Endoscopy Quality Study

Assessing the Quality of Upper Gastrointestinal Endoscopy - Factors That Affect it and Validation of a Bespoke Mucosal Visual Scale

This study seeks to establish factors that influence the view at endoscopy. To achieve this patients, who have been already booked for endoscopy, will complete a questionnaire prior to their procedure. Demographic and endoscopist factors will also be ascertained.

The view at endoscopy will then be reviewed and scored against a rating scale, which will be validated as a first phase of the study. Factors can then be sought that are associated with a good endoscopic view.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Any patient booked for routine OGD

Exclusion Criteria:

• Inpatient endoscopy
• Barretts surveillance endoscopy
