Sa2014 USEFULNESS OF NEAR-FOCUS MAGNIFICATION WITH NARROW-BAND IMAGING IN THE PREDICTION OF HELICOBACTER PYLORI INFECTION: A PROSPECTIVE TRIAL

It has been shown that conventional white light (WL) endoscopic findings often labeled as Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori)-associated gastritis have a poor correlation with confirmative diagnostic tools such as rapid urease test or urea breath test. Although magnifying endoscopy with narrow-band imaging (NBI) is an effective method to predict H. pylori-infected stomach, it is often time consuming and requiring considerable experience and training. Therefore, we investigated the performance of near focus (NF)-NBI, a novel simplified and modest magnifying endoscopy, for predicting H.
