Brief Summary: To perform a prospective observational international multicentre in vivo study to assess the performance of regular arrangement of collecting venules RAC for the exclusion of Helicobacter pylori Hp infection using white light high definition HD endoscopy without any kind of zoom or magnification

Gold standard will be mucosal biopsies Sydney protocol or urease test Immunohistochemistry IHC should be performed in case of a negative histologic study for Hp in patients taking proton pump inhibitors PPIs

Participants will perform a training test with 20 pictures of the distal part of the lesser curvature before starting the inclusion of cases

Secondary objectives are

To assess whether age sex and PPIs have an influence on the results of RAC
To assess the correlation of atrophic gastritis and intestinal metaplasia confirmed in histopathological samples and RAC
To assess reproducibility of RAC on real time examinations with different operators and in different countries with different Hp infection prevalence

Primary and secondary variables

The primary study variable is

- Endoscopic detection of RAC

Secondary variables will be considered

Sex
Age
PPI intake in the last two weeks
Centre
Country
Hp prevalence
Endoscopist
Type of endoscope
Significant findings need of histological confirmation

Atrophic gastritis
Intestinal metaplasia
Erosive gastritis
Benign gastric ulcer
Gastric adenoma
Gastric cancer
Detailed Description: This is a prospective multicentre international study without a control group

Training phase Before starting the inclusion of patients 20 HD images previously collected by the principal investigator will be sent to each of the study investigators Pictures will clearly show the RAC pattern present or absent at the level of the distal gastric lesser curvature In case of doubtful RAC the pattern shall be considered negative Investigators will be able to discuss their questions and doubts after the training phase videoconference

Endoscopic examination Upper endoscopy will be performed with HD endoscopes and a high-definition screen Two endoscopists will participate in each hospital The examination will be performed according to the protocol of each centre Visualisation of the entire oesophageal gastric and duodenal surface will be performed as in routine clinical practice The presence of RAC will be assessed during the gastric exploration with sufficient insufflation and its detection will be considered as the presence of a regular starfish-shaped erythematous punctation in the lower part of the lesser curvature of the gastric body close to the incisura angularis

In case of the presence of residues in the gastric cavity that prevent the correct visualisation of the area water washings shall be performed for the correct characterisation of the mucosa At least one photo of the described gastric region shall be taken with the image processor system to maintain its high-definition quality All the data name date of birth clinical record number date of exploration will be removed from the picture to ensure the anonymisation Subsequently the photographs will be downloaded and saved in a folder on a network drive of each hospital

After characterisation of the gastric mucosa the Hp infection status will be assessed by taking biopsies with a standard forceps for anatomopathological study according to Sydneys protocol 2 in the antrum 1 in the incisura and 2 in the body Ideally biopsies for a urease test will also be obtained

Histopathological examination Samples shall be fixed in formalin and analysed by the Anatomical Pathology service for histological examination by haematoxylin and eosin HE and special staining for Hp eg modified Giemsa In patients taking PPI if Hp is negative in the HE histological study the study will be completed by immunohistochemical IHC staining
