| Core Tip |
Patients with negative findings in oesopha¬gogastroduodenoscopy and colonoscopy with suspected obscure gastrointestinal-bleeding benefit from further capsule endoscopy (CE) study. Premenopausal women are frequently referred for CE. However in this subset of patients the pretest probability of positive findings is thought to be low. This paper compared the diagnostic yield (DY) as well as therapeutic yield (TY), rebleeding, hospitalization and mortality between premenopausal and menopausal women. We found that menopause status was significantly associated with positive findings, DY, TY, rebleeding and lower time to rebleed. This may lead to consider the exclusion of other comorbid pathologies in fertile age women before CE. |
