Comparison of serum pepsinogen (sPG) levels and histologic features with respect to Helicobacter pylori (HP) status. HP-positive patients had higher sPGI (A) and sPGII levels (B) and a lower sPGI/II ratio (C) (all p<0.001). OLGA/OLGIM stage, an indicator of atrophic gastritis and intestinal metaplasia, was higher in HP-positive patients (D). Data are presented as the number (%) or median±standard error.
