Administration of erythromycin before endoscopy in upper gastrointestinal bleeding: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials

Erythromycin has been hypothesized to aid in visualization and reduce the need for second-look endoscopy in upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) We performed a meta-analysis comparing the efficacy of erythromycin infusion before endoscopes in acute UGIB.

Gastrointestinal endoscopy nurse assistance during colonoscopy and polyp detection: A PRISMA-compliant meta-analysis of randomized control trials The Comparison of Etomidate and Propofol Anesthesia in Patients Undergoing Gastrointestinal Endoscopy: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Etomidate and propofol played an important role in the sedation of patients undergoing gastrointestinal endoscopy. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to compare their efficacy and safety.

Gastrointestinal endoscopy nurse assistance during colonoscopy and polyp detection: A PRISMA-compliant meta-analysis of randomized control trials

Nursing assistance during colonoscopy can help improve the rate of detection of polyps and adenomas. A total of 2268 patients from 4 RCTs were included in this meta-analysis.

Comparison of endoscopic ultrasonography and magnifying endoscopy for assessment of the invasion depth of shallow gastrointestinal neoplasms: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Findings: Both EUS and ME provide a comparable performance for judging the depth of invasion of gastrointestinal neoplasms. However, there is heterogeneity between studies contributed by non-threshold effects.
