The indices of endoscopic characteristics were analyzed. Patients were stratified according to the interval between endoscopic examinations (\u22641, 1\u20132, 2\u20133, and &gt;3 years), and the proportion of adenoma, early gastric cancer (EGC) and advanced gastric cancer (AGC) was analyzed across groups.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      A total of 331 lesions with histological diagnoses of gastric neoplasms (167 adenomas, 138 EGCs, and 26 AGCs) were included. The initial baseline endoscopic findings were as follows: normal, 22 (6.7%); gastritis, 16 (4.8%); erosion, 65 (19.6%); ulcers, 19 (5.8%); atrophy, 104 (31.4%); and intestinal metaplasia, 105 (31.7%). The proportion of AGC increased with longer surveillance intervals: 0% at \u22641 year (median: 0.76 years, interquartile range [IQR]: 0.38), 3.1% at 1\u20132 years (1.59; 0.57), 6.7% at 2\u20133 years (2.37; 0.51), and 20.0% at &gt;3 years (4.18; 1.53). Conversely, adenoma were most frequently detected within 1 year, comprising 63.6% (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt; 0.05).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Cautious follow-up endoscopy may be necessary for patients demonstrating endoscopic findings of atrophy and intestinal metaplasia.
