Abstract

The complete and reliable documentation of endoscopic findings make up the crucial foundation for the treatment of patients with inflammatory bowel diseases such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. These findings are, on the one hand, a prerequisite for therapeutic decisions and, on the other hand, important as a tool for assessing the response to ongoing treatments. Endoscopic reports should, therefore, be recorded according to standardized criteria to ensure that the findings of different endoscopists can be adequately compared and that changes in the course of the disease can be traced back. In consideration of these necessities, fifteen members of the Imaging Working Group of the German Kompetenznetz Darmerkrankungen have created a position paper proposing a structure and specifications for the documentation of endoscopic exams. In addition to the formal report structure, the recommendations address a large number of attributes of acute and chronic inflammatory alterations as well as endoscopically detectable complications, which are explained in detail and illustrated using exemplary images. In addition, more frequently used endoscopic activity indices are presented and their use in everyday clinical practice is discussed.
