Los Angeles Classification of Reflux Esophagitis
Accurate endoscopic assessment of reflux esophagitis is vital in making accurate decisions on patients' management and prognosis
LA classification is the most validated, reproducible, accurate in this setting
GRADE A: One or more mucosal break <5mm that does not extend between the tops of two mucosal folds
GRADE B: One or more mucosal break >5mm that does not extend between the tops of two mucosal folds
GRADE C: One or more mucosal break that is continuous between the tops of two or more mucosal folds but that involves <75% of the circumference
GRADE D: One or more mucosal break that involves >75% of the esophageal circumference
