  4. Introduction Research question Aims Participants and Methods Expected results References Introduction Premalignant lesions of gastric cancer: High mortality and morbidity Absence of consensus in terms of diagnosis and treatment Lack of guidelines Yamaoka Y, Kato M, Asaka M. Geographic differences in gastric cancer incidence can be explained by differences between Helicobacter pylori strains. Internal Medicine. 2008; 47: 1077-1083.

  5. Introduction Research question Aims Participants and Methods Expected results References Research question Which are the main options for diagnosis and treatment of premalignant lesions of gastric cancer that are being taken at an European level?

  6. Aims • Identify options in terms of diagnosis of the premalignant lesions of gastric cancer that are being taken at an European level • Identify options in terms of treatment of the premalignant lesions of gastric cancer that are being taken at an European level • Compile these management options in a database Introduction Research question Aims Participants and Methods Expected results References

  7. Introduction Research question Aims Participants and Methods Expected results References Study Design • Type of study: observational and cross-sectional • Participants’ selection • Data collection • Statistical analysis of data • Discussion about expected results

  8. Study Participants • Targetpopulation: • - allEuropeanGastroenterology centres • Sample: • - Selectionofthe centres includedbytwoways: • 1st: listoftheGastroenterologysocietiesofdifferentcountriesfrom ESG site; • 2nd: centres involvedinthepublicationofpapersonthissubject • non-randomizedsample Introduction Research question Aims Participants and Methods Expected results References

  9. Data Collection Methods Introduction Questionnaire Research question Aims Open ended questions Closed ended questions Participants and Methods Sent by e-mail Expected results Backup plan: phone interview References Online Database

  10. Variables Description / Planned Statistical Analysis • Dependent variables: • Management options taken • Follow-up of patients • Independent variables: • Type of lesions • Centre • Geographical location • etc • hypothesis test Introduction Research question Aims Participants and Methods Expected results References

  11. Introduction Research question Aims Participants and Methods Expected results References Expected Results Phases: 1. Contacts’ database considerable number of centres’ contacts 2. Questionnaire’ s answers low response rate 3. Management options’ database the most frequently used options Creation of guidelines European Practice Protocol

  12. Expected Results • Problems and limitations: • low response rate from the countries’ societies; • refusal from some centres to take part in our study; • refusal from some centres to answer some questions; • selection bias – societies may give us only the contacts of the centres with positive results in the management of those lesions or from those that are in the forefront of the techniques used in their diagnosis and treatment; • possibility of obtaining data referring to only one country, or data from very few countries to take conclusions at an European level.
