description Dye-based chromoendoscopy (DCE) with targeted biopsies is recommended for surveillance of patients with long-standing inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), but endoscopic features that predict dysplasia are not fully clarified. We here aimed at identifying predictive factors of dysplastic/neoplastic lesions in IBD patients undergoing DCE. Two-hundred-and-nineteen patients were consecutively and prospectively enrolled from October 2019 to March 2022. One-hundred-and-forty-five out of 219 patients underwent DCE, and 148 lesions were detected in 79/145 (54%) patients. Thirty-nine lesions (26%) were dysplastic and one of them contained a CRC. Among these lesions, 7 (17.9%) had Kudo pit pattern I-II and 32 (82.1%) had a neoplastic pit pattern (Kudo III-IV). Multivariate analysis showed that neoplastic lesions Kudo III-IV (OR: 5.8, 95% CI: 2.3–14.6; <i>p</i> = 0.0002), lesion’s size (OR 1.16, 95% CI: 1.06–1.26; <i>p</i> = 0.0009), and polypoid lesions according to Paris Classification (OR 7.4, 95% CI: 2.7–20.2; <i>p</i> = 0.0001) were independent predictors of dysplasia. A cut-off of lesion’s size > 7 mm was identified as the best predictor of dysplasia. Among such features, Kudo pit pattern III-IV had the highest sensitivity and specificity to predict dysplasia (79% and 80%, respectively). Lesions with all three endoscopic features had a sensitivity of 90% and specificity of 100% to predict dysplasia. In contrast, non-polypoid lesions were inversely associated with dysplasia (OR 0.13, 95% CI: 0.05–0.36; <i>p</i> = 0.0001). These findings indicate that, in IBD patients, DCE-evidenced polypoid lesions with Kudo pit pattern III-IV and size > 7 mm are frequently dysplastic.
