Information Required to Provide Informed Consent for Endoscopy: an Observational Study of Patients’ Expectations

Abstract: The information patients require in order to provide informed consent is very variable. Many appear to make a judgement about the need for information depending on the perceived severity of the complication, but some want information about all complications, irrespective of risk and severity. The level of risk at which they require this information is likely to be higher than the level used by doctors who are obtaining consent from patients. The process may be improved by providing procedure-specific informati… Show more

“…Thus, the crucial unresolved issue is the amount of information about the complication and mortality rates of endoscopic procedures with which the endoscopist should provide the patient [6] . The results of several published surveys brought up different observations, ranging from the fact that most patients wish to be informed of a risk greater than 1: 1,000 to the fact that 19% of gastroscopy patients wanted to know all possible complications [16,17] .…”

“…This is especially true for patients participating in studies where new techniques or drugs are used, since potential complications or side effects are not known. Many problems remain unsolved regarding informed consent [10][11][12][13][14] . However, none of these problems was addressed at the 1998-2006 DDW and UEGW congresses.…”

“…Trente pour cent des patients souhaitaient connaître la totalité des risques dont l'incidence était supérieure à 1 pour 1 000. Plus récemment, Brooks et al réalisaient une étude quantitative risque par risque sur une population de 300 Britanniques devant bénéficier d'une coloscopie ou d'une gastroscopie [6]. Avant coloscopie, 43 % d'entre eux souhaitaient être informés d'au moins une complication spécifique quel que soit le niveau de risque.…”

“…De nombreux patients ont déjà entendu parler de l'examen qui va leur être proposé soit par l'intermédiaire de proches, soit par les médias, soit de plus en plus fréquemment par internet (sites de vulgarisation, Tableau 1. Complications de la coloscopie : niveau de risque (en pourcentage) à partir duquel les patients souhaitaient recevoir une information spécifique (d'après Brooks et al[6])…”
