Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of adding upper endoscopy to colonoscopy for patients with a positive fecal immunochemical test, particularly in detecting upper digestive lesions.
- Data was analyzed from 100 patients who had both procedures, revealing a 58% incidence of upper digestive lesions, including infections and precancerous conditions.
- Findings from the upper endoscopy influenced patient management in 44% of cases, suggesting it may be beneficial for screening, but further research is needed to confirm efficacy and cost-effectiveness.
Objectives: To evaluate radiological diagnosis concordance between a simplified and a multiphasic computed tomography (MCT) protocol for patients presenting acute non-traumatic abdominal pains (ANTAE).
Methods: During five consecutive months, all patients admitted in an emergency department for ANTAE were retrospectively included if they underwent MCT, including at least pre-contrast phase, late arterial phase (LAP), and portal venous phase (PVP). Clinical cases of suspected hemorrhagic conditions were secondarily excluded.
