AIM:TO investigate whether the small bowel transit time (SBTT) influences the diagnostic yield of capsule endoscopy (CE).METHODS:Six hundred and ninety-one consecutive CE procedures collected in a database were analyzed.SBTT and CE findings were recorded.A running mean for the SBTT was calculated and correlated to the diagnostic yield with a Spearman's correlation test.Subgroup analyses were performed for the various indications for the procedure.RESULTS:There was a positive correlation between the diagnostic yield and SBTT (Spearman's rho 0.58,P ＜ 0.01).Positive correlations between diagnostic yield and SBlT were found for the indication obscure gastrointestinal bleeding (r =0.54,P ＜ 0.01),for polyposis and carcinoid combined (r =0.56,P ＜ 0.01) and for the other indications (r =0.90,P ＜0.01),but not for suspected Crohn's disease (r =-0.40).CONCLUSION:The diagnostic yield in small bowel capsule endoscopy is positively correlated with the small bowel transit time.This is true for all indications except for suspected Crohn's disease.
