| Abstract | BACKGROUND: Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is a frequently encountered condition in clinical practice. After conventional endoscopy, the cause of anemia remains unknown in up to 40% of patients. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate prospectively the diagnostic efficacy of a systematic endoscopic approach to IDA and to compare the diagnostic yield of videocapsule endoscopy (VCE) and CT-enteroclysis in endoscopy-negative patients. DESIGN: Consecutive patients with IDA were enrolled prospectively. SETTING: Open-access endoscopy within an academic hospital. PATIENTS: This study involved 189 patients with IDA, including 98 women and 91 men; mean (±standard deviation) age 68 years±16.6 years. INTERVENTION: Patients with IDA underwent gastroscopy and colonoscopy plus ileoscopy. Endoscopy-negative patients were further blindly evaluated by both CT-enteroclysis and VCE. MAIN OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS: Diagnostic yield of conventional endoscopy; diagnostic yield of VCE versus CT-enteroclysis. RESULTS: Endoscopy results were positive in 144 of 189 patients (76.2%). CT-enteroclysis and VCE allowed a diagnosis in 37 of 45 endoscopy-negative patients (82.2%). Overall, VCE was superior to CT-enteroclysis (77.8% vs 22.2%; P<.001), in particular when flat lesions were found. LIMITATIONS: Single-center study. CONCLUSION: A systematic approach to IDA, which includes standard endoscopy, VCE, and CT-enteroclysis allows an overall diagnostic rate of 95.7%; however, CT-enteroclysis should be limited to cases of nondiagnostic VCE. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
