Development and technical validation of an artificial intelligence model for quantitative analysis of histopathologic features of eosinophilic esophagitis

“…Recently, a more comprehensive semi-quantitative method – the eosinophilic esophagitis histologic scoring system (EoEHSS) – has been developed and validated. 5 , 6 , 7 In addition to the assessment of eosinophils, this method also includes semi-quantitative scoring of various features of epithelial injury.…”

Usefulness of the Eosinophilic Esophagitis Histologic Scoring System in Distinguishing Active Eosinophilic Esophagitis From Remission and Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease

“…Subsequently, other investigators have independently established the value of EoEHSS [ 12 ]. It is now recognized as the most valid, reliable index currently available for measurement of histological disease activity in EoE [ 13 ]. The present study employs a novel application of the EoEHSS in which the total grade and stage scores and the individual histologic features were compared between the mid and distal esophagus in children with active EoE (EoE-A), EoE in remission (EoE-R), and GERD.…”
