{"title":"Impact of AI-Assisted Endoscopy on Secondary Review and Referral Decisions in Gastric Cancer Screening: A Multicenter Real-World Study.","authors":"Sachiyo Onishi, Seiji Adachi, Masahito Shimizu","doi":"10.1111/jgh.70823","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1111/jgh.70823","url":null,"abstract":"<p><strong>Objectives: </strong>Artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted endoscopy may support gastric cancer screening, but its impact on structured secondary human review remains unclear.

The primary outcome was secondary review modifications. Secondary outcomes included referral for further diagnostic evaluation. Multivariable logistic regression analyses adjusted for age, sex, Helicobacter pylori eradication status, prior-year endoscopy, and endoscopist experience were performed.

Cancer-related modifications remained uncommon but increased after AI implementation (0.6% vs. 0.2%, p = 0.04).

No placebo or case-control group was included. Gut microbiota profiles were analyzed before and after FMT using 16S rRNA sequencing.

These shifts correlated with a significant rise in SCFA concentrations, particularly acetic and butyric acids.

Multivariable binary logistic regression identified Faecalibacterium, ACE index, and acetic acid as independent predictors of clinically defined constipation severity.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>FMT was associated with increased microbial diversity, restoration of SCFA-producing taxa, and increased SCFA concentrations in patients with CC.
