Impact of a training intervention on upper gastrointestinal endoscopy quality over time: Multicenter comparative cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background and study aims

The European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE) and British Society of Gastroenterology (BSG) formulated performance measures to improve the detection rate for upper gastrointestinal (UGI) endoscopy. We aimed to assess adherence to and impact of training on adherence to performance measures for UGI endoscopy.

Methods

In this multicenter, prospective, cohort study, endoscopists at three centers underwent 1-hour face-to-face training based on ESGE and BSG procedure performance measures (≥ 7-minute inspection time; photodocumentation of ≥ 10 anatomical landmarks + abnormalities; standardized terminology; biopsy protocols). A self-developed quality assessment score was used to assess diagnostic UGI endoscopies before (control group) and after
