Research priorities and preferences of UEG national society members
In total, 33 responses to the survey were received from UEG national society members - a
response rate of 73%. National societies were asked to submit up to five research priorities
in the field of digestive health, and in total, 120 research priorities were submitted. Full
details of the research priorities identified by the national societies can be found in the
Appendix. Here we present the most popular research areas identified for prioritisation by
the societies, broken down by research domain, major topic and disease category.
Figure 1 shows how the 120 research priorities were categorised by the societies according
to the research domain. Research to assess the burden and determinants of diseases made
up 23% of the 120 research priorities, whereas 77% of the priorities were categorised as
research to either develop new capacities or improve the performance of existing capacities
to reduce the burden of disease.
