Incomplete Intestinal Metaplasia is Rare in Autoimmune Gastritis

Conclusion: Incomplete-IM is significantly more prevalent in conditions (H. pylori gastritis) known to carry a higher risk of GC, and is strongly associated with its extension. The low prevalence of incomplete IM in AIG (8.3%), and reactive gastropathy (5.2%) is in keeping with the low G C risk associated with these conditions.
