Abstract
Aim: Endoscopists utilize depth-predicting score (DPS) and simplified depth-predicting score (S-DPS) to predict the invasion depth of early gastric cancer based on conventional white-light endoscopic features. The effectiveness of these scores has not been fully elucidated among nonexpert endoscopists. This study aimed to compare the ability of DPS and S-DPS to predict invasion depth of differentiated early gastric cancers by nonexpert endoscopists.
Participants and methods: We collected subitem scores of DPS and S-DPS from 19 nonexpert endoscopists for early gastric cancer conventional white-light endoscopy images in the test dataset to predict the invasion depth of the early gastric cancer conventional white-light endoscopy images. Accuracy, specificity, overdiagnosis rate, and underdiagnosis rate were subsequently calculated using the histological invasion depth as the gold standard.
Results: Using 3 as the cutoff line, the overall S-DPS diagnostic accuracy for invasion depth was significantly greater than that of DPS [73.86% (69.32%, 75.00%) vs. 67.05% (62.50%, 71.59%), p=0.005]. The overall S-DPS overdiagnosis rate was significantly lower than that of DPS [7.58% (3.03%, 13.64%) vs. 28.79% (18.18%, 37.88%), p=0.000]. The overall S-DPS under-diagnosed rate was significantly higher than that of DPS [86.36% (68.18%, 90.91%) vs. 45.45% (31.82%, 59.09%), p=0.000]. The specificity of the S-DPS was significantly greater than that of DPS [92.42% (86.36%, 96.97%) vs. 71.21% (62.12%, 81.82%), p=0.000].
Conclusion: The diagnostic accuracy of the S-DPS was greater than that of the DPS among nonexpert endoscopists. Furthermore, S-DPS is simpler than other methods, making it more conducive to clinical application for nonexpert endoscopists.
