Brief Summary

The operative link on gastric intestinal metaplasia assessment (OLGIM) staging systems using biopsy specimens were commonly used for histological assessment of gastric cancer risk. But its clinical application is limited for at least biopsy samples. The endoscopic grading system (EGGIM) has been shown a significant correlation with the OLGIM. The investigators designed a computer-aided diagnosis program using deep neural network to automatically evaluate the extent of IM and calculate the EGGIM scores in endoscopy examination. This study is aimed at exploring the relevance of the EGGIM scores automatically evaluated by Artificial Intelligence and OLGIM scores.

Detailed Description

Gastric intestinal metaplasia(GIM) is an important stage in the gastric cancer(GC). The operative link on gastric intestinal metaplasia assessment (OLGIM) staging systems using biopsy specimens were commonly used for histological assessment of gastric cancer risk. However, its need to take at least 4 biopsies is not clinically feasible. The endoscopic grading system (EGGIM) has been shown a significant correlation with the OLGIM. An EGGIM score of 5 was the best cut off value for identifying OLGIM stage III/IV patients. The investigators have designed a computer-aided diagnosis program using deep neural network to automatically evaluate the extent of IM and calculate the EGGIM scores in endoscopy examination. This study is aimed at exploring the relevance of the EGGIM scores automatically evaluated by Artificial Intelligence and OLGIM scores.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Accuracy of AI model to diagnose extensive intestinal metaplasia (OLGIM stage III/IV) by calculating the EGGIM score2 years

A scale for endoscopic grading of gastric intestinal metaplasia (EGGIM) varies from 0 (normal endoscopy with no areas suggestive of intestinal metaplasia) to 10 (diffuse metaplasia in all gastric areas). Five different areas were considered (two areas in the antrum, two in the corpus, and one in the incisura). Each area was scored 0 (no intestinal metaplasia), 1 (focal intestinal metaplasia, ≤30 % of the area), or 2 points (extensive intestinal metaplasia in that area, \> 30 % of the area), giving a possible total of 10 points. The higher the score, the more severe the degree of intestinal metaplasia, and the higher the risk of gastric cancer in patients.
