RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: The small bowel capsule endoscopy (SBCE) has revolutionised the study of small bowel diseases. The objective of this study is to determine the indications, findings and diagnostic yield of SBCE in a national registry. PATIENTS AND METHODS: An observational, analytical cross-sectional study was carried out, analysing the SBCE records at seven centres in the country, where different variables were collected. RESULTS: 1,883 SBCEs were evaluated. The average age was 55.4 years (5.6-94.2). The most frequent indications were suspicion of small bowel bleeding (SBB) (64.4%), study of Crohn's disease (15.2%) and chronic diarrhoea (11.2%). 54.3% were prepared with laxatives. The most frequent lesions found were erosions/ulcers (31.6%), angioectasias (25.7%) and parasitosis (2.7%). The diagnostic yield (P1+P2, Saurin classification) of SBCE in SBB was 60.6%, being higher in overt SBB (66.0%) compared to occult SBB (56.0%) (P=.003). The studies with better preparation showed higher detection of lesions (93.8% vs. 89.4%) (OR=1.8, CI: 95%: 1.2-2.6; P=.004). The SBCE complication rate was 3.1%, with complete SB visualisation at 96.6% and SB retention rate of 0.7%. 81.5% of SBCEs were performed on an outpatient basis, and presented a greater complete SB visualisation than hospital ones (97.1% vs. 94.3%) (OR=2.1, CI: 95%, 1.2-3.5; P=.008). CONCLUSIONS: The indications, findings and diagnostic performance of SBCEs in Colombia are similar to those reported in the literature, with a high percentage of complete studies and a low rate of complications.

Introducción: La videocápsula endoscópica (VCE) ha revolucionado el estudio de las patologías de intestino delgado. El objetivo de este estudio es determinar las indicaciones, hallazgos y rendimiento diagnóstico de la VCE en un registro nacional. Pacientes y métodos: Se realizó un estudio observacional, de corte transversal analítico, analizando los registros de VCE en siete centros del país, se recolectaron diferentes variables. Resultados: Se evaluaron 1.883 estudios de VCE. La edad promedio fue 55,4 años (5,6-94,2). Las indicaciones más frecuentes fueron sospecha de sangrado de intestino delgado (SID) (64,4%), estudio enfermedad de Crohn (15,2%) y diarrea crónica (11,2%). El 54,3% de VCE se prepararon con laxantes. Las lesiones más frecuentes fueron erosiones/úlceras (31,6%), angiectasias (25,7%) y parasitosis (2,7%). El rendimiento diagnóstico (P1+P2, clasificación de Saurin) de VCE en SID fue 60,6%, siendo mayor en SID evidente (66,0%) comparado con SID oculto (56,0%) (P=0,003). Los estudios con mejor preparación presentaban mayor detección de lesiones (93,8% vs. 89,4%) (OR=1,8; IC: 95%: 1,2-2,6; P=0,004). La tasa de complicación de VCE fue 3,1%, con visualización completa del ID en 96,6% y tasa de retención en ID de 0,7%. El 81,5% de VCE se realizaron en forma ambulatoria, y presentaron mayor visualización completa de ID que las hospitalarias (97,1% vs. 94,3%) (OR=2,1; IC: 95%; 1,2-3,5; P=0,008). Conclusiones: Las indicaciones, hallazgos y rendimiento diagnóstico de VCE en Colombia son similares a los reportados en la literatura universal, con alto porcentaje de estudios completos y baja tasa de complicaciones.(AU)

Problema: el reflujo gastroesofágico es un proceso fisiológico que en algunas personas puede tornarse patológico y que produce molestias y lesiones esofágicas y extraesofágicas que afectan la calidad de vida de los individuos que lo presentan. Actualmente no se cuenta con estadísticas sobre la frecuencia de esta condición en Colombia. Objetivo: cuantificar la prevalencia de síntomas de enfermedad por reflujo gastroesofágico (ERGE) en los adultos de cuatro ciudades principales de Colombia utilizando el cuestionario GERDQ, y explorar la asociación de variables sociodemográficas y antropométricas con esta enfermedad. Metodología: estudio de corte transversal de base poblacional. Se incluyeron 6842 personas, mayores de 18 años y menores de 80 años de edad, residentes en Bogotá, Cali, Medellín y Barranquilla. La muestra fue seleccionada por muestreo aleatorio estratificado. Se aplicó