Comparing with the degree of atrophy detected by pepsinogen test method and by the Updated Sydney System Scores in the angle of the stomach with Helicobacter pylori‐negative status

Atrophy detected by the pepsinogen method	Atrophy detected by Updated Sydney System Scores
Atrophy detected by the pepsinogen method	No atrophy ^¶	Mild and moderate atrophy ^††	Severe atrophy ^‡‡
No atrophy ^†	34	1	4
Mild and moderate atrophy ^‡	153	10	14
Severe atrophy ^§	3	3	8

^{^†}

No atrophy, pepsinogen (PG) I > 70 & PG I/II > 3.0;

^{^‡}

^‡ Mild and moderate atrophy: exclude no atrophy and severe atrophy cases;

^{^§}

Severe atrophy, PG I ≤ 30 & PG I/II < = 2.0;

^{^¶}

No atrophic changes (atrophy and intestinal metaplasia [IM] scores were – or ±);

^{^††}

^†† Mild or moderate atrophic changes (exception for 4 and 6);

^{^‡‡}

Severe atrophic changes (atrophy score +++ or IM ++, +++).
