Video capsule endoscopy (VCE) is an effective diagnostic modality for detecting small bowel lesions. However, the value of VCE for patients with chronic recurrent abdominal pain (CAP) of unknown etiology remains obscure. We retrospectively analyzed factors that could predict enteropathy based on the medical records of 65 patients with unexplained chronic recurrent abdominal pain (CAP) who were assessed using VCE between 2001 and 2021. We also conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of the literature to validate our results. The positive findings of 27 (41.5%) of the 65 patients were mostly ulcerative lesions including stricture (n = 14, 60.9%) and erosion (n = 8, 29.7%). Multivariate analysis identified elevated ESR (OR, 1.06, 95% CI, 1.02–1.1, p = 0.004) as a significant risk factor for enteropathy predicted by VCE. Three eligible studies in the meta-analysis included 523 patients with CAP. Elevated C-reactive protein (CRP) (OR, 14.09; 95% CI, 2.81–70.60; p = 0.001) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) (OR, 14.45; 95% CI, 0.92–227.33; p = 0.06) indicated VCE-positive findings in patients with unexplained abdominal pain. Elevated levels of the inflammatory markers ESR and CRP can thus predict positive VCE findings in patients with CAP.
