Résumé
Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) appropriateness in Open-Access System (OAS) is a relevant issue. The Gastropack Access System (GAS) is a new system to access gastroenterological services, based on the partnership between Gastroenterologists and GPs. This study aims to evaluate if GAS is superior to OAS in terms of EGDS appropriateness. Secondarily, we evaluated the diagnostic yield of EGDS according to ASGE guidelines. The GAS was developed in an area of Bologna where General Practitioners (GPs) could decide to directly prescribe EGDS through OAS or referring to GAS, where EGDS can be scheduled after contact between GPs and specialists sharing a patient's clinical information. Between 2016 and 2019, 2179 cases (M:F = 861:1318, median age 61, IQR 47.72) were referred to GAS and 1467 patients (65%) had a prescription for EGDS; conversely, 874 EGDS were prescribed through OAS (M:F = 383:491; median age 58 yrs, IQR 45.68). Indication was appropriate in 92% in GAS (1312/1424) versus 71% in OAS (618/874),
