Of respondents, 45\u200a% had undergone formal SBCE training. Among SBCE procedures, 91\u200a% were performed with an ESGE recommended indication, obscure gastrointestinal bleeding (OGIB), iron-deficiency anemia (IDA), and suspected\/established Crohn\u2019s disease being the commonest and with higher rates of positive findings (49.4\u200a%, 38.2\u200a% and 53.5\u200a%, respectively). A watchful waiting strategy after a negative SBCE for OGIB or IDA was preferred by 46.7\u200a% and 70.3\u200a%, respectively. SBCE was a second-line exam for evaluation of extent of new Crohn\u2019s disease for 62.2\u200a% of respondents. Endoscopists adhered to varying extents to ESGE technical recommendations regarding bowel preparation (\u200a&gt;\u200a60\u200a%), use in those with pacemaker holders (62.5\u200a%), patency capsule use (51.2\u200a%), and use of a validated scale for bowel preparation assessment (13.3\u200a%). Of the respondents, 67\u200a% read and interpreted the exams themselves and 84\u200a% classified exams findings as relevant or irrelevant. Two thirds anticipated future increase in SBCE demand. Inability to obtain tissue (78.3\u200a%) and high cost (68.1\u200a%) were regarded as the main limitations, and implementation of artificial intelligence as the top development priority (56.2\u200a%).<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Conclusions\u2002To some extent, endoscopists follow ESGE guidelines on using SBCE in clinical practice.
