The importance of disease prevalence in assessing the diagnostic value of a test: endoscopic markers in celiac disease.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Currently, use of the Bravo capsule is a very common method for evaluating the gastroesophageal reflux because it has the advantage of being an intraesophageal catheter-free system. However, endoscopic removal of the capsule is necessary when technical problems or severe discomfort are present. Most frequent...
