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

Journal: United European gastroenterology journal
PMID: 39668544

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.
