Mobile health technology in pediatric EGD quality indicators assessment: results from a national program of the Italian Society of Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition
Background and Aims
Upper endoscopy (UE) procedures (EGD and ERCP) are an established standard of care in pediatric gastroenterology. The Pediatric Endoscopy Quality Improvement Network (PEnQuIN) recently published its pediatric-specific endoscopy quality guidelines. This study, initiated by the Italian Society of Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition, aims to evaluate the adherence of Italian pediatric endoscopy centers (PECs) to these established quality standards.
Methods
Conducted between April 2019 and March 2021, this nationwide study used a smartphone–based app approach. Data encompassing pediatric endoscopy facilities, patient profiles, endoscopy indications, 17 procedure-related PEnQuIN indicators, and a patient satisfaction questionnaire (Group Health Association of America-9) were systematically collected.
Results
A comprehensive analysis of 3582 procedures from 24 centers revealed that 2654 (76%) were UEs. The majority of centers (75%) involved >1 operator, with 9 centers incorporating adult endoscopists, responsible for 5% of UEs. Overall, adherence to quality standards was good; however, areas of improvement include suboptimal reporting of sedation details, adherence to disease-specific guidelines, and patient satisfaction questionnaire completeness (56%). The adverse event rate aligned with literature standards (1%), and patient satisfaction was generally high. A noteworthy observation was a 30% decreased monthly reporting rate and a shift in disease-specific patterns after the COVID-19 outbreak.
Conclusions
Pediatric UE practices in Italy adhere well to established quality standards. Emphasizing the adoption of disease-specific guidelines is crucial for optimizing resources, enhancing diagnostic accuracy, and minimizing unnecessary procedures. Prioritizing patient satisfaction is important for immediate enhancements in practice as well as for future research endeavors.
