Endoscopic scoring systems are vital for the objective assessment of disease activity being used in both clinical trials and daily clinical practice. These standardized scoring systems are essential for diagnosing, evaluating endoscopic healing, monitoring treatment response, and predicting clinical outcomes.
One of the primary challenges in implementing these scoring systems is inter-observer variability, as highlighted by significant discrepancies between scores assigned by local and central reviewers. However, the performance of these systems among experts has been shown to be excellent, suggesting that achieving consistent and accurate scoring requires a high level of exposure and proficiency.
Inconsistent scoring, especially among less experienced clinicians, poses a challenge to the reliability of these scoring systems.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the improvement of scoring accuracy after training with structured educational videos with a specific focus on the learning curve and the practical application of endoscopic scoring systems.
