Correlation of the detection rate of upper GI cancer with artificial intelligence score: results from a multicenter trial (with video).

Background And Aims: The quality of EGD is a prerequisite for a high detection rate of upper GI lesions, especially early gastric cancer. Our previous study showed that an artificial intelligence system, named intelligent detection endoscopic assistant (IDEA), could help to monitor blind spots and provide an operation score during EGD. Here, we verified the effectiveness of IDEA to help evaluate the quality of EGD in a large-scale multicenter trial.

Seven-day triple therapy is a better choice for Helicobacter pylori eradication in regions with low antibiotic resistance.

Aim: To investigate whether 7-d triple therapies are still valid in populations with low levels of resistance.

Methods: A total of 1106 Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori)-positive patients were divided into three groups, each of which received one type of 7-d triple therapy.
