Abstract
OBJECTIVES: Existing endoscopic scores for ulcerative colitis (UC) objectively categorize disease severity based on the presence or absence of endoscopic findings; therefore, it may not reflect the range of clinical severity within each category. However, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) expert endoscopists categorize the severity and diagnose the overall impression of the degree of inflammation. This study aimed to develop an artificial intelligence (AI) system that can accurately represent the assessment of the endoscopic severity of UC by IBD expert endoscopists.
