GLP-1RA use is associated with increased gastric residue on upper endoscopy, particularly in patients with T2DM, surpassing the impact of opiates alone. Risk is highest in the presence of T2DM complications while prolonged fasting and a clear-liquid diet are protective. This increased risk of gastric residue does not appear to translate to an increased risk of procedural complications.
