Quality assessment of endoscopic image capture and impact on decision making in a complex polyp multidisciplinary team meeting.

This article, published in the journal Endoscopy, discusses the quality of endoscopic image capture and its impact on decision making in a complex polyp multidisciplinary team (MDT) meeting. The study reviewed polyp MDT referrals over a 6-month period at a single academic center and assessed the quality of endoscopic imaging. The majority of referrals were made by interventional endoscopists, and the most common polyp location was the rectum. The study found that in 31% of cases, image quality was deemed suboptimal and negatively impacted decision making. The authors suggest that quality improvement initiatives, such as training and competency assessments, are needed to promote high-quality image capture standards. [Extracted from the article]
