Search results were manually reviewed and included in the study if they examined findings of EGD done prior to bariatric surgery and were excluded if they were not primarily done in pediatric or adolescent patients. Our search yielded 549 distinct articles, with a total of four articles remaining after applying inclusion and exclusion criteria. All four studies were retrospective.

There were a total of 60 findings that changed medical management, and one that changed surgical management. A high proportion of positive EGD findings that changed medical management was evident, and one study suggested that mucosal inflammation may be a prognostic indicator for postoperative weight loss.
