The role of endoscopy in the management of suspected small-bowel bleeding
This is one of a series of statements discussing the use of
GI endoscopy in common clinical situations. The Standards
of Practice Committee of the American Society for
Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE) prepared this text. In
preparing this guideline, a search of the medical literature
was conducted by using PubMed. Additional references
were obtained from a search of Web of Science,
SCOPUS, and the bibliographies of the identified articles
and from recommendations of expert consultants. Guidelines
for appropriate use of endoscopy are based on a
critical review of the available data and expert consensus
at the time the guidelines were drafted. Further controlled
clinical studies may be needed to clarify aspects of this
guideline. This guideline may be revised as necessary to
account for changes in technology, new data, or other aspects
of clinical practice. The recommendations are
based on reviewed studies and are graded on the strength
of the supporting evidence (Table 1).1 The strength of
individual recommendations is based on both the
aggregate evidence quality and an assessment of
the anticipated benefits and harms. Weaker
recommendations are indicated by phrases such as “we
suggest,” whereas stronger recommendations are
typically stated as “we recommend.”
