Abstract
OBJECTIVE The timely identification of both malignant and nonmalignant pancreatic lesions has the potential to significantly enhance prognosis and implement risk management strategies across various levels. microRNAs (miRs) and their corresponding targets play a crucial role in the development of pancreatic lesions and can serve as valuable diagnostic and therapeutic targets. The objective of our study was to investigate potential diagnostic markers that can effectively differentiate between malignant and nonmalignant pancreatic lesions. METHODS Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database with GSE24279 dataset was utilized to screen differentially expressed miRNAs (DEMs). We utilized the TargetScanHuman database to predict the target genes associated with hsa-miR-150-3p, hsa-miR-150-5p, and hsa-miR-214-3p. Furthermore, a cohort comprising healthy individuals (n = 52), chronic pancreatitis (CP; n = 34), and pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PAAD; n = 53) patients was recruited to ascertain the levels of plasma markers. RESULTS We identified 3 miRNAs (hsa-miR-150-3p, hsa-miR-150-5p, and hsa-miR-214-3p) and 2 proteins (PCDH1 and AMN) as potential diagnostic markers for distinguishing between CP and PAAD. The area under the curve (AUC) values for all markers exceeded .800. Notably, a combination of plasma PCDH1 and AMN demonstrated excellent diagnostic performance (AUC = .921; 95% CI: .866-.977; sensitivity = .792; specificity = .941) in discriminating between CP and PAAD. In addition, the model of hsa-miR-150-3p, hsa-miR-150-5p, and hsa-miR-214-3p yielded an AUC of .928, sensitivity of .830, and specificity of .912, respectively. CONCLUSION Plasma levels of miRNAs (hsa-miR-150-3p, hsa-miR-150-5p, and hsa-miR-214-3p) and their corresponding targets (PCDH1 and AMN) hold promise as potential biomarkers for predicting PAAD in patients with CP.

Abstract
Using a systematic literature search of original articles published during 2023 in Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (GIE) and other high-impact medical and gastroenterology journals, the GIE Editorial Board of the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy compiled a list of the top 10 most significant topic areas in general and advanced GI endoscopy during the year. Each GIE Editorial Board member was directed to consider 3 criteria in generating candidate topics-significance, novelty, and impact on global clinical practice-and subject matter consensus was facilitated by the Chair through electronic voting and a meeting of the entire GIE Editorial Board. The 10 identified areas collectively represent advances in the following endoscopic spheres: GI bleeding, endohepatology, endoscopic palliation, artificial intelligence and polyp detection, artificial intelligence beyond the colon, better polypectomy and EMR, how to make endoscopy units greener, high-quality upper endoscopy, endoscopic tissue apposition and closure devices, and endoscopic submucosal dissection. Each board member was assigned a topic area around which to summarize relevant important articles, thereby generating this overview of the "top 10" endoscopic advances of 2023.

