Madhav Desai et al. Post-endoscopy Barrett’s neoplasia after a negative index endoscopy:
a systematic review and proposal for definitions and performance measures in endoscopy
This systematic review demonstrates that neoplasia detected at or within 6 months
of index endoscopy accounts for most cases of Barrett’s neoplasia (> 90 %), while
post-endoscopy Barrett’s neoplasia accounts for ~3 % of cases. It is therefore important
to implement measures to establish standards of endoscopy for Barrett's esophagus-related
neoplasia and establish a performance index for endoscopists.
