Endoscopy-based Kyoto classification score of gastritis related to pathological topography of neutrophil activity

Figure 1 Kyoto score according to the topographic distribution of neutrophil activity. Box-plots depicting the average Kyoto score. P value was calculated using the Steel–Dwass test.

Figure 2 Representative images of four categories of gastritis. A-C: Inactive stomach. A 49-year-old woman. Kyoto score: 3; Atrophy score: 1; Intestinal metaplasia score: 0; Enlarged folds score: 0; Nodularity score: 0; Diffuse redness score: 2; D-F: Antrum-predominant gastritis. A 37-year-old man. Kyoto score: 4; Atrophy score: 1; Intestinal metaplasia score: 0; Enlarged folds score: 1; Nodularity score: 0; Diffuse redness score: 2; G-I: Pangastritis. A 45-year-old man. Kyoto score: 5; Atrophy score: 1; Intestinal metaplasia score: 0; Enlarged folds score: 1; Nodularity score: 1; Diffuse redness score: 2; J-L: Corpus-predominant gastritis. A 51-year-old woman. Kyoto score: 6; Atrophy score: 2; Intestinal metaplasia score: 2; Enlarged folds score: 0; Nodularity score: 0; Diffuse redness score: 2. Greater curvature of the corpus (A, D, G and J); Lesser curvature of the corpus (B, E, H and K); Antrum (C, F, I and L).
