We aimed to assess the diagnostic yield, impact on management, and tolerance of unsedated EGD in hospitalized patients aged \u226575 years.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Methods We conducted a retrospective, single-center study including all inpatients aged \u226575 years who underwent EGD without general anesthesia or systemic sedation between January 2018 and December 2019. The primary endpoint was the presence of a macroscopic lesion consistent with the indication. Secondary endpoints were the contribution of EGD to diagnostic and therapeutic management and endoscopist-rated tolerance (good, intermediate, poor).<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Results Two hundred patients were included (mean age, 86.8 \u00b1 5.8 years; 53% women; 85% malnourished). A macroscopic lesion consistent with the indication was found in 44% of cases. Overall, EGD was contributory in 83.5% of patients, including 70.5% of those without macroscopic lesions, mainly through treatment changes or additional investigations. The completion rate was 83.5%. Tolerance was rated as good in 46.5%, intermediate in 17.5% and poor in 29.5%. In multivariable analysis, a lower Mini-Mental State Examination score and severe malnutrition remained associated with poor tolerance.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Conclusion In very old inpatients, unsedated EGD remains highly contributory, even when no macroscopic lesion is observed. Simple clinical factors can help anticipate tolerance and support selective, individualized decision-making regarding EGD in geriatric practice.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/a-2901-5915","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,24]],"date-time":"2026-06-24T22:57:23Z","timestamp":1782341843000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"special_numbering":"S","title":["Clinical
