Clinical application of capsule sponge testing in symptomatic reflux disease: a national prospective cohort study
Capsule sponge testing is effectively at identifying the 30% of symptomatic reflux patients requiring further investigation with UGI endoscopy and aiding the diagnosis of Barrett's oesophagus in clinical practice. Judicious follow-up of the discharged group will be critical to validate the ongoing use of capsule sponge testing long-term.
