Diagnostic yield of upper endoscopy in paediatric patients with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Subanalysis of the HUPIR registry.
According to Porto Criteria upper gastrointestinal (UGI) endoscopy is recommended in patients with suspected inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Nevertheless, previous studies revealed frequent involvement of UGI tract even in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC). The aim of the present study was to determine the diagnostic role of esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) and assess the prevalence and different aspects of UGI involvement in children registered in the Hungarian Pediatric IBD Registry (HUPIR) from 1st of January 2007 to 31th of December 2009
