Typical endoscopic appearance accurately predicts sporadic fundic gland polyps： a retrospective study of 47 771 endoscopies

Sporadic fundic gland polyps （FGPs） account for 0.8%- 1.9% of all gastric polyps and are observed in patients undergoing esophagogastroduodenoscopy （EGD） in whom they account for more than 50% of all gastric polyps. The prevalence is increasing in recent years possibly due to decreased Helicobacter pylori （1t. pylori） infection rate and long-term proton pump inhibitor use. Generally, sporadic FGPs are assumed to be benign polyps with no risk of malignant transformation. We evaluated the feasibility of predicting sporadic FGPs based on typical endoscopic appearance in a large database of 47 771 endoscopies.
