PURPOSE: To investigate the correlation between ABC risk assessment and radiological findings of gastric mucosa and to propose an improved method for @entity356 screening. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We evaluated 318 @entity1 with Helicobacter pylori (Hp) antibody titers, serum pepsinogen (PG) and upper GI radiography and then classified them into three groups: A, double-negative; B, Hp-positive, PG-negative; C, PG-positive. Group A was subclassified as: @entity1938 , Hp antibody titer <3.0 U/ml; @entity3750 , Hp antibody titer >= 3.0 U/ml. Results for group A and non-A (B or C) @entity1 and radiological findings of gastric mucosa (fold and area gastricae) were analyzed retrospectively. RESULTS: Radiological findings differed significantly between the 207 @entity1938 and 98 non-A group. Odds ratios were 17.72 for fold distribution, 10.63 for fold thickness, 6.10 for fold characteristics, and 10.62 for area gastricae. Presence of >= 2 risk factors offered 90.3  % sensitivity, 94.7  % specificity, and 93.3  % accuracy. Nine (69.2  %) of the 13 @entity3750 group @entity1 and 11 (5.3  %) @entity1938 group @entity1 had a risk for @entity356 according to radiological findings. CONCLUSION: A good correlation exists between ABC classifications and radiological findings for @entity356 risk, but some discrepant cases exist. We recommend both methods as screening for @entity356 .
