Comparative diagnostic performance of rapid urease test with the sweeping method versus tissue sampling method after Helicobacter pylori eradication (with video)

The rapid urease test (RUT) is widely used to detect Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection; however, it is not preferred as a monitoring strategy following eradication owing to its low sensitivity. In this study, we evaluated the diagnostic performance of RUT using the sweeping method, which overcomes the limitations of conventional tissue sampling methods following eradication.
