Objective To explore the significances of the endoscopic diagnosis for chronic atrophic and histological assessment gastritis (CAG). Method Five hundred patients with CAG were determined by gastroscopy and the samples of gastric mucosa were examined by the pathology. Results Among 500 cases of CAG by gastroscopy, 429 cases were similar with the pathologic results and the coincidence rate of diagnosis with endoscopy and pathology was 85.8%(429/500), 370 cases had a change of atrophic gastritis in cirumjacent mucosa. Conclusion The coincidence rate of diagnosis under endoscopy and pathology is quite good in CAG.
