Article Synopsis
- The study examines the effects of timing for esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) in adults with food bolus impaction, comparing results to European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE) guidelines.
- A total of 248 patients were reviewed, revealing complication rates of 31.6% for minor issues, 6.9% for tears, and 0.8% for perforations, with no significant links between delays in EGD and adverse outcomes.
- The findings suggest that age and the severity of complications are better predictors of hospital stay than the timing of EGD following ingestion or presentation.
