Use of a Non‐Endoscopic Capsule‐Sponge Triage Test for Reflux Symptoms: Results From the <scp>NHS</scp> England Prospective Real‐World Evaluation
Capsule sponge triage is feasible, safe and acceptable. It substantially reduces the endoscopy burden for routine reflux referrals with a favourable diagnostic yield for Barrett's oesophagus. Longer term follow-up will help to confidently assess the impact of the programme and place of capsule sponge in the diagnostic pathway.
