Seguridad y eficacia de la c谩psula Patency
Resumen: Introducci贸n y objetivos: La c谩psula Patency es un m茅todo diagn贸stico efectivo para prevenir la retenci贸n de las c谩psulas endosc贸picas en el intestino delgado. La complicaci贸n m谩s frecuente asociada al uso de la c谩psula Patency es la retenci贸n sintom谩tica de la misma. La intenci贸n de este estudio es evaluar la efectividad y la seguridad de las c谩psulas Patency colocadas en un centro de tercer nivel. Material y m茅todos: Estudio observacional retrospectivo que incluy贸 a todos los pacientes con enfermedad de Crohn confirmada a los que se les coloc贸 la c谩psula Patency de enero de 2019 a diciembre de 2020. Se evalu贸 el rendimiento diagn贸stico, la sensibilidad, la especificidad, el valor predictivo positivo y el valor predictivo negativo comparado contra la c谩psula endosc贸pica o enteroscopia doble bal贸n. Tambi茅n se identificaron las complicaciones asociadas a la colocaci贸n de la c谩psula Patency. Resultados: Se incluyeron 30 pacientes, en los cuales la c谩psula Patency mostr贸 una sensibilidad del 83%, una especificidad del 100%, un valor predictivo positivo del 100% y un valor predictivo negativo del 96%, respectivamente, con un rendimiento diagn贸stico del 96.7%. Se present贸 una complicaci贸n (3.3%), que se resolvi贸 de forma espont谩nea. Conclusiones: La c谩psula Patency es un m茅todo seguro y efectivo para disminuir la retenci贸n de la c谩psula endosc贸pica en pacientes con enfermedad de Crohn confirmada. Abstract: Introduction and aims: The patency capsule is an effective diagnostic method for preventing video capsule retention in the small bowel during capsule endoscopy. The most frequently associated complication when using the patency capsule is symptomatic retention. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of patency capsules administered to patients at a tertiary care hospital center. Materials and methods: A retrospective observational study was conducted that included all the patients with confirmed Crohn's disease that were administered a patency capsule, within the time frame of January 2019 and December 2020. PC diagnostic yield, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value were evaluated, in relation to capsule endoscopy and double-balloon endoscopy findings. Complications associated with the patency capsule were also identified. Results: Thirty patients were included, in whom the patency capsule had 83% sensitivity, 100% specificity, 100% positive predictive value, and 96% negative predictive value, with a diagnostic yield of 96.7%. There was one complication (3.3%) and it resolved spontaneously. Conclusions: The patency capsule is a safe and effective method for reducing video capsule retention during capsule endoscopy in patients with Crohn's disease
