ConclusionsOlder patients who ingested bones or jujube pits with more pressure points exerted on the digestive tract wall more than 24  h earlier should be considered most at risk of major complications after endoscopic removal of foreign bodies. The nomogram established in this study can be conveniently used to assess patients and develop treatment plans for the management of foreign body ingestion.
