Diagnostic and Therapeutic Efficacy and Safety of Enteroscopy in Pediatric Patients

Diagnostic and Therapeutic Efficacy and Safety of Single- and Double-balloon Enteroscopy in Pediatric Patients: An Inverse Probability of Treatment-weighted Cohort Study

NCT07410026•Shandong University

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

The aim of our study was to compare the utility and safety of SBE and DBE in pediatric patients.

Detailed Description

The benefit of balloon-assisted enteroscopy (BAE) had been recently documented in pediatric patients, but no study has compared the use of single-balloon enteroscopy (SBE) and double-balloon enteroscopy (DBE) in pediatric patients to date. The aim of our study was to compare the utility and safety of SBE and DBE in pediatric patients. This retrospective study enrolled patients younger than 18 years between January 2015 and May 2024. Inverse probability of treatment-weighted (IPTW) adjustment was used to address the imbalance in variables. The outcomes included diagnostic yield, positive rate, complete enteroscopy, therapeutic yield, procedure times and complications.
