A 5-Year Statewide Analysis of Unplanned Hospital Visits for EGD, Colonoscopy, Combined EGD/Colonoscopy, and ERCP.

ABSTRACT:

Background and aims

Conventional complication rates for gastrointestinal endoscopic procedures may underestimate the broader risk represented by postprocedure unplanned hospital visits (UHVs). We aimed to characterize UHVs for procedures in Maryland and the District of Columbia from 2014 to 2018.

Methods

Data for all esophagogastroduodenoscopies (EGDs), colonoscopies, combined EGDs/colonoscopies, and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatographies (ERCPs) performed between 2014 and 2018 was provided by the Maryland Health Information Exchange (Chesapeake Regional Information System for our Patients'). Patient demographics, timing of UHV within 14 days postprocedure, distance traveled, facility site ("home" vs "away" institution), and International Classification of Diseases
