简要总结
A prospective single blinded, tandem study, comparing a magnetically controlled capsule with or without a tether (MCC or MCC-T) with conventional upper endoscopy for the diagnosis of patients with upper abdominal symptoms.
详细描述
In the US patients commonly undergo esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) for upper abdominal symptoms to try to resolve whether they have gastroesophageal reflux disease or functional dyspepsia, if they are older than the age of 60 with symptoms, or have alarm symptoms such as unexplained weight loss, persistent nausea and vomiting or if they have symptoms that are refractory to acid suppression therapy. Given the increasing burden of digestive disease in the US, the use of EGD is increasing in volume nationwide. EGD usually requires either conscious sedation or monitored anesthesia sedation, which has put an additional cost burden on the healthcare system. Since MCC or MCC-T does not require sedation, it offers an attractive option for both patients and clinicians alike.
The aim of this study is to compare in the same patient the accuracy of the MCC and MCC-T and EGD in patients presenting with upper abdominal symptoms.
