Two recent classifications OLGA (Operative Link on Gastritis Assessment) and OLGIM (Operative Link on Gastritic Intestinal Metaplasia assessment) have been proposed to reveal the high progressive risk forms (stages III and IV).
Aim: To evaluate the OLGA and OLGIM staging systems in chronic autoimmune gastritis.
