Summary: Performing video capsule endoscopy within 24 hours of gastrointestinal bleeding can increase the diagnostic yield for patients with overt obscure gastrointestinal bleeding and may result in a higher rate of therapeutic intervention.

Summary: This study investigated the long-term outcomes of 461 patients with OGIB after CE, revealing that rebleeding from the small bowel was rare in the P0 group, and a history of endoscopic hemostasis and P1 CE findings were predictive of small-bowel rebleeding.

Summary: Despite negative CE and CT findings, patients with OGIB have a significant potential risk of rebleeding. While there was no significant difference in rebleeding rates between the P0 and P1 groups on CE, the P1 group has independent predictive factors.

Summary: In a real-world prospective study, small bowel capsule endoscopy (SBCE) demonstrated a high diagnostic yield in patients with obscure gastrointestinal bleeding (OGIB), detecting clinically relevant lesions in the majority of cases. SBCE was found to be valuable in determining the diagnostic work-up and clinical outcome in patients with OGIB.

Summary: Obscure gastrointestinal bleeding refers to small bowel bleeding of unknown etiology after endoscopic evaluation. It can be either overt or occult. This review discusses the differential diagnosis and the role of endoscopic and radiographic techniques in its evaluation and treatment.

Summary: This study retrospectively examined the clinical features and risk factors of obscure gastrointestinal bleeding (OGIB) in patients who underwent capsule endoscopy. The study found that the use of direct oral anticoagulants was frequently associated with OGIB, and OGIB patients without vascular lesions may be treated conservatively.

Summary: This study demonstrated that patients with positive DBE requiring therapeutic intervention had a lower rebleeding rate, and about one-fifth of patients may have false negative results after DBE.

Summary: The study revealed that early video capsule endoscopy can enhance the diagnostic rate of obscure gastrointestinal bleeding (OGIB) and reduce the risk of rebleeding after treatment, improving patient prognosis and treatment outcomes.

Summary: This study compared the performance of capsule enteroscopy and scintigraphy in the diagnosis of obscure gastrointestinal bleeding, finding significant diagnostic discrepancies between the two modalities, with capsule enteroscopy showing better correlation with hemoglobin values.

Summary: Small bowel capsule endoscopy (SBCE) is a feasible method for investigating complex gastrointestinal bleeding in patients with surgically altered gastric anatomy. This study showed that SBCE had comparable diagnostic yield, completion rate, and adverse events rate to non-operated patients.

Summary: The translation provides a definition of obscure gastrointestinal bleeding (OGIB) and introduces capsule endoscopy (CE) as an ideal procedure. It also mentions the goal of this review is to explore the impact of CE on OGIB.

Summary: Jejunoileal neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) are often multifocal and a common cause of obscure gastrointestinal bleeding (OGIB). This case report highlights the discrepancy between pre-operative imaging and capsule endoscopy in detecting multiple lesions, leading to the use of intraoperative balloon-assisted enteroscopy (BAE) for accurate diagnosis and resection of the bleeding lesions.

Summary: Patients with rebleeding in OGIB were older, had lower hemoglobin, higher blood urea nitrogen levels, higher rates of diabetes mellitus and overt bleeding, and were more likely to require blood transfusions. Drinking alcohol, anemia, and blood transfusion were identified as risk factors for rebleeding in OGIB patients.

Summary: This study retrospectively analyzed 1108 balloon-assisted enteroscopy procedures and found that overt OGIB was more frequent in unidirectional procedures, while CT was more commonly used in unidirectional procedures. Capsule endoscopy and small bowel barium study were more frequently performed in bidirectional procedures.

Summary: This study demonstrates that a trained registered nurse (RN) can accurately interpret bleeding by observing real-time capsule endoscopy (CE) findings and shows consistency with physician interpretation. Using an RN for interpretation can lead to shorter time for bleeding localization and therapy.
