Risk factors for small-intestinal mucosal breaks beyond aspirin.

Background And Aim: There remains lots of unknowns for small intestinal mucosal breaks (SIMBs). The application of magnetic controlled capsule endoscope (MCCE) may provide a better understanding of SIMBs. The aim of our study was to investigate the prevalence and characteristics of SIMBs in the general population as well as risk factors for SIMBs other than aspirin.
