In recent years, the indications for diagnostic colonoscopy have gradually increased [1], sometimes lengthening appointment times and sometimes delaying necessary examinations. This highlights the need to rationalize prescriptions, taking into account the benefit/risk ratio. The EPAGE II criteria (European Panel on the Appropriateness of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy) [14] are used to assess the relevance of these indications.
The aim of our study is to evaluate real life application of these criteria in clinical and hospital settings, and to investigate a possible correlation between the relevance of the examination and the endoscopic result.
