Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Diagnostic Endoscopy

Background:

  • Fibreoptic endoscopy is the gold standard for diagnosing upper gastro-intestinal symptoms.
  • High demand for endoscopic procedures in the UK surpasses healthcare capacity.
  • Unmanaged demand can lead to delays and reduced healthcare efficiency.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To define strategies for limiting demand for upper gastro-intestinal endoscopy.
  • To ensure a high diagnostic yield from available endoscopic resources.
  • To optimize the use of fibreoptic endoscopy in clinical practice.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current practices in upper gastro-intestinal endoscopy referrals.
  • Analysis of factors contributing to high demand.
  • Development of criteria for appropriate endoscopic investigation.

Main Results:

  • Identification of key areas where demand can be effectively managed.
  • Proposed methods to improve patient selection for endoscopy.
  • Strategies to enhance the diagnostic yield of procedures performed.

Conclusions:

  • Implementing demand-limiting strategies is crucial for managing healthcare resources.
  • Careful patient selection can maintain or improve diagnostic accuracy.
  • Optimizing fibreoptic endoscopy use ensures timely and effective patient care.
