Quality indicators for GI endoscopic proceduresQuality indicators for EGD
Section snippets
Methodology
In 2006, the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE)/American College of Gastroenterology (ACG) Task Force on Quality in Endoscopy published the first version of quality indicators for EGD.4 The present update integrates new data pertaining to previously proposed quality indicators and new quality indicators for performing EGD. Indicators that had wide-ranging clinical application, were associated with variation in practice and outcomes, and were validated in clinical studies
