EGD: esophagogastroduodenoscopy; IEE: image-enhanced endoscopy; ME: magnifying endoscopy; R: routine; S: selective; A: available; GC: gastric cancer; EGC: early gastric cancer. Names of participating hospitals have been coded to avoid discrimination. Annual EGD (esophagogastroduodenoscopy) volumes of hospitals were classified as 1 (10.000–<30.000), 2 (30.000–60.000), and 3 (>60.000–100.000) procedures.
