Abstract:Objective To explore the high risk factors for endoscopic findings of early gastric cancer and improve the endoscopic detection rate.Methods Clinicopathological data of 247 lesions in 245 patients underwent fine gastroscopy from December 2016 to June 2018 were analyzed retrospectively. We recorded the endoscopic diagnosis, the size, color, shape, location, mucus of gastric lesion, and forms after indigo carmine staining and under NBI-ME. Risk factors for endoscopic manifestations associated of early gastric cancer were analyzed by Chi-square and were also analyzed by multivariate Logistic regression.Results Single factor analysis showed that atrophic gastritis, sinuses lesion, depressed lesion, size > 1 cm, reddish, demarcation line under white light endoscopy and indigo carmine staining, demarcation line, irregular microvascular and microsurface pattern under NBI-ME were risk factors for endoscopic manifestations of early gastric cancer. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that non-staining after indigo carmine staining (O = 4.474, 95%CI: 1.576 ~ 12.701, P = 0.005), demarcation line under NBI-ME (O = 7.608, 95%CI: 1.427~40.570, P = 0.017), irregular microvascular pattern (O = 8.051, 95%CI: 1.509 ~ 42.949, P = 0.015) were independent risk factor for endoscopic manifestations of early gastric cancer. The accuracy of irregular microvascular pattern under NBI-ME together with non-staining after indigo carmine staining for diagnosis of early gastric cancer is 78.3%. The sensitivity of NBI-ME for diagnosis early gastric cancer is 72.1%, specificity is 78.9%.Conclusion Non-staining after indigo carmine staining, demarcation line under NBI-ME, or irregular microvascular pattern could predict early gastric cancer, irregular microvascular pattern under NBI-ME combined with non-staining after indigo carmine staining has high diagnostic value for early gastric cancer.
