Taipei, Peitou DistAges 18 years+ - NCT06810232Enrolling by invitation
Health factors and longer hospital stay after endoscopy
This study looks at how general health factors (like age and other medical conditions) might affect how long you need to stay in the hospital after a routine stomach or bowel exam called an endoscopy. The goal is to understand which patients may need extra care so hospitals can plan better.
