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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- Your health status before surgery is rated as ASA I, II, III, or IV (mild to severe risk)
- You are having a gastrointestinal endoscopy (a tube with a camera to look inside your digestive tract)
- You will be under sedation (given medicine to make you sleepy) for the procedure

This study looks at whether how long children fast before an upper endoscopy (a camera look at the stomach) affects how much food or liquid is left in the stomach during the test. It uses existing medical records, so you don't need to do anything new.
This study looks at how well you recover after major or intermediate surgery on your stomach, intestines, colon, or rectum. It measures your ability to do daily activities and how many days you spend at home (instead of the hospital) in the first 30 days after surgery.
This study looks at how delays in scheduling endoscopy (camera tests inside the digestive tract) during a hospital stay affect how long you stay in the hospital and whether you need to come back within 30 days. It may help hospitals improve care and reduce repeat visits.
This study looks at why some older patients need to stay in the hospital longer after a common digestive procedure called ERCP. Researchers want to understand the factors that affect recovery time, which may help improve care for future patients.
This study looks at whether heart damage can happen after a routine scope procedure (endoscopy) in patients who are already at high risk due to other health problems. If you are scheduled for endoscopy and have conditions like heart or lung disease, this trial may help doctors learn how to better protect your heart during the procedure.
This study is building a tool to predict if a patient's stomach will empty normally before a sedated upper endoscopy (gastroscopy). It tests risk factors that help doctors plan safer procedures.
