Pdf Summary

This document discusses the development of quality indicators for endoscopic eradication therapy (EET) in patients with Barrett's esophagus (BE). It outlines the pre-procedure, intra-procedure, and post-procedure indicators, including diagnosis confirmation, available techniques, discussion of risks, landmarks documentation, complete endoscopic resection, treatment interval, complete eradication, endoscopic surveillance recommendations, biopsies, anti-reflux regimen, and adverse event tracking. These indicators can improve care quality and patient outcomes, but further research and evaluation are needed. Physician-led initiative and clear definitions are important in driving indicator development.
