Background/Aims: This study aimed to study the endoscopic yield, appropriateness, and complications of pediatric endoscopyperformed by adult gastroenterologists in an adult endoscopic suite. Methods: This a retrospective study in which records of all the patients less than 18 years of age who underwent endoscopy in the last5 years were studied. The indications of endoscopy in children were categorized as appropriate or inappropriate per the latest guidelinesby American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy and North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology andNutrition. Positive endoscopic yield was defined as the presence of any abnormality on endoscopy. Results: Among the total of 822 children (age <18 years), the most common indications were variceal surveillance/eradication in 157(19.1%), followed by dyspepsia in 143 (17.4%), upper gastrointestinal (UGI) bleeding in 136 (16.5%), recurrent abdominal pain in 94(11.4%), unexplained anemia in 74 (9%), recurrent vomiting in 50 (6.08%), chronic refractory gastroesophageal reflux disease in 34 (4.1%)and others; 780 out of 822 endoscopic procedures (94.9%) done in children were appropriate as per the guidelines. The endoscopicyield was 45.8%, highest in patients with UGI bleeding (71.3%), followed by variceal surveillance (54.8%), recurrent vomiting (38%),dyspepsia (37.8%), and recurrent abdominal pain (36%). Minor adverse events occurred in 7.3% of children. Conclusions: Pediatric endoscopy performed by an experienced adult gastroenterologist may be acceptable if done in cooperation witha pediatrician.
