Open access endoscopy aligns with practice guidelines, with specialists demonstrating higher adherence and diagnostic yield. Further guideline refinement is recommended for enhanced clinical utility in digestive disease procedures.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Endoscopy
  • Healthcare Management

Background:

  • Open access endoscopy systems aim to maintain procedure volumes and reduce consultation costs.
  • These systems involve digestive disease specialists performing endoscopy without prior patient consultation.
  • This study evaluates the adherence of open access endoscopy indications to national guidelines and its diagnostic yield.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess if upper endoscopic procedure indications in an open access system align with national practice guidelines.
  • To determine the diagnostic yield of information relevant to patient care in open access endoscopy.
  • To compare the appropriateness and yield between specialists and non-specialists.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of procedural indications and results for 3715 upper endoscopic procedures.

  • Utilized the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy's "Appropriate Use of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy" (AUGE) guideline.
  • Data recorded in a computer database for systematic review.

    • Main Results:

    • 84% of procedures met AUGE indications; 59% yielded clinically relevant findings.
    • Specialists requested endoscopy more often for approved indications (p = .004) and achieved higher relevant findings (p < .001) than non-specialists.
    • The frequency of clinically relevant findings varied significantly among different AUGE indications (p < .001).

    Conclusions:

    • Open access endoscopy systems can adhere to established practice guidelines.
    • Specialists exhibit greater use of appropriate indications and obtain more clinically relevant information.
    • Refining and clarifying specific AUGE indications could further improve the clinical utility of the guidelines.
