Actual (reported)This study will be a prospective, tandem-designed study to determine the proportion of clinically significant missed lesions when using a side- or oblique-viewing endoscope as compared to the standard forward-viewing endoscope. Utilizing standard endoscopy protocols in current practice at Brigham and Women's Hospital, consecutive adult patients undergoing ERCP for traditional reasons will undergo back-to-back tandem EGD and ERCP examinations. This process entails an EGD performed by an attending gastroenterologist first. Next, a second blinded attending gastroenterologist will perform ERCP immediately after index EGD. Both endoscopists will note any clinically significant findings, independent of the other providers procedural findings. Clinically significant findings defined as endoscopic findings that alter patient management (i.e., esophageal varices, peptic ulcer disease, hemorrhage, mass, etc.) during EGD and ERCP will be recorded. As previously stated, some institutions already routinely perform EGD with every ERCP.

This study was single center and not a multi-center. Although the knowledge of an ongoing study was present to the endoscopists, it was not possible to adjust for an endoscopist looking extra carefully with a side-viewing exam or less carefully when aware a forward viewing exam would be performed. Additionally, the study was not a randomized controlled trial. Data was collected prospectively and outcome assessors blinded, the risk of bias is markedly decreased compared to a retrospective design
