Prospective Evaluation of Real-Time Artificial Intelligence for the Hill Classification of the Gastroesophageal Junction.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Assessment of the gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) is an integral part of gastroscopy; however, the absence of standardized reporting hinders consistency of examination documentation. The Hill classification offers a standardized approach for evaluating the GEJ. This study aims to compare the accuracy of an artificial intelligence (AI) system with that of physicians in classifying the GEJ according to Hill in a prospective, blinded, superiority trial.

Methods

Consecutive patients scheduled for gastroscopy with an intact GEJ were recruited during clinical routine from October 2023 to December 2023. Nine physicians (six experienced, three inexperienced) assessed the Hill grade, and the AI system operated in the background in real-time. The gold standard was determine
