Summary

This study looks at 110 children who had an upper GI endoscopy to check for stomach or gut problems. Researchers want to see if longer fasting before the procedure actually leads to an emptier stomach. By reviewing medical records, they hope to find out if current fasting guidelines are right or if they can be improved to make the experience easier for children.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to better, more personalized fasting guidelines for children before endoscopy, reducing discomfort while keeping them safe.
What could go wrong
This is a small, retrospective study that only looks at past records. It cannot prove cause and effect, and results may not apply to all children or hospitals.

Who is studied

Pediatric patients undergoing upper gastrointestinal endoscopy for evaluation of gastrointestinal symptoms or suspected gastrointestinal pathology at a single tertiary care center will be included in this retrospective observational study. The study population will consist of patients evaluated between January 2025 and April 2026. Data will be retrospectively obtained from hospital information systems, anesthesia records, electronic medical records, and endoscopy reports. The study will evaluate demographic characteristics, gastrointestinal symptoms, preoperative fasting duration, endoscopic findings, underlying gastrointestinal diseases, medication use, and endoscopically observed gastric residue.
