BACKGROUND Gastric cancer significantly contributes to cancer mortality *** intestinal metaplasia(GIM)is a stage in the Correa cascade and a premalignant lesion of gastric *** natural history of GIM formation and progression over time is not fully ***,there are no clear guidelines on GIM surveillance or management in the United *** To investigate factors associated with GIM development over time in African American-predominant study *** This is a retrospective longitudinal study in a single tertiary hospital in Washington *** retrieved upper esophagogastroduodenoscopies(EGDs)with gastric biopsies from the pathology department database from January 2015 to December *** included in the study had undergone two or more EGDswith gastric *** with no GIM at baseline were followed up until they developed GIM or until the last available *** criteria consisted of patients age<18,pregnancy,previous diagnosis of gastric cancer,and missing data including pathology results or endoscopy *** study population was divided into two groups based on GIM *** and multivariate Cox regression was used to estimate the hazard induced by patient demographics,EGD findings,and Helicobacter pylori(***)status on the GIM *** Of 2375 patients who had at least 1 EGD with gastric biopsy,579 patients were included in the study.138 patients developed GIM during the study follow-up period of 1087 d on average,compared to 857 d in patients without GIM(P=0.247).The average age of GIM group was 64 years compared to 56 years in the non-GIM group(P<0.001).In the GIM group,adding one year to the age increases the risk for GIM formation by 4%(P<0.001).Over time,African Americans,Hispanic,and other ethnicities/races had an increased risk of GIM compared to Caucasians with a hazard ratio(HR)of 2.12(1.16,3.87),2.79(1.09,7.13),and 3.19(1.5,6.76)*** gender difference was obse