Pancreatic Cancer Surveillance and Survival of High-Risk Individuals. JAMA Oncol 2024; 10:1087-1096. [PMID: 38959011 PMCID: PMC11223057 DOI: 10.1001/jamaoncol.2024.1930] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/18/2023] [Accepted: 02/05/2024] [Indexed: 07/04/2024]
Abstract
Importance Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a deadly disease with increasing incidence. The majority of PDACs are incurable at presentation, but population-based screening is not recommended. Surveillance of high-risk individuals for PDAC may lead to early detection, but the survival benefit is unproven. Objective To compare the survival of patients with surveillance-detected PDAC with US national data. Design, Setting, and Participants This comparative cohort study was conducted in multiple US academic medical centers participating in the Cancer of the Pancreas Screening program, which screens high-risk individuals with a familial or genetic predisposition for PDAC. The comparison cohort comprised patients with PDAC matched for age, sex, and year of diagnosis from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) program. The Cancer of the Pancreas Screening program originated in 1998, and data collection was done through 2021. The data analysis was performed from April 29, 2022, through April 10, 2023. Exposures Endoscopic ultrasonography or magnetic resonance imaging performed annually and standard-of-care surgical and/or oncologic treatment. Main Outcomes and Measures Stage of PDAC at diagnosis, overall survival (OS), and PDAC mortality were compared using descriptive statistics and conditional logistic regression, Cox proportional hazards regression, and competing risk regression models. Sensitivity analyses and adjustment for lead-time bias were also conducted. Results A total of 26 high-risk individuals (mean [SD] age at diagnosis, 65.8 [9.5] years; 15 female [57.7%]) with PDAC were compared with 1504 SEER control patients with PDAC (mean [SD] age at diagnosis, 66.8 [7.9] years; 771 female [51.3%]). The median primary tumor diameter of the 26 high-risk individuals was smaller than in the control patients (2.5 [range, 0.6-5.0] vs 3.6 [range, 0.2-8.0] cm, respectively; P < .001). The high-risk individuals were more likely to be diagnosed with a lower stage (stage I, 10 [38.5%]; stage II, 8 [30.8%]) than matched control patients (stage I, 155 [10.3%]; stage II, 377 [25.1%]; P < .001). The PDAC mortality rate at 5 years was lower for high-risk individuals than control patients (43% vs 86%; hazard ratio, 3.58; 95% CI, 2.01-6.39; P < .001), and high-risk individuals lived longer than matched control patients (median OS, 61.7 [range, 1.9-147.3] vs 8.0 [range, 1.0-131.0] months; 5-year OS rate, 50% [95% CI, 32%-80%] vs 9% [95% CI, 7%-11%]). Conclusions and Relevance These findings suggest that surveillance of high-risk individuals may lead to detection of smaller, lower-stage PDACs and improved survival.

Abstract
Pancreatic cancer is a highly lethal disease with a poor prognosis. Its early diagnosis and accurate treatment mainly rely on medical imaging, so accurate medical image analysis is especially vital for pancreatic cancer patients. However, medical image analysis of pancreatic cancer is facing challenges due to ambiguous symptoms, high misdiagnosis rates, and significant financial costs. Artificial intelligence (AI) offers a promising solution by relieving medical personnel's workload, improving clinical decision-making, and reducing patient costs. This study focuses on AI applications such as segmentation, classification, object detection, and prognosis prediction across five types of medical imaging: CT, MRI, EUS, PET, and pathological images, as well as integrating these imaging modalities to boost diagnostic accuracy and treatment efficiency. In addition, this study discusses current hot topics and future directions aimed at overcoming the challenges in AI-enabled automated pancreatic cancer diagnosis algorithms.

Diagnosing Solid Lesions in the Pancreas With Multimodal Artificial Intelligence: A Randomized Crossover Trial. JAMA Netw Open 2024; 7:e2422454. [PMID: 39028670 PMCID: PMC11259905 DOI: 10.1001/jamanetworkopen.2024.22454] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/24/2024] [Accepted: 05/16/2024] [Indexed: 07/21/2024] Open
Abstract
Importance Diagnosing solid lesions in the pancreas via endoscopic ultrasonographic (EUS) images is challenging. Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to help with such diagnosis, but existing AI models focus solely on a single modality. Objective To advance the clinical diagnosis of solid lesions in the pancreas through developing a multimodal AI model integrating both clinical information and EUS images. Design, Setting, and Participants In this randomized crossover trial conducted from January 1 to June 30, 2023, from 4 centers across China, 12 endoscopists of varying levels of expertise were randomly assigned to diagnose solid lesions in the pancreas with or without AI assistance. Endoscopic ultrasonographic images and clinical information of 439 patients from 1 institution who had solid lesions in the pancreas between January 1, 2014, and December 31, 2022, were collected to train and validate the joint-AI model, while 189 patients from 3 external institutions were used to evaluate the robustness and generalizability of the model. Intervention Conventional or AI-assisted diagnosis of solid lesions in the pancreas. Main Outcomes and Measures In the retrospective dataset, the performance of the joint-AI model was evaluated internally and externally. In the prospective dataset, diagnostic performance of the endoscopists with or without the AI assistance was compared. Results The retrospective dataset included 628 patients (400 men [63.7%]; mean [SD] age, 57.7 [27.4] years) who underwent EUS procedures. A total of 130 patients (81 men [62.3%]; mean [SD] age, 58.4 [11.7] years) were prospectively recruited for the crossover trial. The area under the curve of the joint-AI model ranged from 0.996 (95% CI, 0.993-0.998) in the internal test dataset to 0.955 (95% CI, 0.940-0.968), 0.924 (95% CI, 0.888-0.955), and 0.976 (95% CI, 0.942-0.995) in the 3 external test datasets, respectively. The diagnostic accuracy of novice endoscopists was significantly enhanced with AI assistance (0.69 [95% CI, 0.61-0.76] vs 0.90 [95% CI, 0.83-0.94]; P < .001), and the supplementary interpretability information alleviated the skepticism of the experienced endoscopists. Conclusions and Relevance In this randomized crossover trial of diagnosing solid lesions in the pancreas with or without AI assistance, the joint-AI model demonstrated positive human-AI interaction, which suggested its potential to facilitate a clinical diagnosis. Nevertheless, future randomized clinical trials are warranted. Trial Registration ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT05476978.

