Inpatient Small Bowel Capsule Endoscopy: Not Associated With Bleeding Site Identification or 30-Day Readmission Prevention.

Background The utility of small bowel capsule endoscopy (SBCE) in the inpatient setting is controversial due to retention rates and costs. Aim This study aims to evaluate whether using SBCE significantly improved the identification of potential bleeding sites or reduced the risk of 30-day readmission for overt or occult gastrointestinal bleeding. Methods This was a single-center retrospective cohort study involving inpatients who underwent SBCE at a suburban tertiary care hospital from January 1, 2012, to January 1, 2022, for suspected small bowel bleeding.

The association of QTc prolongation with cardiovascular events in cancer patients taking tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs).
