Validation of the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy's Complexity Grading System for Endoscopic Procedures

The American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy's endoscopic complexity grading system for EGD, colonoscopy, and EUS seems to correlate reasonably well with other recognized metrics of complexity and risk. The complexity levels for ERCP may be valid, but there is poor correlation with how these procedures are valued by Medicare.

Abstract

The American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy's endoscopic complexity grading system for EGD, colonoscopy, and EUS seems to correlate reasonably well with other recognized metrics of complexity and risk. The complexity levels for ERCP may be valid, but there is poor correlation with how these procedures are valued by Medicare.
