Abstract in brief

  • The study highlights that the risk of duodenoscope-associated infections (DAIs) in the Netherlands is significantly higher than previously thought, with at least 0.1% risk based on reported outbreaks, which is about 180 times higher than earlier estimates.
  • Despite the common perception that exogenous infections from endoscopic procedures are extremely rare (approximately 1 in 18 million), actual outbreak data from Dutch ERCP procedures suggest that infections and colonizations are more frequent, partly due to underreporting and the presence of multidrug-resistant bacteria.
  • The findings emphasize the need for increased awareness, better infection control measures, and innovative technical solutions among healthcare professionals to reduce the occurrence of DAIs and improve patient safety during endoscopic procedures.
