EAG = endoscopic atrophic gastritis, SD = standard deviation.
aVariability of diagnostic yield was calculated by F-test. Ratio of variance showed the diagnostic variability in each endoscopist at the post-intervention compared with pre-intervention; bExperienced group was defined by their endoscopic experience over 10 years; cLess-experienced group was defined by their endoscopic experience less than 10 years.
