Introduction
PATHOLOGY
Small-bowel capsule endoscopy (SBCE) is a non-invasive procedure, introduced in clinical practice in 2001, that has undeniably revolutionized the diagnosis and management of small-bowel pathology.Approaches aimed at overcoming delayed capsule gastric emptying to improve visualization and completion of SBCE examination to date include the development of an adaptable frame rate,Remarkably, PGTT on SBCE has not very often been discussed in the literature and most of the studies focused on predictors for incomplete SBCE examinations and not specifically for PGTT. However, it is important before SBCE examination to identify factors that may lead to PGTT of the capsule to reduce incomplete examinations and improve the cost-effectiveness of the procedure.The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence and identify risk factors for PGTT and to assess its impact on the rate of incomplete examinations.
