This is one of a series of statements discussing the utilization of GI endoscopy in common clinical situations. The Standards of Practice Committee of the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy prepared this text. In preparing this guideline, a MEDLINE literature search was performed, and additional references were obtained from the bibliographies of the identified articles and from recommendations of expert consultants. When little or no data exist from well-designed prospective trials, emphasis is given to results from large series and reports from recognized experts. Guidelines for appropriate utilization of endoscopy are based on a critical review of the available data and expert consensus. Further controlled clinical studies are needed to clarify aspects of this statement, and revision may be necessary as new data appear. Clinical consideration may justify a course of action at variance to these recommendations.
这是一系列讨论胃肠内镜检查在常见临床情况中应用的声明之一。美国胃肠内镜学会实践标准委员会编写了本文。在制定本指南时，进行了MEDLINE文献检索，并从已识别文章的参考文献以及专家顾问的建议中获取了其他参考文献。当来自精心设计的前瞻性试验的数据很少或没有时，重点关注大型系列研究的结果和知名专家的报告。内镜检查合理应用指南基于对现有数据的严格审查和专家共识。需要进一步的对照临床研究来阐明本声明的各个方面，并且随着新数据的出现可能需要修订。临床考虑可能证明采取与这些建议不同的行动方案是合理的。
