Clinical Utility of Emergency Capsule Endoscopy for Diagnosing the Source and Nature of Ongoing Overt Obscure Gastrointestinal Bleeding

Table 4

Diagnostic concordance rate between CE and DBE for small-bowel lesions causing ongoing overt obscure gastrointestinal bleeding.

CE findings	DBE findings		Total
	Positive	Negative
Positive	57	3	60
Negative	5	62	67
Total	62	65	127

All patients underwent DBE, and the final diagnosis was compared against the CE findings. Emergency CE had a sensitivity of 92% (57/62) and specificity of 95% (62/65), with a diagnostic concordance rate of 94% (119/127) for positive findings. Abbreviations: CE, capsule endoscopy; DBE, double-balloon endoscopy.
