3372 Benchmarking colonoscopy performance using a common prospective multicenter endoscopic database. - 20/03/14
Résumé |
Background: Measures of quality in endoscopy centers are demanded increasingly by patients and third party payers. Methods: Six academic medical centers (4 university, 1 VA, 1 Military) prospectively recorded demographic, clinical and endoscopic data on all colonoscopies performed over a median of 5 years. Common measures of quality were compared between centers. Results: A total of 18,913 colonoscopies were performed. Results are shown in Table 1. Conclusions: There were marked variations in practice patterns such as the method of polypectomy, but measures of quality such as complications, cecal intubation, and recovery of snared polyps were uniformly good across centers. Common endoscopic database systems allow for rapid assessment, and demonstration of quality measures. Dr. Wallace was supported by the American Digestive Health Foundation, Wilson Cook Award
