Rebamipide Improves Chronic Inflammation in the Lesser Curvature of the Corpus after Helicobacter pylori Eradication: A Multicenter Study

Table 2

Comparison of histological gastritis before and after H. pylori eradication in the rebamipide group.

	Inflammation	2.29 ± 0.10 (48)	1.12 ± 0.08 (49)	<0.0001
	Atrophy	1.17 ± 0.09 (48)	0.71 ± 0.10 (49)	0.0005
	Intestinal metaplasia	0.85 ± 0.17 (48)	0.84 ± 0.16 (49)	0.6950

Data are presented as mean ± standard error (). GC: greater curvature and LC: lesser curvature.
