Table 2 Comparison of endoscopic distribution of atrophic gastritis in GX patients and controls

	Predominant distribution
	Antrum	Corpus	Pangastritis
GX patients (24/54, 44.4%)b
Mild (n = 10)	2	1	7
Moderate (n = 8)	3	0	5
Severe (n = 6)	2	0	4
Control (8/54, 14.8%)
Mild (n = 6)	3	1	2
Moderate (n = 1)	1	0	0
Severe (n = 1)	1	0	0

The distribution and severity of atrophic change in GX patients significantly differed from that in controls (^bP = 0.0082).
