Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults 40–75 years old who are undergoing image-enhanced endoscopy (IEE) and can give informed consent, without prior gastric surgery and without severe organ dysfunction, are the ideal candidates.
✕Probably not a fit
People outside the 40–75 age range, unable to undergo gastroscopy or IEE, with prior stomach surgery, or with severe cardiac, cerebral, pulmonary, renal, or psychiatric disorders are unlikely to benefit.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This is a prospective, multicenter validation of an artificial intelligence system that automatically reads endoscopic images and generates EGGIM scores for gastric intestinal metaplasia. Adults aged 40–75 undergoing image-enhanced endoscopy at three hospitals in Jinan will be enrolled after informed consent. The AI-generated scores will be compared with endoscopists' readings and, where available, histology to measure accuracy, consistency, and reliability. The protocol expands on preliminary pilot data from a prior investigation (NCT05464108).
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the AI could make EGGIM scoring faster and more consistent, helping clinicians detect precancerous gastric changes earlier.
How similar studies have gone: Previous pilot work (NCT05464108) and other AI applications in endoscopy have shown promise, but this larger multicenter validation is needed to confirm performance.
