Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) increases colorectal cancer risk. To mitigate this patients undergo endoscopic surveillance to detect dysplasia. However, chronic inflammation alters mucosal and vascular colonic architecture, complicating lesion recognition. Endoscopic advances enhance our ability to accurately characterise these lesions. But training on optical diagnosis of dysplastic lesions in IBD is not widely available. We aim to fill this gap by developing and validating the new OPTIC-IBD online training platform (Figure 1, NCT04924543, funding GutsUK TRN2019-03).

We designed an interactive, self-directed, multi-modality learning module. This includes surveillance principles, optical diagnosis methods, characterisation approach, classifications (SCENIC, Kudo, FACILE¹), examples and self-assessments. We invited …
