Key Words Esophagogastroduodenoscopy; Ultrathin endoscope; Visual analog scale; Discomfort; Surveillance
Core Tip To evaluate the effects of choice of insertion route and ultrathin endoscope types for unsedated surveillance esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD), this prospective study was conducted including 882 consecutive patients who underwent annual health checkup using six types of ultrathin endoscopes in a single institute. EGD-associated discomfort was assessed using a visual analog scale (VAS) by patients themselves. Statistical analysis of VAS revealed the following two points; Transnasal insertion of ultrathin endoscopy for unsedated EGD can be preferable for younger males rather than elder females. Flexibility of ultrathin endoscopes can be a reliable predictor of reduction in transnasal EGD-associated discomfort rather than thinness of tip.
