Core Tip	We investigated the association between small bowel diseases (SBDs) and a positive fecal occult blood test (FOBT) in patients with obscure gastrointestinal bleeding (OGIB). Positive FOBT may be useful for predicting SBDs in patients with occult OGIB. Positive FOBT indicates higher likelihood of ulcers or tumors in patients with occult OGIB. Undergoing capsule endoscopy within a day after FOBT achieved a higher diagnostic yield for patients with occult OGIB.
