Effect of Domperidone on Completion Rate of Vedio Capsule Endoscopy
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Video capsule endoscopy (VCE) has become an established technique to investigate the presence of small bowel pathology. But the limited battery life of capsules can lead to incomplete small bowel visualization. There is a rationale to use prokinetic agents prior to VCE reduce the chances of an incomplete small bowel examination via decrease gastric transit time (GTT). Investigators are aimed to prospectively compare the completion rate of VCE in pediatric patients receiving prokinetic with those receiving no prokinetic.

Detailed Description
Eligible children were randomly divided into two groups: domperidone prior to VCE and water prior to VCE. The primary outcome measure was the completion rate. Secondary outcome measures included the GTT and SBTT.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Completion rate of capsule endoscopy [assessed through study completion, an average of 1 year]
CE was considered complete when the cecum was reached within recording time.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Gastric transit time (GTT) [assessed through study completion, an average of 1 year]
The GTT was defined as the time, in minutes, from the first image of the stomach until the first image of the duodenum.
- small bowel transit time (SBTT) [assessed through study completion, an average of 1 year]
The SBTT was defined as the passage time, in minutes, from the first image of the duodenum until the first image of the cecum.
