A nationwide cross-sectional study on endoscopy-related musculoskeletal injuries: the hidden occupational burden of gastroenterologists in Türkiye
ERMI is highly prevalent among gastroenterologists in Türkiye and represents a significant occupational health problem with implications on work loss. Preventive strategies such as reducing the volume of procedures, increasing the frequency of breaks, and making ergonomic adjustments in procedure rooms are necessary to reduce the risk of ERMI.
