¹Variables with P < 0.05 are significant. Variables with P < 0.125 entered in the multivariate analysis (logistic regression): (χ² test). Likelihood ratio: 22.1037; P = 0.0002. The younger age (< 65 yr) and the onset of bleeding such as melena are an independent risk factor of rebleeding after negative capsule endoscopy (CE). M/F: Male/female.
