Core Tip

Core Tip: This study is the first to use machine learning methods to construct and validate a prediction model for one year recurrence of colorectal polyps after endoscopic mucosal resection. Key predictors included age, smoking, family history, diarrhea, hazard classification, Helicobacter pylori infection, number and size of polyps. According to receiver operating characteristic curves, sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, precision, and F1 scores, eXtreme Gradient Boosting model has the best performance. Based on this model, an online web calculator was built to help clinicians better distinguish high-risk groups and provide patients with personalized colonoscopy follow-up recommendations.
