This technique appears to be superior to other techniques for the detection of suspected lesi...
متن کاملRebleeding rate after interventional therapy directed by capsule endoscopy in patients with obscure gastrointestinal bleeding
BACKGROUND The precise role of capsule endoscopy in the diagnostic algorithm of obscure gastrointestinal bleeding has yet to be determined. Despite the higher diagnostic yield of capsule endoscopy, the actual impact on clinical outcome remains poorly defined. The aim of this study was to evaluate the follow-up results of patients with obscure gastrointestinal bleeding to determine which managem...
متن کاملLong-term outcome in patients with obscure gastrointestinal bleeding after capsule endoscopy.
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to identify the risk factors associated with rebleeding and long-term outcomes after capsule endoscopy (CE) for obscure gastrointestinal bleeding (OGIB) in a follow-up study. METHODS Data of consecutive patients who underwent CE due to OGIB from June 2002 to January 2012 were retrospectively reviewed. The Cox proportional hazard model was used to evaluate the risk f...
