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 how long children should fast (not eat or drink) before having an endoscopy—a camera procedure to look inside the stomach. Researchers will check how much food or fluid remains in the stomach and whether fasting guidelines work well for children.
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 planning an endoscopy procedure affect how long people stay in the hospital and whether they return within 30 days. It may help hospitals schedule endoscopy care more smoothly.
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 tests if better communication and ward rounds can reduce anxiety before a GI endoscopy procedure. It aims to help patients feel more relaxed before treatment.
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.
