The Workgroup Serrated Polyps and Polyposis (WASP) classification for optical diagnosis of colorectal diminutive polyps with iScan and the impact of the revised World Health Organization (WHO) criteria.

ABSTRACT:

Background and aims

The Workgroup Serrated Polyps and Polyposis (WASP) developed criteria for optical diagnosis of colorectal polyps. The aims of this study were: (1) to improve optical diagnosis of diminutive colorectal polyps, especially SSLs, after training endoscopists in applying WASP criteria on videos of polyps obtained with iScan and (2) to evaluate if the WASP criteria are still useful when polyps are pathologically revised according to the World Health Organization (WHO) 2019 criteria.

Methods

Twenty-one endoscopists participated in a training session and predicted polyp histology on 30 videos of diminutive polyps, before and after training (T₀ and T₁ ). After three months, they scored another 30 videos (T₂ ). Primary outcome was ov
