背景和研究目的：胃肠道内窥镜检查是一个快速发展的研究领域。欧洲胃肠内窥镜学会（ESGE）在整个欧洲和更远的地方形成意见和内窥镜检查活动方面发挥着关键作用。建立关键的未回答的问题，在该领域的内窥镜和优先考虑那些重要的使研究人员和资助者适当分配resources.Methods：在2年多的时间里，ESGE研究委员会收集的研究重点的信息，并通过修改后的德尔菲法完善它们。与ESGE理事会和质量改进委员会进行了磋商，以确定重要的未回答问题。在第21届欧洲联合胃肠病周期间举办了研究讲习班。研究问题由ESGE研究委员会和理事会重新填写，汇编成在线调查，并分发给所有ESGE成员，他们被邀请按优先级对每个问题进行排名。结果：最终问卷得到了来自60多个国家的291份回复。答复率最高的三个国家是西班牙、意大利和联合王国。大多数应答者来自教学医院（62%），是内镜专科医生（51%）。通过加权排名对答复进行了分析，从而对26个关键的未回答问题进行了优先排序。排名最高的一般性问题是：1）我们如何定义内镜诊断后的正确监测间隔？2)我们如何正确使用先进的内窥镜成像？3)内窥镜检查质量的最佳指标是什么？结论：在这一全面的过程之后，ESGE已经确定了胃肠道内窥镜检查领域内的关键未回答问题并进行了排名。研究人员、资助者和期刊应该优先考虑那些试图回答这些重要问题的研究。
Background and study aim: Gastrointestinal endoscopy is a rapidly evolving research field. The European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE) plays a key role in shaping opinion and endoscopy activity throughout Europe and further afield. Establishing key unanswered questions within the field of encloscopy and prioritizing those that are important enables researchers and funders to appropriately allocate resources.Methods: Over 2 years, the ESGE Research Committee gathered information on research priorities and refined them through a modified Delphi approach. Consultations were held with the ESGE Governing Board and Quality Improvement Committee to identify important unanswered questions. Research workshops were held at the 21st United European Gastroenterology Week. Research questions were refilled by the ESGE Research Committee and Governing Board, compiled into an online survey, and distributed to all ESGE members, who were invited to rank each question by priority.Results: The final questionnaire yielded 291 responses from over 60 countries. The three countries with the highest response rates were Spain, Italy, and United Kingdom. Most responders were from teaching hospitals (62%) and were specialist endoscopists (51%). Responses were analyzed with weighted rankings, resulting in prioritization of 26 key unanswered questions. The top ranked generic questions were: 1) How do we define the correct surveillance interval following endoscopic diagnosis? 2) How do we correctly utilize advanced endoscopic imaging? 3) What are the best markers of endoscopy quality?Conclusion: Following this comprehensive process, the ESGE has identified and ranked the key unanswered questions within the field of gastrointestinal endoscopy. Researchers, funders, and journals should prioritize studies that seek to answer these important questions.
