Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 Receptor Agonists Do Not Increase Aspiration During Upper Endoscopy in Patients With Diabetes

Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP1-RA) have been associated with greater retention of gastric contents, however there have been no controlled, population-based studies performed to evaluate the potential adverse effects of GLP1-RA in the periprocedural setting. We aimed to determine if there is increased risk of aspiration and aspiration-related complications after upper endoscopy in patients using GLP1-RA.
