:   The European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE) identified the need to benchmark the quality of small bowel capsule endoscopy (SBCE) and produced a set of performance measures (PM). The aim of this study is to critically evaluate the accordance of the PM for SBCE in two Portuguese centers with different SBCE platforms.   Methods:   The authors conducted a cross-sectional analysis of consecutive SBCE performed in an 18-month period in 2 Portuguese centers that used two different SBCE platforms Mirocam® (IntroMedic, Seoul, South Korea) and PillCam® (Medtronic, Yokneam, Israel). A total of 10 PM (6 key, 4 minor) were evaluated and compared between the 2 centers.   Results:   A total of 493 SBCE were included. The minimum standard established by ESGE was reached in 3/6 key PM (complete visualization, lesion detection rate, and capsule retention rate), and none of the 4 minor PM. PM compliance significantly differed between the 2 centers: complete small bowel visualization 95.9 and 90% ( p  = 0.01), diagnostic yield 50.6 and 63% ( p  = 0.005), adequate small bowel cleansing level according to Brotz scale 69.54 and 84.6% ( p  ≤ 0.001), patients with high risk of capsule retention offered a patency capsule 4.2 and 73% ( p  ≤ 0.001), respectively.   Conclusion:   This study highlights and critically discusses technical and organizational issues that should be considered in defining more realistic PM thresholds, aiming to improve SBCE quality.
