Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are practicing endoscopists with at least 50 IEE procedures per year who are competent in standardized IEE.
✕Probably not a fit
Endoscopists with low procedural volume or limited exposure to IEE may not see benefit.

What this trial studies
In this prospective randomized crossover trial, endoscopists view image-enhanced endoscopy videos of five stomach regions and score gastric intestinal metaplasia using the EGGIM system. Participants are stratified by experience and receive AI-assisted scoring in one phase and conventional scoring in a subsequent phase after a washout period. The study compares diagnostic performance metrics such as AUC, sensitivity, and specificity between AI-assisted and conventional scoring across phases to gauge training efficacy. It is conducted at Qilu Hospital of Shandong University in Jinan.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, AI-assisted training could improve accuracy and consistency in EGGIM scoring among endoscopists.
How similar studies have gone: Previous studies have explored AI-assisted scoring in endoscopy, with mixed success, making this evaluation of training impact important.
