The road to a world-unified approach to the management of patients with gastric intestinal metaplasia: a review of current guidelines

In this review, we aimed to synthesise these guidelines and provide clinicians with a global perspective of the current recommendations for managing patients with GIM, as well as highlight evidence gaps that need to be addressed with future research.
