Upper Gastrointestinal Endoscopy: Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy performed for evaluation of gastrointestinal symptoms or pathology in pediatric patients. The procedure was conducted under sedation or anesthesia according to institutional clinical practice. Endoscopic findings and endoscopically observed gastric residue were retrospectively evaluated from medical records and endoscopy reports.
Study summary
This retrospective observational study aims to evaluate the relationship between preoperative fasting duration and gastric residue in pediatric patients undergoing upper gastrointestinal endoscopy for gastrointestinal symptoms or pathology. The study will assess the associations between gastric residue, gastrointestinal symptoms, underlying gastrointestinal diseases, and endoscopic findings. Data will be retrospectively collected from hospital records, anesthesia records, and endoscopy reports to investigate whether prolonged fasting duration reliably predicts an empty stomach in pediatric gastrointestinal patients.
