Readjustment of Capsule Endoscopy Protocols to the COVID-19 Pandemic in a Portuguese Tertiary Center

CONCLUSION: The performance measures and patient satisfaction were similar among the protocols analyzed for MiroCam capsule endoscopy. Thus, the readjustment of this capsule endoscopy system, which favors a reduction in hospital stay, appears to be a good alternative to the former protocols in this pandemic era. In contrast, the rate of complete exams was significantly inferior in the adapted protocol to the pandemic era for PillCam Crohn capsule endoscopy, disfavoring its maintenance in the clinical practice.PMID:35879914 | DOI:10.5152/tjg.2022.21574
