About this study

Official title: Correlation Among Various OLGA and OLGIM Stages, Digestive Symptom Scores, and Acupuncture Treatment in Patients with Chronic Atrophic Gastritis:a Multicenter Cross-sectional Pilot Survey

Brief Summary Template for the Study:

The goal of this observational study is to examine the relationship between digestive symptom scores, serum pepsinogen indices, and histopathological OLGA and OLGIM systematic staging of the gastric mucosa in patients with chronic atrophic gastritis(CAG), aiming to determine the degree of correlation between clinical manifestations, non-invasive laboratory tests, and the gold standard of diagnostic histopathology.To evaluate the comprehensive therapy, readiness and acceptance of acupuncture, utilization rates of various acupuncture therapies, self-assessed efficacy of acupuncture, and endoscopic histopathological alterations in patients with CAG.According to the aforementioned study, it is anticipated to enhance the optimization of acupuncture clinical research protocols for chronic atrophic gastritis, improve treatment efficacy, and offer more effective and rational therapy alternatives for patients.The main question it aims to answer is:

To determine if the outcomes of combined serologic testing of symptoms in patients with CAG can serve as a method for monitoring disease development and if long-term follow-up can be supported?

A group of participants with recorded GI symptom scores and blood pepsinogen levels will respond to online survey questions regarding the severity of their chronic atrophic gastritis progression over the course of 1 year.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Correlation between gastrointestinal symptom scores combined with serum pepsinogen indexes and histopathologic OLGA and OLGIM systematic staging of gastric mucosa in patients with CAG

    The investigators gathered clinical data on the overall condition, occupation, personal history, family history, H. pylori infection, gastrointestinal symptom scores, serum pepsinogen index, gastroscopy reports, pathological findings, and other biological characteristics of CAG patients, along with data pertaining to acupuncture treatment. The investigators then analyzed the correlation between the gastrointestinal symptom scores, the serum pepsinogen index, and the gastric mucosal histopathology OLGA and OLGIM. The investigators examined the relationship between gastrointestinal symptom scores, serum pepsinogen levels, and the histopathological OLGA and OLGIM stages of gastric mucosa to determine the correlation between clinical manifestations, non-invasive laboratory tests, and the definitive diagnostic standard of histopathology, thereby offering support for clinicians.

    Measured: Gastroscopy and pathology reports within one year, serology and symptom assessment within one week of participant enrollment

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Correlation coefficients of relevant exposure factors (including acupuncture treatment status) with OLGA, OLGIM pathologic stage and GI symptom score, respectively

    With the goal of further optimizing the clinical research protocols of acupuncture for CAG, improving the therapeutic effects, and offering a more effective and affordable treatment option for patients with chronic atrophic gastritis, the investigators examined the overall treatment of CAG patients, willingness and acceptance of acupuncture treatment, application rate of various acupuncture therapies, self-perceived acupuncture efficacy, and endoscopic histopathological changes.

    Measured: Patient's treatment to date after diagnosis of chronic atrophic gastritis, and whether participant has received acupuncture in the last 3 months

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Yi Liang, Doctor (+86 571 86633328, liangyiwww@126.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Correlation between gastrointestinal symptom scores combined with serum pepsinogen indexes and histopathologic OLGA and OLGIM systematic staging of gastric mucosa in patients with CAG (time frame: Gastroscopy and pathology reports within one year, serology and symptom assessment within one week of participant enrollment). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
