Delphi of Delphi: validation of small bowel capsule terminology

Aims Consistent terminology is essential for reporting reproducible and internationally uniform endoscopic findings. To date, internationally consistent nomenclatures and descriptions for vascular AND inflammatory small bowel (SB) lesions and villous atrophy have been developed among experts. However, uniform terminology has yet to be adopted by all videocapsule (VCE) readers in daily clinical practice. In this study, we challenged already published Delphi statements in a broad group of VCE readers.