una encuesta telefónica que incluía el cuestionario GERDQ para la identificación de síntomas de reflujo en la última semana. Se calculó la prevalencia de reflujo por estratos teniendo en cuenta el punto de corte de la encuesta (8 o más puntos) y se realizaron comparaciones entre ellos utilizando la prueba de x2. Se exploró la asociación de variables sociodemográficas y antropométricas mediante análisis bivariados y modelos de regresión logística. Resultados: se obtuvieron 6842 encuestas. La prevalencia estimada de síntomas de reflujo en general fue del 11,98% (IC 95%: 11,05-12,97). En el análisis por ciudades, Barranquilla presentó la frecuencia más alta (16,22%; IC 95%: 14,58-18,01) y Bogotá, la más baja (10,75; IC 95%: 9,30-12,38). Para los síntomas evaluados con el cuestionario GERDQ, la prevalencia estimada fue: pirosis, 13,6% (IC 95%: 12,50-14,60); regurgitación, 16,9% (IC 95%: 15,74-17,99); epigastralgia, 16,67% (IC 95%: 15,54-17,80): náuseas, 11,4% (IC 95%: 10,46-12,35); dificultad para dormir por presentar pirosis o regurgitación, 8,17% (IC 95%: 7,36-8,97); y consumo de medicamentos adicionales a los formulados por el médico, 6,68% (IC 95%: 6,01-7,35). El sexo femenino, el vivir en Barranquilla o Medellín y el presentar una comorbilidad se asociaron estadísticamente con la presencia de reflujo. Conclusión: la prevalencia de síntomas de reflujo en cuatro ciudades capitales de Colombia, medida con el cuestionario GERDQ, de 11,98% (IC 95%: 11,05-12,97), es similar a la reportada en otros países de Latinoamérica, siendo las comorbilidades (particularmente hipertensión arterial HTA) el factor que más se asoció con esta condición en todos los estratos del estudio
Problem: Gastroesophageal reflux is a physiological process that can become pathological in some people. It can cause discomfort and esophageal and extra-esophageal injuries and can affect the quality of life of anyone affected by it. Currently there are no statistics on the frequency of this condition in Colombia. Objective: The objective of this study was to use the GerdQ questionnaire to quantify the prevalence of gastroesophageal reflux disease in adults in four major cities of Colombia and to explore the association of sociodemographic and anthropometric variables with this disease. Methodology: This was a cross-sectional population-based study of 6,842 people between the ages of 18 years and 80 in Bogotá, Cali, Medellín and Barranquilla. The sample was selected by stratified random sampling. A telephone survey was conducted that included the GERD Q questionnaire for the identification of reflux symptoms within the week prior to an interview. The prevalence of reflux by socioeconomic strata was calculated using a cut-off point of 8 or more points. Comparisons were made among strata using the χ2 test. Associations of sociodemographic and anthropometric variables were explored through bivariate analysis and logistic regression models. Results: We obtained 6,842 surveys. The overall estimated prevalence of reflux was 11.98% (95% CI = 11.05%-12.97%). The city of Barranquilla presented the highest frequency of 16.22% (95% CI = 14.58%-18.01%) while Bogotá had the lowest of 10.75% (95% CI = 9.30%-12.38%). For symptoms evaluated with GERD-Q, the estimated prevalences were: heartburn 13.6% (95% CI = 12.50% - 14.60%), regurgitation 16.9% (95% CI = 15, 74% - 17.99%), epigastralgia 16.67% (95% CI = 15.54% -17.80%), nausea 11.4% (95% CI = 10.46% - 12.35%), difficulty sleeping due to heartburn or regurgitation 8.17% (95% CI = 7.36% -8.97%) and consumption of medications additional to those formulated by the physician 6.68% (95% CI = 6, 01% - 7.35%). Women living in Barranquilla or Medellín, had statistically significant levels of comorbidities associated with reflux. Conclusion: The prevalence of reflux in four important Colombian cities measured with the GerdQ questionnaire was 11.98% (95% CI = 11.05-12.97) which is similar to prevalences reported in other Latin American countries. Comorbidities (particularly hypertension) are the factor that was most frequently associated with this condition in all strata of the study.
