What is being measured

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

  1. subject's discomfort

    The feeling of the subject during the examination. 1) the score of mucosal restriction observed under gastroscope 2)the score of discomfort before gastroscopy 3)the score of discomfort during gastroscopy process. The discomfort feeling indicator was obtained from subject through a VAS scale. The score of mucosal restriction was obtained from endoscopists.

    Measured: up to 1 week

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. incidence of adverse events

    number of gastroscopy procedures with adverse event divided by the number of all gastroscopy procedures
