Plain language summary

Dysplasia surveillance practice varies widely among high-volume inflammatory bowel disease providers. We surveyed high-volume inflammatory bowel disease providers about practice patterns to detect dysplasia. Regular use of dye-based chromoendoscopy was reported by 20%, virtual chromoendoscopy by 27%, and random biopsies by 58%.
