Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: AQCS-aided group
Patients in AQCS-aided group will go through white light EGD examination with assistance of AQCS.
|
Device: Computer-aided Real-time Automatic Quality-control System
EGD automatic quality-control system(AQCS),developed based on deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) models,could facilitate real-time detection of upper gastrointestinal lesions, assess inspection completeness and mucosal visibility, and calculate time of EGD procedure. |
No Intervention: Control group
Patients in control group will go through white light EGD examination without AQCS.

- Detection rate of early cancer and precancerous lesions on upper gastrointestinal tract confirmed by pathological examination [ Time Frame: 6 months ]The primary outcome is the detection rate of early cancer and precancerous lesions on upper gastrointestinal tract confirmed by pathological examination per group.
- Detection rate of early cancer and precancerous lesions on upper gastrointestinal tract in tertiary hospitals and secondary hospitals. [ Time Frame: 6 months ]Effect of detection rate of early cancer and precancerous lesions on upper gastrointestinal tract from tertiary hospitals and secondary hospitals with assistance of AQCS.
- Mean inspection completeness of two groups. [ Time Frame: 6 months ]Inspection completeness includes taking standard images of each parts of esophageal and gastric cavity.
- Mean inspection time of EGD procedure of two groups. [ Time Frame: During procedure ]Inspection time of EGD procedure is the time endoscopy inserting to withdrawing the mouth and does not include the time of biopsy.
- Detection rate of early cancer and precancerous lesions on upper gastrointestinal tract from senior, intermediate and primary endoscopist with assistance of AQCS. [ Time Frame: 6 months ]Effect of detection rate of early cancer and precancerous lesions on upper gastrointestinal tract from senior, intermediate and primary endoscopist with assistance of AQCS.
