Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Percentage of early gastric cancer (detected EGC ratio) in all gastric cancers (early gastric cancer [EGC] + advanced gastric cancer [AGC]) found using endoscopy Detected EGC ratio = Number of detected EGC/Number of detected total GC (EGC + advanced cancer) | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1) EGC detection rate in the total number of endoscopy per endoscopist EGC detection rate = Number of detected EGC/Number of endoscopic procedures 2) Clinicopathological characteristics of early gastric cancer detected 3) Learning curve showing the acquisition of the systematic observation method by the endoscopist 4) Correlation between the parameters indicating the quality of the examination (achievement rate of the systematic observation method, degree of removal of mucus and bubbles, and degree of extension of the gastric wall) and the EGC detection ratio will be determined. 5) When hands-on guidance for endoscopic technique is initiated on-site, the proficiency of individual endoscopic techniques will be evaluated using the assessment sheet. | — |
