The objective of this study is to determine whether early video capsule endoscopy (VCE) immediately after a negative gastroscopy in the setting of suspected upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) improves patient outcomes as compared to the standard approach which typically involves performing colonoscopy prior to small bowel investigations. We aim to examine the differences in diagnostic yield, total number of procedures, length of hospitalization, mortality rates, and healthcare cost between the two groups.
