The Yield of Upper Gastrointestinal Endoscopy at a Pediatric Tertiary Care Center.
CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest a general high diagnostic yield for EGD in pediatric patients, stemming mainly from patients in whom a specific condition was suspected a priori. However, the role of the procedure in the diagnosis and management of non-specific gastrointestinal complaints was minor suggesting that EGD may be superfluous for some of these patients.
