Original Source: Prevalence and risk factors for colonic perforation during colonoscopy in hospitalized end-stage renal disease patients on hemodialysis.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Colonic perforation is a rare complication during colonoscopy. A recent single center study reported a high incidence of colonic perforation in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients on hemodialysis (HD) who underwent colonoscopy. We sought to determine nationwide, population-based prevalence in rates of colonic perforation during colonoscopy among ESRD inpatients on HD in the US, and to assess risk factors for colonic perforation in this patient population....
