Severe dipstick proteinuria predicts a 42% higher risk of gastric cancer in Koreans with HR 1.42 (95% CI, 1.00–2.02).
Overall, 1934 participants (0.88%) developed gastric cancer during a mean follow-up of 4.37 years, with a significant dose–response relationship observed.
Data analysis from 220,941 adults used multivariable Cox proportional hazards models to assess cancer risk associated with proteinuria severity.
The findings highlight the potential for urine dipstick testing to enhance risk stratification for gastric cancer, especially in high-incidence populations.
