ABSTRACT

Objetivo. Evaluar la concordancia en el diagnóstico de lesiones precursoras del carcinoma gástrico de tipo intestinal entre observadores con diferente experiencia. Material y métodos. Se estudiaron 1 056 casos de biopsias gástricas: 341 de Colombia, 382 de México y 333 de Paraguay. En el diagnóstico de cada caso participaron patólogos sin experiencia en patología gastrointestinal (A), patólogos con experiencia en patología gastrointestinal (B) y expertos que trabajan en un centro de referencia internacional (C). Resultados. La concordancia (k) entre patólogos inexpertos y expertos fue pobre en el diagnóstico de gastritis atrófica (k=0.04 a 0.12) y displasia (k=0.11 a 0.05) y buena en el diagnóstico de metaplasia intestinal (k=0.52 a 0.58); la supervisión de un patólogo inexperto por un experto mejoró notablemente la concordancia en el diagnóstico de gastritis atrófica (k=0.65) y metaplasia intestinal (k=0.91) y, en un menor grado, de displasia (k=0.28). Al comparar la concordancia entre expertos antes y después de la reunión de consenso no hubo variación en el diagnóstico de gastritis atrófica (k=0.57); la concordancia varió de buena a excelente en el de metaplasia intestinal (k=0.67 a 0.81) y de pobre a buena en el de displasia (k=0.18 a 0.66). Conclusión. Los principales problemas se presentan en el diagnóstico de la gastritis crónica atrófica y la displasia. La concordancia interobservador depende de la experiencia del observador y la lectura de consenso.


Objective. The aim was to evaluate the concordance in the diagnosis of precursor lesions of intestinal-type gastric carcinoma among observers with different levels of experience. Material and Methods. Gastric biopsies from 1 056 cases were studied: 341 from Colombia, 382 from Mexico, and 333 from Paraguay. Pathologists without experience (A) and with experience (B) in gastrointestinal pathology, as well as experts working in an international reference center (C) participated in the diagnosis of each case. Results. The concordance (k) between pathologists with experience and those without was poor for the diagnosis of atrophic gastritis (k=0.04 to 0.12) and dysplasia (k=0.11 to 0.05), and good for the diagnosis of intestinal metaplasia (k=0.52 to 0.58). Supervision of pathologists without experience by those with experience remarkably improved the concordance in the diagnosis of atrophic gastritis (k=0.65) and intestinal metaplasia (k=0.91), and to a lesser degree, of dysplasia (k=0.28). The concordance among experts before and after the consensus meeting showed no variation in the diagnosis of atrophic gastritis (k=0.57); the concordance varied from good to excellent in the diagnosis of intestinal metaplasia (k=0.67 to 0.81) and from poor to good in that of dysplasia (k=0.18 to 0.66). Conclusion. The greatest differences arose in the diagnosis of chronic atrophic gastritis and dysplasia. The interobserver concordance depended on the experience of the observer and the consensus reading.
