Using the results of this inquiry, four recent national guidelines were selected based on year of publication and robustness of methodology: the British Society of Gastroenterology (BSG) guidelines on the diagnosis and management of Barrett’s esophagus [5], the German Society of Gastroenterology, Digestive and Metabolic Diseases (DGVS) guideline on gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), which includes recommendations for BE [6], the Italian Society of Digestive Endoscopy (SIED) consensus meeting on the diagnosis and management of BE (see Supplementary Material 2), and the Dutch Guideline on BE funded by the Dutch Quality Fund for Medical Specialists (SKMS; http://www.mdl.nl/richtlijnen2?noCache=214;1484584659. See Supplementary Material 3, in Dutch only).
Funding Information:

N2 - Current practices for the management of Barrett's esophagus (BE) vary across Europe, as several national European guidelines exist. This Position Statement from the European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE) is an attempt to homogenize recommendations and, hence, patient management according to the best scientific evidence and other considerations (e.g. health policy). A Working Group developed consensus statements, using the existing national guidelines as a starting point and considering new evidence in the literature. The Position Statement wishes to contribute to a more cost-effective approach to the care of patients with BE by reducing the number of surveillance endoscopies for patients with a low risk of malignant progression and centralizing care in expert centers for those with high progression rates.
