An objective assessment of the cleanliness grade of the small bowel (SB) is currently lacking. We developed and validated an artificial intelligence (AI) tool to assess SB cleanliness in a multicenter observational study comparing four types of bowel preparations.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Objectives Identify the best preparation for SBCE applying a system based on convolutional neural networks that assess the SB degree of cleanliness.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Design We included 372 SBCE consecutive procedures with four different bowel preparations. Group A (n = 93): liquid diet (LD), Group B (n = 92): macrogol 3350 + ascorbic acid 1000 mL, Group C (n = 94): sodium picosulfate, and Group D (n = 93): macrogol 500 mL. The degree of cleanliness of the SB was evaluated with the automatic tool (0\u2013100%). Gastric and SB transit times, DY, and degree of satisfaction with the preparation were also evaluated.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Results Mean age of included patients was 58.14 years (confidence interval 95% 18\u201393 years); 55.9% were women. There were no significant differences in the degree of cleanliness of the SB evaluated with AI between groups (Mean Group A: 51.28%; B: 54.79%; C: 52.44%; D: 55.34%; p=0.415), nor in transit times or DY. LD was the best-tolerated preparation. Multivariable analysis identified age and diabetes as independent predictors of lower cleanliness.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Conclusion We demonstrated using an AI-based tool, that LD provides adequate preparation for SBCE, questioning the routine administration of laxatives and supporting a patient-centered
