Article Synopsis
- There is inconsistency in how to measure disease severity in familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), prompting a systematic review of existing endoscopic severity indices.
- A total of 134 studies were analyzed, revealing partial validation for certain aspects like polyp count and size, with the Spigelman classification system being the most widely used and exhibiting strong reliability in some observations.
- No endoscopic severity index for FAP has been fully validated, indicating a need for the development of reliable tools to enhance clinical care and research on FAP treatments.
