Table 1 Comparison of United States and British guidelines for endoscopy in thrombocytopenic and neutropenic patients

	US guidelines	British guidelines
Thrombocytopenia and endoscopy	ASGE: Acknowledge limited data. Platelet threshold 20000/mm³ for diagnostic endoscopy; 50000/mm³ if biopsies performed	BSG: Ensure platelet support is available before endoscopic intervention when platelet count is < 50000-80000/mm³
Neutropenia and endoscopy	ASGE: Recommend considering antibiotic in immunosuppressed patients undergoing a high-risk procedure	BSG: Recommend antibiotic prophylaxis for ANC < 500/mm³ and undergoing a high risk procedure (based on risk of bacteremia in immunocompetent patients)

ASGE: American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy; BSG: British Society of Gastroenterology.
