About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Antral Biopsies Obtained in Normal Esophagogastroduodenoscopy: A Retrospective Cohort Study

Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) is commonly performed in patients presenting with abdominal pain and dyspeptic symptoms, serving as a valuable diagnostic and therapeutic tool. While various methods are available for biopsy sampling when mucosal pathology is observed during EGD, the practice of obtaining biopsies from endoscopically normal mucosa remains controversial. Although there is literature suggesting that routine biopsies from the antrum and duodenum for surveillance purposes increase costs, pathological findings can sometimes be detected in areas that appear normal on mucosal examination, leading to potential changes in treatment approach if biopsies are obtained.

In this study, a retrospective evaluation of the prevalence of various pathologies detected in biopsies obtained from endoscopically normal mucosa in patients who underwent EGD was reported as normal.

Read the detailed description

Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) is a commonly used diagnostic tool in upper gastrointestinal system diseases. Its widespread use is facilitated by its minimally invasive nature, the possibility of therapeutic procedures, low complication rates, and broad applicability. Although there are numerous guidelines regarding approaches to endoscopic pathologies and diseases detected during esophagogastroduodenoscopy, the necessity of biopsy sampling from mucosal areas that are endoscopically normal remains controversial.

In this study, patients aged between 18 and 95 who underwent EGD at the Sisli Hamidiye Etfal Training and Research Hospital Surgical Endoscopy Unit between 2021 and 2023, with no pathology detected during the endoscopic examination and who underwent biopsy sampling, will be evaluated. History of upper gastrointestinal surgery, detection of the endoscopic pathology, and not having biopsy sampling will be considered as exclusion criteria. The rate of detection of histopathological findings in the obtained biopsies, severity and activity of gastritis, rate and density of Helicobacter pylori detection, and rate and extent of intestinal metaplasia will be evaluated.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • EsophagogastroduodenoscopyProcedure or surgery

    During the procedure, endoscopic examination of the upper gastrointestinal tract was made. Biopsy sampling can be made during procedure if endoscopist deemed necessary.

  • Endoscopic biopsy samplingProcedure or surgery

    The obtaining of biopsy samples for control purposes despite the absence of endoscopic pathology during esophagogastroduodenoscopy.

Model description
The biopsies obtained from patients who underwent esophagogastroduodenoscopy and were found to have normal endoscopic findings will be evaluated. The histopathological findings and their frequencies in these biopsies will be examined to assess the necessity of routine biopsy during esophagogastroduodenoscopy.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Esophagogastroduodenoscopy and Endoscopic biopsy sampling in people with Gastritis H Pylori and Gastritis Chronic, run by Sisli Hamidiye Etfal Training and Research Hospital at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Feb 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Rate of abnormal histopathologic findings (time frame: 2 week after esophagogastroduodenoscopy). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06269380, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 23 Feb 2024.
