Citation Stein E, Berger Z, Hutfless S, Shah L, Wilson LM, Haberl E, Bass EB, Clarke JO. Wireless motility capsule versus other diagnostic technologies for evaluating gastroparesis and constipation: a comparative effectiveness review. Rockville: Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ). Comparative Effectiveness Review No. 110. 2013 Authors' objectives To systematically review the evidence comparing wireless motility capsule (WMC) with other diagnostic tests used for the evaluation of gastroparesis and slow-transit constipation, in terms of diagnostic accuracy, accuracy of motility assessment, effect on treatment decisions, effect on patient-centered outcomes, harms, and effect on resource utilization. Authors' conclusions WMC is comparable in accuracy to current modalities in use for detection of slow-transit constipation and gastric emptying delay, and is therefore another viable diagnostic modality. Little data are available to determine the optimal timing of WMC for diagnostic algorithms.
