Magnetically guided capsule endoscopy (MGCE) offers a noninvasive method of evaluating both the gastric cavity and small intestine; however, few studies have evaluated MGCE in pediatric patients. We investigated the diagnostic efficacy of MGCE in pediatric patients with abdominal pain.
We enrolled 48 patients with abdominal pain aged 6-18 years. All patients underwent MGCE to evaluate the gastric cavity and small intestine.
The cleanliness of the gastric cardia, fundus, body, angle, antrum, and pylorus was assessed satisfactorily in 100%, 85.4%, 89.6%, 100%, 97.9%, and 100% of patients, respectively. The subjective percentage visualization of the gastric cardia, fundus, body, angle, antrum, and pylorus was 84.8%, 83.8%, 88.5%, 87.7%, 95.2%, and 99.6%, respectively. Eighteen (37.5%) patients had 19 gastrointestinal tract lesions: one esophageal, three in the gastric cavity, and 15 in the small intestine. No adverse events occurred during follow-up.
MGCE is safe, convenient, and tolerable for evaluating the gastric cavity and small intestine in pediatric patients. MGCE can effectively diagnose pediatric patients with abdominal pain.
磁控胶囊内镜(MGCE)为评估胃腔和小肠提供了一种非侵入性方法;然而,很少有研究评估MGCE在儿科患者中的应用。我们调查了MGCE在儿科腹痛患者中的诊断效果。
我们纳入了48例6至18岁的腹痛患者。所有患者均接受MGCE以评估胃腔和小肠。
胃贲门、胃底、胃体、胃角、胃窦和幽门的清洁度评估满意度分别为100%、85.4%、89.6%、100%、97.9%和100%。胃贲门、胃底、胃体、胃角、胃窦和幽门的主观可视化百分比分别为84.8%、83.8%、88.5%、87.7%、95.2%和99.6%。18例(37.5%)患者有19处胃肠道病变:1例食管病变、3例胃腔病变和15例小肠病变。随访期间未发生不良事件。
MGCE对于评估儿科患者的胃腔和小肠是安全、方便且可耐受的。MGCE能够有效诊断儿科腹痛患者。
