Endoscopic Complications: Results of the 1974 American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Survey
Abstract
Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (211,410 examinations) had a complication rate of 1.3/1,000 cases. Duodenoscopy with cannulation was performed 3,884 times and had a complication rate of 21.6/1,000 examinations. Diagnostic coloscopy (25,298 examinations) had a complication rate of 3.4/1,000. Polypectomies during coloscopy (6,124 cases) had a complication rate of 23.3/1,000 cases. Esophageal dilations (13,139 cases) had a complication rate of 4.25 with mercury bougies, and in 9,431 cases metal olives produced a complication rate of 6.1/1,000 treatments. Dilation for achalasia in 1,224 patients produced a complication rate of 18.4/1,000 procedures. Peritoneoscopy (4,404 examinations) produced a complication rate of 5.4/1,000 patients. The value of these diagnostic and therapeutic procedures is now well established but must be weighed against a potential risk of complications. (JAMA235:928-930, 1976)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
