    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Diagnostic Endoscopy
    • Health Economics

    Background:

    • Dyspeptic symptoms often lead to upper gastrointestinal (UGI) examinations.
    • Traditional UGI X-ray examinations have limitations in accuracy and cost-effectiveness.
    • Limited-consultative diagnostic UGI endoscopic procedures offer an alternative approach.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy and cost-effectiveness of primary panendoscopy.
    • To assess the impact of primary panendoscopy on patient diagnosis and treatment.
    • To determine the economic benefits of implementing primary panendoscopy as an alternative to UGI X-ray.

    Main Methods:

    • A prospective study involving 321 patients with dyspeptic symptoms.
    • Implementation of primary panendoscopy as a diagnostic tool.

  • Comparison of diagnostic and treatment changes before and after the procedure.

    • Main Results:

    • Primary panendoscopy changed the diagnosis in 67% and treatment in 52% of patients.
    • A significant decrease in UGI X-ray examinations was observed.
    • Estimated theoretical cost savings of $117,000.00 were calculated.

    Conclusions:

    • Primary panendoscopy is an accurate and cost-effective diagnostic tool for non-critically ill patients with dyspeptic symptoms.
    • The procedure offers significant benefits and cost savings, warranting consideration by gastroenterologists.
    • It presents a valuable alternative to standard UGI X-ray examinations within healthcare cost constraints.
