Diagnostic Value of Various Endoscopic and Gastrointestinal Examinations

In several subprojects, we aim to answer various questions, such as:

• What is the diagnostic value of gastroscopy, colonoscopy, capsule endoscopy, and double-balloon enteroscopy for different indications?
• Can we better select patients based on symptoms, psychometric data, or laboratory findings to reduce unnecessary examinations and prioritize those who need endoscopy first?
• What is the diagnostic value of other functional measurements, such as anorectal manometry, esophageal manometry and pH monitoring, liver elastography, and defecography for different indications?

Both Michiel van Nieuwenhoven and Nils Nyhlin are members of the recently established research network Colonoscopy Research Sweden (CRS). CRS brings together researchers in Sweden focusing on colorectal endoscopy, with the primary aim of conducting and supporting clinical research in colorectal endoscopy.
