Chronic gastritis is a common disease. Clinicians have always attached importance to understanding its etiology, clinical manifestations, standardizing its diagnosis and treatment, and preventing cancer. Based on the consensus opinions on the diagnosis and treatment of chronic gastritis in the past three editions, and referring to the international consensuses and guidelines on the management of precancerous lesions of gastric mucosa, it is of clinical value and feasibility to formulate the guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of chronic gastritis in line with China's national conditions. This guideline was initiated by the Chinese Society of Gastroenterology, with major members of the Cancer Collaboration Group of Chinese Society of Gastroenterology serving as the convenors and authors. Based on the internationally accepted principles and methods of guideline development, and the extensive collection of opinions from gastroenterologists and physicians, 53 evidence-based recommendations are given for 9 major clinical problems related to chronic gastritis, aiming to improve the diagnosis, treatment and management of chronic gastritis.
