Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a complex disease with a high worldwide prevalence. The Los Angeles classification (LA-grade) system is meaningful for assessing the endoscopic severity of GERD. Deep learning (DL) methods have been widely used in the field of endoscopy. However, few DL-assisted researches have concentrated on the diagnosis of GERD. This study is the first to develop a five-category classification DL model based on the LA-grade using explainable artificial intelligence (XAI). A total of 2081 endoscopic images were used for the development of a DL model, and the classification accuracy of the models and endoscopists with different levels of experience was compared. Some mainstream DL models were utilized, of which DenseNet-121 outperformed. The area under the curve (AUC) of the DenseNet-121 was 0.968, and its classification accuracy (86.7%) was significantly higher than that of junior (71.5%) and experienced (77.4%) endoscopists. An XAI evaluation was also performed to explore the perception consistency between the DL model and endoscopists, which showed meaningful results for real-world applications. The DL model showed a potential in improving the accuracy of endoscopists in LA-grading of GERD, and it has noticeable clinical application prospects and is worthy of further promotion.
