This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of MSDs among French digestive endoscopists and identify associated risk factors.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Methods An anonymized online questionnaire about MSD was distributed to all members of the French Society of Endoscopy (SFED) over one month.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Results A total of 485 digestive endoscopists participated in October 2024. Most respondents were male (55%), with a median age of 48 years (IQR 37\u201360). About 76.3% reported experiencing work-related joint and\/or musculoskeletal disorders leading to decreased efficiency (5.1%), job adaptation (3.8%), reduction of activity (2.4%), and work stoppage (2.1%). In multivariate analysis, practicing endoscopy for more than 20 years (OR 2.53 (95% CI 1.01\u20136.33), p = 0.046) and the number of hours of endoscopy practice per week were independently associated with WRMSDs (OR 1.10 (95% CI 1.04\u20131.18), p = 0.002). Performing more than 16.5 hours of endoscopy per week increased WRMSD risk (sensitivity 35%, specificity 83%). Conversely, practicing sports at least three times per week and adjusting the endoscopy schedule were associated with a lower risk.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Conclusion WRMSDs are frequent and impactful among French endoscopists. Targeted preventive strategies are urgently needed to protect practitioners\u2019 health and maintain care quality.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/a-2895-3265","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,15]],"date-time":"2026-06-15T23:00:41Z","timestamp":1781564441000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"special_numbering":"S","title":["Evaluation
