What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. judgement of normal or abnormal of gastrointestinal tract

    If a lesion is detected by capsule endoscopy in gastrointestinal tract in a patient, the result will be judged as abnormal.

    Measured: 5 weeks after the examination

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. complete small-bowel examination rate

    Measured: 5 weeks after the examination

  2. diagnostic yield

    The finding that could explain the symptom and resulted in clinical impact was considered as diagnosis.Diagnostic yield of a capsule endoscopy is the proportion of patients with positive diagnosis over total patients.

    Measured: 5 weeks after the examination

  3. total recording time

    Measured: 5 weeks after the examination

  4. gastric transit time

    Measured: the comparison was completed 5 weeks after the examination

  5. small-bowel transit time

    Measured: the comparison was completed 5 weeks after the examination

  6. total number of images captured

    Measured: the comparison was completed 5 weeks after the examination
