[International consensus in Paris, 2006, on the indications and use of the endoscopic videocapsule test. Report of the SFED Capsule Commission].
Following the 4th International Conference on Capsule Endoscopy (ICCE, Miami 2005), the main indications for videocapsule endoscopy (VCE) were reviewed. The consensus guidelines were published in Endoscopy in 2005. These propositions for VCE were based on an analysis of evidence reported in the literature published through 2005. A small working group of experts examined each methodology and presented their report at the plenary session. The final conclusions were then published. At the ICCE 2006 held in Paris, this first version of the consensus guidelines was improved and completed.
