Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Benefits of computer-aided detection (CADe) in detecting colorectal neoplasia were shown in many randomized trials in which endoscopists' behavior was strictly controlled. However, the effect of CADe on endoscopists' performance in less-controlled setting is unclear. This systematic review and meta-analyses were aimed at clarifying benefits and harms of using CADe in real-world colonoscopy. METHODS We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane, and Google Scholar from inception to August 20, 2023. We included nonrandomized studies that compared the effectiveness between CADe-assisted and standard colonoscopy. Two investigators independently extracted study data and quality. Pairwise meta-analysis was performed utilizing risk ratio for dichotomous variables and mean difference (MD) for continuous variables with a 95% confidence interval (CI). RESULTS Eight studies were included, comprising 9782 patients (4569 with CADe and 5213 without CADe). Regarding benefits, there was a difference in neither adenoma detection rate (44% vs 38%; risk ratio, 1.11; 95% CI, 0.97 to 1.28) nor mean adenomas per colonoscopy (0.93 vs 0.79; MD, 0.14; 95% CI, -0.04 to 0.32) between CADe-assisted and standard colonoscopy, respectively. Regarding harms, there was no difference in the mean non-neoplastic lesions per colonoscopy (8 studies included for analysis; 0.52 vs 0.47; MD, 0.14; 95% CI, -0.07 to 0.34) and withdrawal time (6 studies included for analysis; 14.3 vs 13.4 minutes; MD, 0.8 minutes; 95% CI, -0.18 to 1.90). There was a substantial heterogeneity, and all outcomes were graded with a very low certainty of evidence. CONCLUSION CADe in colonoscopies neither improves the detection of colorectal neoplasia nor increases burden of colonoscopy in real-world, nonrandomized studies, questioning the generalizability of the results of randomized trials.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Colonoscopy is a mainstay to detect premalignant neoplastic lesions in the colon. Real-time Artificial Intelligence (AI)-aided colonoscopy purportedly improves the polyp detection rate, especially for small flat lesions. The aim of this study is to evaluate the performance of real-time AI-aided colonoscopy in the detection of colonic polyps. METHODS A prospective single institution cohort study was conducted in Singapore. All real-time AI-aided colonoscopies, regardless of indication, performed by specialist-grade endoscopists were anonymously recorded from July to September 2021 and reviewed by 2 independent authors (FHK, JL). Sustained detection of an area by the program was regarded as a "hit". Histology for the polypectomies were reviewed to determine adenoma detection rate (ADR). Individual endoscopist's performance with AI were compared against their baseline performance without AI endoscopy. RESULTS A total of 24 (82.8%) endoscopists participated with 18 (62.1%) performing ≥ 5 AI-aided colonoscopies. Of the 18, 72.2% (n = 13) were general surgeons. During that 3-months period, 487 "hits" encountered in 298 colonoscopies. Polypectomies were performed for 51.3% and 68.4% of these polypectomies were adenomas on histology. The post-intervention median ADR was 30.4% was higher than the median baseline polypectomy rate of 24.3% (p = 0.02). Of the adenomas excised, 14 (5.6%) were sessile serrated adenomas. Of those who performed ≥ 5 AI-aided colonoscopies, 13 (72.2%) had an improvement of ADR compared to their polypectomy rate before the introduction of AI, of which 2 of them had significant improvement. CONCLUSIONS Real-time AI-aided colonoscopy have the potential to improved ADR even for experienced endoscopists and would therefore, improve the quality of colonoscopy.

Abstract
Background Chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG) is a precancerous condition. It is not easy to detect CAG in endoscopy. Improving the detection rate of CAG under endoscopy is essential to reduce or interrupt the occurrence of gastric cancer. This study aimed to construct a deep learning (DL) model for CAG recognition based on endoscopic images to improve the CAG detection rate during endoscopy. Methods We collected 10,961 endoscopic images and 118 video clips from 4,050 patients. For model training and testing, we divided them into two groups based on the pathological results: CAG and chronic non-atrophic gastritis (CNAG). We compared the performance of four state-of-the-art (SOTA) DL networks for CAG recognition and selected one of them for further improvement. The improved network was called GAM-EfficientNet. Finally, we compared GAM-EfficientNet with three endoscopists and analyzed the decision basis of the network in the form of heatmaps. Results After fine-tuning and transfer learning, the sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of GAM-EfficientNet reached 93%, 94%, and 93.5% in the external test set and 96.23%, 89.23%, and 92.37% in the video test set, respectively, which were higher than those of the three endoscopists. Conclusions The CAG recognition model based on deep learning has high sensitivity and accuracy, and its performance is higher than that of endoscopists.

Abstract
An expanding range of advanced mucosal imaging technologies have been developed with the goal of improving the detection and characterization of lesions in the gastrointestinal tract. Many technologies have targeted colorectal neoplasia given the potential for intervention prior to the development of invasive cancer in the setting of widespread surveillance programs. Improvement in adenoma detection reduces miss rates and prevents interval cancer development. Advanced imaging technologies aim to enhance detection without significantly increasing procedural time. Accurate polyp characterisation guides resection techniques for larger polyps, as well as providing the platform for the “resect and discard” and “do not resect” strategies for small and diminutive polyps. This review aims to collate and summarise the evidence regarding these technologies to guide colonoscopic practice in both interventional and non-interventional endoscopists.
