| Core Tip |
To evaluate the effects of insertion route for unsedated surveillance esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD), this retrospective study included 1971 consecutive patients who visited a single institute for annual health checkups. EGD-associated discomfort was assessed using a visual analog scale (VAS). Statistical analysis using VAS revealed that the VAS score decreased with age regardless of gender and insertion route, was high in females regardless of age and insertion route, and was low in males aged over 60 years who underwent transoral insertion. |