Abstract
The pancreas is a vital organ in digestive system which has significant health implications. It is imperative to evaluate and identify malignant pancreatic lesions promptly in light of the high mortality rate linked to such malignancies. Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS) is a non-invasive precise technique to detect pancreas disorders, but it is highly operator dependent. Artificial intelligence (AI), including traditional machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) techniques can play a pivotal role to enhancing the performance of EUS regardless of operator. AI performs a critical function in the detection, classification, and segmentation of medical images. The utilization of AI-assisted systems has improved the accuracy and productivity of pancreatic analysis, including the detection of diverse pancreatic disorders (e.g., pancreatitis, masses, and cysts) as well as landmarks and parenchyma. This systematic review examines the rapidly developing domain of AI-assisted system in EUS of the pancreas. Its objective is to present a thorough study of the present research status and developments in this area. This paper explores the significant challenges of AI-assisted system in pancreas EUS imaging, highlights the potential of AI techniques in addressing these challenges, and suggests the scope for future research in domain of AI-assisted EUS systems.

Rey JF. As how artificial intelligence is revolutionizing endoscopy. Clin Endosc 2024; 57:302-308. [PMID: 38454543 PMCID: PMC11133999 DOI: 10.5946/ce.2023.230] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/13/2023] [Revised: 10/11/2023] [Accepted: 10/15/2023] [Indexed: 03/09/2024] Open
Abstract
With incessant advances in information technology and its implications in all domains of our lives, artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a requirement for improved machine performance. This brings forth the query of how this can benefit endoscopists and improve both diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopy in each part of the gastrointestinal tract. Additionally, it also raises the question of the recent benefits and clinical usefulness of this new technology in daily endoscopic practice. There are two main categories of AI systems: computer-assisted detection (CADe) for lesion detection and computer-assisted diagnosis (CADx) for optical biopsy and lesion characterization. Quality assurance is the next step in the complete monitoring of high-quality colonoscopies. In all cases, computer-aided endoscopy is used, as the overall results rely on the physician. Video capsule endoscopy is a unique example in which a computer operates a device, stores multiple images, and performs an accurate diagnosis. While there are many expectations, we need to standardize and assess various software packages. It is important for healthcare providers to support this new development and make its use an obligation in daily clinical practice. In summary, AI represents a breakthrough in digestive endoscopy. Screening for gastric and colonic cancer detection should be improved, particularly outside expert centers. Prospective and multicenter trials are mandatory before introducing new software into clinical practice.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES In this study we aimed to develop an artificial intelligence-based model for predicting postendoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) pancreatitis (PEP). METHODS We retrospectively reviewed ERCP patients at Nagoya University Hospital (NUH) and Toyota Memorial Hospital (TMH). We constructed two prediction models, a random forest (RF), one of the machine-learning algorithms, and a logistic regression (LR) model. First, we selected features of each model from 40 possible features. Then the models were trained and validated using three fold cross-validation in the NUH cohort and tested in the TMH cohort. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) was used to assess model performance. Finally, using the output parameters of the RF model, we classified the patients into low-, medium-, and high-risk groups. RESULTS A total of 615 patients at NUH and 544 patients at TMH were enrolled. Ten features were selected for the RF model, including albumin, creatinine, biliary tract cancer, pancreatic cancer, bile duct stone, total procedure time, pancreatic duct injection, pancreatic guidewire-assisted technique without a pancreatic stent, intraductal ultrasonography, and bile duct biopsy. In the three fold cross-validation, the RF model showed better predictive ability than the LR model (AUROC 0.821 vs. 0.660). In the test, the RF model also showed better performance (AUROC 0.770 vs. 0.663, P = 0.002). Based on the RF model, we classified the patients according to the incidence of PEP (2.9%, 10.0%, and 23.9%). CONCLUSION We developed an RF model. Machine-learning algorithms could be powerful tools to develop accurate prediction models.

