Inter- and Intraobserver Variability in Bowel Preparation Scoring for Colon Capsule Endoscopy: Impact of AI-Assisted Assessment Feasibility Study.

ABSTRACT: Background: Colon capsule endoscopy (CCE) has seen increased adoption since the COVID-19 pandemic, offering a non-invasive alternative for lower gastrointestinal investigations. However, inadequate bowel preparation remains a key limitation, often leading to higher conversion rates to colonoscopy. Manual assessment of bowel cleanliness is inherently subjective and marked by high interobserver variability. Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) have enabled automated cleansing scores that not only standardise assessment and reduce variability but also align with the emerging semi-automated AI reading workflow, which highlights only clinically significant frames. As full video review becomes less routine, reliable, and consistent, cleansing evaluation is essential, positionin
