AI Article Synopsis
- The European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE) has created a list of key performance measures specifically for colonoscopy in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
- Current performance measures primarily focus on finding (pre)malignant lesions, which may not apply to all IBD colonoscopy situations.
- The goal is to assist endoscopy services in Europe and beyond in improving and monitoring the quality of IBD colonoscopies, proposing eight main and one minor performance measures for evaluation in daily practice.
Article Abstract
The European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE) presents a short list of performance measures for colonoscopy in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients. Current performance measures for colonoscopy mainly focus on detecting (pre)malignant lesions. However, these performance measures are not relevant for all colonoscopy indications in IBD patients. Therefore, our aim was to provide endoscopy services across Europe and other interested countries with a tool for quality monitoring and improvement in IBD colonoscopy. Eight key performance measures and one minor performance measure were recommended for measurement and evaluation in daily endoscopy practice.
