Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
1.To identify whether pre-procedural starvation time for clear liquids up to 2 hours affects the visibility of Upper GI findings.Timepoint: 18 months	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
1.To identify whether pre-procedural starvation time for clear liquids up to 2 hours increases the risk of aspiration. Timepoint: 18 months;2.To relate the inspection time of Upper GI endoscopy in detection of the underlying pathology. Timepoint: 18 months; 3.To identify whether pre-procedural starvation time for clear liquids up to 2 hours increases the discomfort in the patients. Timepoint: 18 months	—
