Evaluating the discrepancies between evidence-based and community standard practices in the endoscopic examination of Barrett’s esophagus: a nationwide survey in Japan
This survey highlighted several incongruities between EBM and real-world practices for BE, as well as differences between Western and Japanese approaches. Bridging these gaps will require generating more Japan-specific evidence, refining guidelines, and then promoting their dissemination to harmonize best BE practices with international standards and Japanese clinical settings.
