UGI+SB
Patients who underwent combined upper digestive tract and small intestine examination under MCE.
|
Other: UGI+SB
Patients who underwent combined upper digestive tract and small intestine examination under MCE. |
- Success rate of UGI and small-bowel examination [ Time Frame: 2 weeks ]The success rate of upper gastrointestinal tract and small-bowel examination under MCE is evaluated by the technical success rate, a composite outcome including the successful viewing of esophagus, stomach and duodenum, and complete small-bowel examination.
- Visualization of the esophagus [ Time Frame: 2 weeks ]Visualization of the esophagus indicated by the number of images captured for Z-line and how many quadrants of the Z-line were observed. Circumferential visualization of the Z-line is defined by quadrants as follows: less than 2 quadrants (< 50%) observed; at least 2 quadrants (50%-75%) observed; at least 3 quadrants (>75%) observed; and entire structure (100%) observed.
- Visualization score of the gastric mucosa [ Time Frame: 2 weeks ]Visualization score of the gastric mucosa To objectively evaluate the complete visualization of the gastric mucosa in the 6 anatomic landmarks (cardia, fundus, body, angulus, antrum, and pylorus), a 3-point grading scale was used: 1, poor (<70% of the mucosa was observed), 2, fair (70%-90% of the mucosa was observed), and 3, good (>90% of the mucosa was observed).
- Visualization of the small bowel [ Time Frame: 2 weeks ]Visualization of the small bowel was determined by the percentage of time during which the small-bowel view was clear, defined as not obscured more than 50% of the screen view. The clear-viewing percentage of the total small-bowel transit time assessed by a 4-point scale :0, less than 25%; 1, 25% to 49%; 2, 50% to 75%; and 3, greater than 75%.
- Examination time of esophagus, stomach, duodenum and small bowel [ Time Frame: 1 month ]Examination-related parameters included esophageal transit time (ETT), gastric examination time (GET), gastric transit time (GTT), pylorus transit time (PTT), small bowel transit time (SBTT). ETT is defined as the time between the first esophageal image and the first gastric image. GTT is defined as the time between the first gastric image and the first duodenal image. GET is defined as the time for examination of gastric primary anatomic landmarks twice. PTT is defined as the time between the first pyloric image and the first duodenal image. SBTT is defined as the time between the first duodenal image and the first cecal image.
- Detection rate of lesions [ Time Frame: 1 month ]The detection rate of lesions in different digestive part (esophagus, stomach, duodenum, small intestine) found by MCE.
- Adverse events during MCE procedure [ Time Frame: 1 month ]The presence of any adverse events during MCE procedure will be recorded.
