No diagnostic criteria or recommended tests are mentioned in the provided abstracts.Management
Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) are associated with an increased risk of residual gastric contents 1.
GLP-1RA use was associated with premature endoscopy termination 1.Special Populations
No information is available for special populations.Key Recommendations
Clinicians should be aware that glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA) use is associated with an increased risk of residual gastric contents in patients undergoing gastrointestinal endoscopy 1. (Evidence: Moderate)
