Colorectal dysplasia in chronic inflammatory bowel disease: a contemporary consensus classification and interobserver study
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The clinical management of patients with dysplasia in chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is currently guided by Riddell et al.'s grading system (negative, indefinite, low grade, high grade) from 1983 which was based primarily on nuclear cytoarchitectural characteristics. Although most dysplasia in IBD resembles sporadic adenomas morphologically, other distinctive potential cancer precursors in IBD have been described over time. Recognizing the need for a updated comprehensive classification for IBD-associated dysplasia, an international working group of pathologists with extensive clinical and research experience in IBD devised a new classification system and assessed its reproducibility by having each participant assess test cases selected randomly from a repository of electronic images of potential cancer precursor lesions. The new classification system now encompasses three broad categories and nine sub-categories: 1) intestinal dysplasia (tubular/villous adenoma-like, goblet cell deficient, crypt cell, traditional serrated adenoma-like, sessile serrated lesion-like and serrated NOS), 2) gastric dysplasia (tubular/villous and serrated), and 3) mixed intestinal-gastric dysplasia. In the interobserver analysis, 67% of the diagnoses were considered definitive and achieved substantial inter-rater agreement. The key distinctions between intestinal and gastric lesions and between serrated and non-serrated lesions achieved substantial and moderate inter-rater agreement overall, respectively, however, the distinctions among certain serrated sub-categories achieved only fair agreement. Based on the Riddell grading system, definite dysplasia accounted for 86% of the collective responses (75% low grade, 11% high grade). Based on these results, this new classification of dysplasia in IBD can provide a sound foundation for future clinical and basic IBD research.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
