Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) has been used to diagnose a wide variety of upper gastrointestinal diseases. In particular, EGD is used to screen high-risk subjects of gastric cancer. Quality control of EGD is important because the diagnostic rate is examiner-dependent. However, there is still no representative quality indicator that can be uniformly applied in EGD. There has been growing awareness of the importance of quality control in improving EGD performance. Therefore, we aimed to review the available and emerging quality indicators for diagnostic EGD.
食管胃十二指肠镜检查（EGD）已被用于诊断多种上消化道疾病。特别是，EGD被用于筛查胃癌高危人群。由于EGD的诊断率依赖于检查者，因此其质量控制很重要。然而，目前仍没有可统一应用于EGD的代表性质量指标。人们越来越意识到质量控制在提高EGD性能方面的重要性。因此，我们旨在综述现有的和新出现的诊断性EGD质量指标。
