“…To our knowledge, this study is the first to evaluate yield for EGD and colonoscopy in patients who have ACD without GI symptoms and examine variables that may increase endoscopic yield in these patients. Prior studies reported endoscopic yields ranging from 8% to 41% for EGD and 6% to 37% for colonoscopy [12][13][14][15][16][17]20]. Our study found endoscopic yield to be above this range for EGD (50%) and at the low end of the range for colonoscopy (11%).…”
