NCT04342637

Brief Summary

A questionnaire containing some critical questions about practice inside GI endoscopy units in different countries will be distributed via emails. Responses will be collected in an online platform and data will be analyzed to reveal the effect of SARS-CoV-2 pandemic on different aspects of GI endoscopy practice in the studied countries.