Current status of artificial intelligence analysis for the treatment of pancreaticobiliary diseases using endoscopic ultrasonography and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. DEN OPEN 2024; 4:e267.

Abstract
Pancreatic and biliary diseases encompass a range of conditions requiring accurate diagnosis for appropriate treatment strategies. This diagnosis relies heavily on imaging techniques like endoscopic ultrasonography and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. Artificial intelligence (AI), including machine learning and deep learning, is becoming integral in medical imaging and diagnostics, such as the detection of colorectal polyps. AI shows great potential in diagnosing pancreatobiliary diseases. Unlike machine learning, which requires feature extraction and selection, deep learning can utilize images directly as input. Accurate evaluation of AI performance is a complex task due to varied terminologies, evaluation methods, and development stages. Essential aspects of AI evaluation involve defining the AI's purpose, choosing appropriate gold standards, deciding on the validation phase, and selecting reliable validation methods. AI, particularly deep learning, is increasingly employed in endoscopic ultrasonography and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography diagnostics, achieving high accuracy levels in detecting and classifying various pancreatobiliary diseases. The AI often performs better than doctors, even in tasks like differentiating benign from malignant pancreatic tumors, cysts, and subepithelial lesions, identifying gallbladder lesions, assessing endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography difficulty, and evaluating the biliary strictures. The potential for AI in diagnosing pancreatobiliary diseases, especially where other modalities have limitations, is considerable. However, a crucial constraint is the need for extensive, high-quality annotated data for AI training. Future advances in AI, such as large language models, promise further applications in the medical field.

Deep Learning in High-Resolution Anoscopy: Assessing the Impact of Staining and Therapeutic Manipulation on Automated Detection of Anal Cancer Precursors. Clin Transl Gastroenterol 2024; 15:e00681. [PMID: 38270249 DOI: 10.14309/ctg.0000000000000681] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/18/2023] [Accepted: 01/10/2024] [Indexed: 01/26/2024] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION High-resolution anoscopy (HRA) is the gold standard for detecting anal squamous cell carcinoma (ASCC) precursors. Preliminary studies on the application of artificial intelligence (AI) models to this modality have revealed promising results. However, the impact of staining techniques and anal manipulation on the effectiveness of these algorithms has not been evaluated. We aimed to develop a deep learning system for automatic differentiation of high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion vs low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion in HRA images in different subsets of patients (nonstained, acetic acid, lugol, and after manipulation). METHODS A convolutional neural network was developed to detect and differentiate high-grade and low-grade anal squamous intraepithelial lesions based on 27,770 images from 103 HRA examinations performed in 88 patients. Subanalyses were performed to evaluate the algorithm's performance in subsets of images without staining, acetic acid, lugol, and after manipulation of the anal canal. The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive and negative predictive values, and area under the curve were calculated. RESULTS The convolutional neural network achieved an overall accuracy of 98.3%. The algorithm had a sensitivity and specificity of 97.4% and 99.2%, respectively. The accuracy of the algorithm for differentiating high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion vs low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion varied between 91.5% (postmanipulation) and 100% (lugol) for the categories at subanalysis. The area under the curve ranged between 0.95 and 1.00. DISCUSSION The introduction of AI to HRA may provide an accurate detection and differentiation of ASCC precursors. Our algorithm showed excellent performance at different staining settings. This is extremely important because real-time AI models during HRA examinations can help guide local treatment or detect relapsing disease.

