Circulating levels of pepsinogens have been used in high gastric cancer- risk Asian and European populations to triage endoscopic evaluation for more severe pathology. There are different analytic methods with uncertain correlations. We therefore compared diagnostic performance of three commonly used pepsinogen as-says to detect histologically confirmed gastric atrophy
