English to Portuguese: Gastrointestinal Foreign Bodies General field: Medical Detailed field: Medical (general)
Source text - English GIFBs are a fairly common problem encountered by gastroenterologists. Most resolve without serious clinical sequelae. Older studies have suggested that between 1500 and 2750 deaths occurred in the United States secondary to GIFBs. More recent studies have suggested the mortality from GIFBS to be significantly lower, with no deaths reported in over 850 adults and only one death in approximately 2200 children with reported GIFB. However, regardless of imprecise morbidity and mortality rates, serious complications and deaths occur as a consequence of foreign body ingestions.
Thus, because of their frequent occurrence and potential for negative consequences, it is important to understand which patients are at risk for GIFBs, know how to diagnose and treat GIFBs, and deal with their complications.

Estudos mais antigos sugerem que entre 1.500 e 2.750 mortes, secundárias a GIFBs, ocorreram nos Estados Unidos. Estudos mais recentes sugerem que a mortalidade por GIFBs é significativamente menor, sem mortes relatadas em mais de 850 adultos, e apenas uma morte relatada em aproximadamente 2.200 crianças com GIFB. No entanto, independentemente das imprecisas taxas de morbidade e mortalidade, complicações graves e mortes ocorrem como consequência da ingestão de corpos estranhos.
Assim, por causa da alta frequência e potencial para resultados negativos, é importante compreender quais pacientes estão em risco de GIFBs, como diagnosticar e tratar GIFBs e como lidar com suas complicações.
