Tolérance, et acceptabilité de l’œsogastroduodénoscopie sans sédation à l’Hôpital d’Instruction des Armées de Cotonou

162 Open Journal of Gastroenterology (2.0%) would have traveled abroad in the 2 weeks preceding the examination, 4 patients 1.4% had already been in contact with a subject at risk. The most frequent symptoms were chest pain (80 cases; 27.2%), flu-like syndrome (29 cases; 9.9%), cough (40 cases; 13.6%), fever (46 cases; 15.6%). In contrast, ageusia (7 cases; 2.4%) and anosmia (5 cases; 1.7%) were only found in very few patients. Twenty-two patients (7.5%) felt highly exposed to COVID-19 during the endoscopy examination and 144 patients (48.9%) rated the examination as satisfactory. Conclusion: Gastrointestinal symptoms initially described as rare are being reported with increasing frequency in studies and may motivate the request for endoscopy examinations. However, the risk associated with infection with SARS-CoV-2 does not seem to have been sufficiently taken into account in endoscopy centers in the 3 countries.
