher frequency of map-like redness at all time points than the Noncancer group. *: p < 0.05 versus Noncancer group.
