The use of artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly advancing in gastroenterology, most notably in the area of endoscopy, but also more widely throughout the speciality. This article reviews what AI is, how it works and some of the key advances it is bringing. AI can already improve patient triage so that resources can be better targeted at sick patients. In endoscopy, AI can improve the detection of polyps during colonoscopy and the accuracy of diagnosis, while in Barrett's oesophagus, it can improve the detection of pre-cancerous dysplasia so that all endoscopists can emulate the performance of world-class experts. Systems are being developed to automate the assessment of bowel preparation quality and report writing. The power of novel generative AI such as ChatGPT could drive major improvements in communication between busy clinicians and patients. Healthcare professionals need to ensure they understand how to manage the ‘black-box’ that is AI.

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is characterised by chronic mucosal inflammation primarily in the colon. Guidelines recommend mesalazine as first-line therapy for induction of maintenance in mild-to-moderate Ulcerative colitis. Patients' preferences, response to treatment, site and extent of inflammation and cost are important considerations when selecting mesalazine therapy. This article reviews mesalazine's role in ulcerative colitis and explores the factors to consider when optimising mesalazine-based therapy. Up to two-thirds of patients fail to respond to induction therapy within 8 weeks, thereby prompting a switch of formulations or escalation to oral corticosteroids. While there are no major variations in efficacy, different mesalazine formulations are not interchangeable because of differences in mode of drug delivery, site of drug release and excipients. Switching mesalazine products before escalating therapy may, therefore, spare patients from wider side effects and higher costs. Optimising mesalazine-based therapy requires individualised treatment plans based on patient preferences, site and extent of inflammation, response to treatment and potential side effects. An algorithm exists to guide the selection of alternative mesalazine formulations when required.

The British Society for Gastroenterology (BSG) guidelines for post-polypectomy and post-cancer-resection surveillance were changed in October 2020, essentially excluding a large proportion of patients awaiting a surveillance colonoscopy as they now no longer fit the criteria for surveillance. To audit the colonoscopy surveillance waiting list at the Wye Valley Trust to ascertain patient appropriateness for colonoscopy under the new BSG guidelines. A practitioner-led colonoscopy surveillance clinic led by a clinical endoscopist was set up to audit the colonoscopy surveillance waiting list of over 1200 patients. The aim was to clinically assess each patient against the guidelines and determine discharge from, or continuation of, the surveillance pathway for each patient. The patients were then offered outpatient clinic appointments where fitness was assessed and appropriate investigations were finalised. Patient numbers on the colonoscopy surveillance waiting list were reduced by nearly 50%, with waiting times down to 0 weeks, by facilitating practitioner-led pre-assessment and outpatient clinics, all while saving Weston General Hospital almost £300000 in the initial 9 months. The new colonoscopy surveillance guidelines presented an opportunity to audit and evaluate the colonoscopy guidelines in the Wye Valley Trust. The facilitation of a clinical endoscopist committed time to implement new pre-assessment processes and outpatient clinics, this process allowed the discharge of almost 50% of patients upon the colonoscopy surveillance waiting list, it created extra colonoscopy capacity for 2 week wait and urgent colonoscopies, while generating a positive financial implication for the trust.
