“…Moreover, in discriminating between medium/ large varices requiring treatment and small/absent varices requiring surveillance, the positive and negative predictive values for VCE were 87 % and 92 %, respectively, with a substantial overall agreement of 91 % (kappa 0.77) on treatment decisions based on variceal size. Two recent studies have compared the cost-effectiveness of esophageal VCE versus EGD and/or systematic prescription of prophylaxis by beta-blocking agents [82,83]. None of these studies demonstrated superiority of esophageal VCE over the other approaches.…”

These recommendations on video capsule endoscopy, an emerging technology with an impact on the practice of endoscopy, were developed by the European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE) Guidelines Committee. The first draft of each section was prepared by one or two members of the writing team, who were selected as experts on the content of that section on the basis of their published work. They used evidence-based methodology, performing MEDLINE and PubMed literature searches to identify relevant clinical studies. Abstracts from scientific meetings were included only if there was no published full paper on a particular topic. If there was disagreement, the first author of the Guideline made the final decision. Recommendations were graded according to the strength of the supporting evidence. The draft guideline was critically reviewed by all authors and submitted to the ESGE councillors for their critical review before approval of the final document. The ESGE Guidelines Committee acknowledges that this document is based on a critical review of the data available at the time of preparation and that further studies may be needed to clarify some aspects. Moreover, this Guideline may be revised as necessary to account for changes in technology, new data, or other aspects of clinical practice. This document should be regarded as supplying recommendations only to gastroenterologists in providing care to their patients. It is not a set of rules and should not be construed as establishing a legal standard of care, or as encouraging, advocating, requiring, or discouraging any particular treatment. These recommendations must be interpreted according to the clinician's knowledge, expertise, and clinical judgment in the management of individual patients and, if necessary, a course of action that varies from recommendations must be undertaken.

“…However, OCE screening was not a viable option if the cost of OGD decreased below $410. Another comparison of four different strategies has been reported recently by Stipho et al ,22 using a Markov model and adopting a third-payer’s perspective. A hypothetical cohort of 50-year-old patients with compensated cirrhosis was considered at a time horizon of 10 years.…”

“…92 % bei einer guten Übereinstimmung von 91 % (Kappa 0,77) in der Behandlungsentscheidung auf der Basis der Varizengröße. Zwei aktuelle Studien haben die Kosteneffektivität der Ösophagus-VCE gegenüber der ÖGD und / oder systematischer prophylaktischer Verschreibung von Betablockern verglichen[82,83]. Keine dieser Studien konnte eine Überlegenheit der Ösophagus-VCE über ein anderes Vorgehen nachweisen.…”
