More complications were reported by patients 30 days after outpatient upper endoscopy than were discussed at our monthly morbidity and mortality conferences. The most frequent complications reported by patients were sore throat and abdominal pain. The minority of ER/physician visits and hospitalizations were discussed at our morbidity and mortality conferences.

This figure demonstrates how patients were included and excluded in the 2-year cohort.Patients were included if they had any of the following: 1 inpatient claim with a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes, 1 prescription fill for diabetes medication, or 2 outpatient claims with a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes within 180 days. Only patients with an index diagnosis prior to October 1, 2013 were included to allow for 2 years of follow-up.