Abstract
Solid pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas (SPTP) is a rare neoplasm predominantly observed in young females. Pathologically, CTNNB1 mutations, β-catenin nuclear accumulation, and subsequent Wnt-signaling pathway activation are the leading molecular features. Accurate preoperative diagnosis often relies on imaging techniques and endoscopic biopsies. Surgical resection remains the mainstay treatment. Risk models, such as the Fudan Prognostic Index, show promise as predictive tools for assessing the prognosis of SPTP. Establishing three types of metachronous liver metastasis can be beneficial in tailoring individualized treatment and follow-up strategies. Despite advancements, challenges persist in understanding its etiology, establishing standardized treatments for unresectable or metastatic diseases, and developing a widely recognized grading system. This comprehensive review aims to elucidate the enigma by consolidating current knowledge on the epidemiology, clinical presentation, pathology, molecular characteristics, diagnostic methods, treatment options, and prognostic factors.

Abstract
Gastrointestinal (GI) complications frequently necessitate intensive care unit (ICU) admission. Additionally, critically ill patients also develop GI complications requiring further diagnostic and therapeutic interventions. However, these patients form a vulnerable group, who are at risk for developing side effects and complications. Every effort must be made to reduce invasiveness and ensure safety of interventions in ICU patients. Artificial intelligence (AI) is a rapidly evolving technology with several potential applications in healthcare settings. ICUs produce a large amount of data, which may be employed for creation of AI algorithms, and provide a lucrative opportunity for application of AI. However, the current role of AI in these patients remains limited due to lack of large-scale trials comparing the efficacy of AI with the accepted standards of care.

Abstract
Artificial intelligence (AI) is an epoch-making technology, among which the 2 most advanced parts are machine learning and deep learning algorithms that have been further developed by machine learning, and it has been partially applied to assist EUS diagnosis. AI-assisted EUS diagnosis has been reported to have great value in the diagnosis of pancreatic tumors and chronic pancreatitis, gastrointestinal stromal tumors, esophageal early cancer, biliary tract, and liver lesions. The application of AI in EUS diagnosis still has some urgent problems to be solved. First, the development of sensitive AI diagnostic tools requires a large amount of high-quality training data. Second, there is overfitting and bias in the current AI algorithms, leading to poor diagnostic reliability. Third, the value of AI still needs to be determined in prospective studies. Fourth, the ethical risks of AI need to be considered and avoided.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diagnosing pancreatic lesions, including chronic pancreatitis, autoimmune pancreatitis, and pancreatic cancer, poses a challenge and, as a result, is time-consuming. To tackle this issue, artificial intelligence (AI) has been increasingly utilized over the years. AI can analyze large data sets with heightened accuracy, reduce interobserver variability, and can standardize the interpretation of radiologic and histopathologic lesions. Therefore, this study aims to review the use of AI in the detection and differentiation of pancreatic space-occupying lesions and to compare AI-assisted endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) with conventional EUS in terms of their detection capabilities. METHODS Literature searches were conducted through PubMed/Medline, SCOPUS, and Embase to identify studies eligible for inclusion. Original articles, including observational studies, randomized control trials, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and case series specifically focused on AI-assisted EUS in adults, were included. Data were extracted and pooled, and a meta-analysis was conducted using Meta-xl. For results exhibiting significant heterogeneity, a random-effects model was employed; otherwise, a fixed-effects model was utilized. RESULTS A total of 21 studies were included in the review with four studies pooled for a meta-analysis. A pooled accuracy of 93.6% (CI 90.4-96.8%) was found using the random-effects model on four studies that showed significant heterogeneity ( P <0.05) in the Cochrane's Q test. Further, a pooled sensitivity of 93.9% (CI 92.4-95.3%) was found using a fixed-effects model on seven studies that showed no significant heterogeneity in the Cochrane's Q test. When it came to pooled specificity, a fixed-effects model was utilized in six studies that showed no significant heterogeneity in the Cochrane's Q test and determined as 93.1% (CI 90.7-95.4%). The pooled positive predictive value which was done using the random-effects model on six studies that showed significant heterogeneity was 91.6% (CI 87.3-95.8%). The pooled negative predictive value which was done using the random-effects model on six studies that showed significant heterogeneity was 93.6% (CI 90.4-96.8%). CONCLUSION AI-assisted EUS shows a high degree of accuracy in the detection and differentiation of pancreatic space-occupying lesions over conventional EUS. Its application may promote prompt and accurate diagnosis of pancreatic pathologies.

