Quality indicators in esophagogastroduodenoscopy

Sang Yoon Kim et al. Clin Endosc. 2022 May.

Abstract

Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) has been used to diagnose a wide variety of upper gastrointestinal diseases. In particular, EGD is used to screen high-risk subjects of gastric cancer. Quality control of EGD is important because the diagnostic rate is examiner-dependent. However, there is still no representative quality indicator that can be uniformly applied in EGD. There has been growing awareness of the importance of quality control in improving EGD performance. Therefore, we aimed to review the available and emerging quality indicators for diagnostic EGD.

Keywords: Detection rate; Esophagogastroduodenoscopy; Guideline; Neoplasms; Quality indicators.
