Study summary

Use CE for pre-examination of patients with AUGIB symptoms in emergency centers may reduce the need for emergency electronic gastroscopy and have certain advantages in clinical work. Patients with low-risk lesions can be discharged without the need for EGD and hospitalization, greatly improving the utilization of medical resources.

Read the detailed description

The investigators plan to conduct exploratory research by sequentially performing DS-MCE and EGD examinations on AUGIB patients with stable hemodynamics, using EGD as the gold standard to evaluate the sensitivity of DS-MCE in diagnosing upper gastrointestinal bleeding lesions and active bleeding.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. The sensitivity of DS-MCE in detection active bleeding and bleeding lesions, using the detection of EGD as the gold standard,

    Active bleeding is defined as the continuous flow of visible blood from damaged blood vessels under the microscope. The detection results of bleeding lesions are divided into three categories: P0 refers to lesions without possible bleeding, such as visible submucosal veins, diverticula without bleeding traces, nodules without mucosal damage traces, etc; P1 refers to low-risk bleeding lesions, such as isolated erythema, isolated small erosions, or mucosal damage; P2 refers to high-risk bleeding lesions, such as peptic ulcers (active bleeding or visible blood vessels) with persistent or rebleeding risks, erosions with a diameter of ≥ 2mm, tumors, varicose veins, etc.

    Time frame: From enrollment to the end of end of follow-up at 4 weeks

Secondary outcomes

  1. The specificity of ds MCE in detecting active bleeding and bleeding lesions using EGD as the gold standard

    Time frame: From enrollment to the end of end of follow-up at 4 weeks

  2. The number of observed signs of bleeding

    Time frame: From enrollment to the end of end of follow-up at 4 weeks

  3. Detection rate of bleeding lesions in enrolled subjects

    Time frame: From enrollment to the end of end of follow-up at 4 weeks

  4. Detection rate of lesions in enrolled subjects

    Time frame: From enrollment to the end of end of follow-up at 4 weeks

  5. The time from the admission of subjects to the detection of bleeding lesions

    Time frame: From enrollment to the end of end of follow-up at 4 weeks

  6. Number of therapeutic interventions (endoscopy, DSA, surgery) for enrolled subjects

    Time frame: From enrollment to the end of end of follow-up at 4 weeks

  7. The time from the admission of subjects to the start of therapeutic interventions (endoscopy, DSA, surgery)

    Time frame: From enrollment to the end of end of follow-up at 4 weeks

  8. Detection rate of esophageal, gastric, and small intestinal lesions in enrolled subjects

    Time frame: From enrollment to the end of end of follow-up at 4 weeks

  9. Time of traditional electronic gastroscopy examination

    Time frame: From enrollment to the end of end of follow-up at 4 weeks

  10. Time of DS-MCE examination

    Time frame: From enrollment to the end of end of follow-up at 4 weeks

  11. Incidence of rebleeding in enrolled subjects 30 days after discharge

    Time frame: From enrollment to the end of end of follow-up at 4 weeks

  12. Rate of all-cause mortality among enrolled subjects within 30 days of discharge

    Time frame: From enrollment to the end of end of follow-up at 4 weeks

  13. Time of hospital stay for enrolled subjects

    Time frame: From enrollment to the end of end of follow-up at 4 weeks

  14. Satisfaction of enrolled subjects

    use a certain scale named satisfaction scale to measure the satisfaction of enrolled subjects (0-36), lower scores mean a better outcome.

    Time frame: From enrollment to the end of end of follow-up at 4 weeks

  15. clinical safety (Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events, Safety and Tolerability)

    use the incidence of adverse events to measure clinical safety

    Time frame: From enrollment to the end of end of follow-up at 4 weeks

  16. complication rate

    Time frame: From enrollment to the end of end of follow-up at 4 weeks