Abstract
Background Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is a main tool in gastroenterology for both diagnosis and exclusion of pancreatic pathology. It allows minimally invasive assessment of various diseases or anatomic variations affecting the pancreas also with the help of new Doppler technologies, elastography, contrast-enhanced imaging including post hoc image processing with quantification analyses, three-dimensional reconstruction, and artificial intelligence. EUS also allows interventional direct access to the pancreatic parenchyma and the retroperitoneal space, to the pancreatic duct, pancreatic masses, cysts, and vascular structures. Summary This review aimed to summarize new developments of EUS in the field of pancreatology. We highlight the role of EUS in evaluating pancreatic pathology by describing normal anatomic variants like pancreas divisum, pancreatic lipomatosis, pancreatic fibrosis in the elderly and characterizing pancreatic masses, both in the context of chronic pancreatitis and within healthy pancreatic parenchyma. EUS is considered the optimal imaging modality for pancreatic masses of uncertain dignity and allows both cytological diagnosis and histology, which is essential not only for neoplastic conditions but also for tailoring therapy for benign inflammatory conditions. Key Messages EUS plays an indispensable role in pancreatology and the development of new diagnostic and interventional approaches to the retroperitoneal space and the pancreas exponentially increased over the last years. The development of computer-aided diagnosis and artificial intelligence algorithms hold the potential to overcome the obstacles associated with interobserver variability and will most likely support decision-making in the management of pancreatic disease.

Abstract
Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) has emerged as a widely utilized tool in the diagnosis of digestive diseases. In recent years, the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare has been gradually recognized, and its superiority in the field of EUS is becoming apparent. Machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) are the two main AI algorithms. This paper aims to outline the applications and prospects of artificial intelligence-assisted endoscopic ultrasound (EUS-AI) in digestive diseases over the past decade. The results demonstrated that EUS-AI has shown superiority or at least equivalence to traditional methods in the diagnosis, prognosis, and quality control of subepithelial lesions, early esophageal cancer, early gastric cancer, and pancreatic diseases including pancreatic cystic lesions, autoimmune pancreatitis, and pancreatic cancer. The implementation of EUS-AI has opened up new avenues for individualized precision medicine and has introduced novel diagnostic and treatment approaches for digestive diseases.

