Diagnostic yield of endoscopy in women under 50 with iron deficiency anemia: a retrospective cohort study from Jordan.

We included 300 women [median age 39.0 years (Interquartile range 29.0-45.0) and median Hb of 10.7 g/dL (Interquartile range: 9.3-11.6)].

The vast majority (82.7%) reported gastrointestinal symptoms.

Upper endoscopy revealed abnormalities in 79.4% of patients, most commonly gastritis (57.0%).

The prevalence of specific diagnoses was 2.0% for celiac disease, 1.7% for inflammatory bowel disease, and 1.3% for colorectal cancer.
