Abstract
Background and aimsChronic 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.MethodsOur 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.ResultsAfter 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)].ConclusionsOur 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.Trial registrationChiCTR2100044458, 18/03/2020.