Abstract
Background and aims Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) is commonly utilized in the diagnosis of pancreatic tumors, although as this modality relies primarily on the practitioner's visual judgment, it is prone to result in a missed diagnosis or misdiagnosis due to inexperience, fatigue, or distraction. Deep learning (DL) techniques, which can be used to automatically extract detailed imaging features from images, have been increasingly beneficial in the field of medical image-based assisted diagnosis. The present systematic review included a meta-analysis aimed at evaluating the accuracy of DL-assisted EUS for the diagnosis of pancreatic tumors diagnosis. Methods We performed a comprehensive search for all studies relevant to EUS and DL in the following four databases, from their inception through February 2023: PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library. Target studies were strictly screened based on specific inclusion and exclusion criteria, after which we performed a meta-analysis using Stata 16.0 to assess the diagnostic ability of DL and compare it with that of EUS practitioners. Any sources of heterogeneity were explored using subgroup and meta-regression analyses. Results A total of 10 studies, involving 3,529 patients and 34,773 training images, were included in the present meta-analysis. The pooled sensitivity was 93% (95% confidence interval [CI], 87-96%), the pooled specificity was 95% (95% CI, 89-98%), and the area under the summary receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) was 0.98 (95% CI, 0.96-0.99). Conclusion DL-assisted EUS has a high accuracy and clinical applicability for diagnosing pancreatic tumors.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW With the incessant advances in information technology and its implications in all domains of our life, artificial intelligence (AI) started to emerge as a need for better machine performance. How it can help endoscopists and what are the areas of interest in improving both diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopy in each part of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. What are the recent benefits and clinical usefulness of this new technology in daily endoscopic practice. RECENT FINDINGS The two main AI systems categories are computer-assisted detection 'CADe' for lesion detection and computer-assisted diagnosis 'CADx' for optical biopsy and lesion characterization. Multiple softwares are now implemented in endoscopy practice. Other AI systems offer therapeutic assistance such as lesion delineation for complete endoscopic resection or prediction of possible lymphanode after endoscopic treatment. Quality assurance is the coming step with complete monitoring of high-quality colonoscopy. In all cases it is a computer-aid endoscopy as the overall result rely on the physician. Video capsule endoscopy is the unique example were the computer conduct the device, store multiple images, and perform accurate diagnosis. SUMMARY AI is a breakthrough in digestive endoscopy. Screening gastric and colonic cancer detection should be improved especially outside of expert's centers. Prospective and multicenter trials are mandatory before introducing new software in clinical practice.

Zhao Q, Jia Q, Chi T. Deep learning as a novel method for endoscopic diagnosis of chronic atrophic gastritis: a prospective nested case-control study. BMC Gastroenterol 2022; 22:352. [PMID: 35879649 PMCID: PMC9310473 DOI: 10.1186/s12876-022-02427-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/15/2022] [Accepted: 07/15/2022] [Indexed: 11/28/2022] Open
Abstract
Background and aims Chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG) is a precancerous disease that often leads to the development of gastric cancer (GC) and is positively correlated with GC morbidity. However, the sensitivity of the endoscopic diagnosis of CAG is only 42%. Therefore, we developed a real-time video monitoring model for endoscopic diagnosis of CAG based on U-Net deep learning (DL) and conducted a prospective nested case–control study to evaluate the diagnostic evaluation indices of the model and its consistency with pathological diagnosis.
Methods Our cohort consisted of 1539 patients undergoing gastroscopy from December 1, 2020, to July 1, 2021. Based on pathological diagnosis, patients in the cohort were divided into the CAG group or the chronic nonatrophic gastritis (CNAG) group, and we assessed the diagnostic evaluation indices of this model and its consistency with pathological diagnosis after propensity score matching (PSM) to minimize selection bias in the study. Results After matching, the diagnostic evaluation indices and consistency evaluation of the model were better than those of endoscopists [sensitivity (84.02% vs. 62.72%), specificity (97.04% vs. 81.95%), positive predictive value (96.60% vs. 77.66%), negative predictive value (85.86% vs. 68.73%), accuracy rate (90.53% vs. 72.34%), Youden index (81.06% vs. 44.67%), odd product (172.5 vs. 7.64), positive likelihood ratio (28.39 vs. 3.47), negative likelihood ratio (0.16 vs. 0.45), AUC (95% CI) [0.909 (0.884–0.934) vs. 0.740 (0.702–0.778)] and Kappa (0.852 vs. 0.558)]. Conclusions Our prospective nested case–control study proved that the diagnostic evaluation indices and consistency evaluation of the real-time video monitoring model for endoscopic diagnosis of CAG based on U-Net DL were superior to those of endoscopists.
