The role of patient experience in quality assessment of endoscopy in IBD has yet to be defined. We undertook an observational study based on analysis of a large multi-center dataset with national coverage in Ireland. The aim was to analyze individual and composite metrics that reflect patients\u2019 experience with endoscopic procedures for IBD.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Anonymized data were extracted from electronic procedure records of patients who underwent colonoscopy in 24 Irish hospitals.

Crohn\u2019s disease (CD) patients had a significantly lower odds ratio (OR) of achieving PICI compared to non-IBD patients (0.69, 0.65-0.74, P\u2009&amp;lt;\u2009.001). Severe colitis was also associated with a significantly lower OR of achieving PICI (OR 0.53, 0.38-0.74, P\u2009&amp;lt;\u2009.001). In total, 80.2% of CD patients had a comfort score\u2009\u22642 compared to 87.8% of those with ulcerative colitis (UC) and 84.2% without IBD. Additionally, 60.7% of patients with CD required a midazolam dose of 3\u2009mg or more compared to 50.4% of those with UC and 76.7% of those without IBD. In total, 50% of CD patients required fentanyl doses &amp;gt;50 \u00b5g compared to 34% of UC patients and 30.3% of patients without IBD.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n
