AIMTo use a national database of United States hospitals to evaluate the incidence and costs hospital admissions associated with gastroparesis.
The effectiveness of colonoscopy in preventing colon cancer depends on adenoma detection and removal. Adequacy bowel preparation, careful mucosal visualization, adequate withdrawal time are known to affect rate (ADR). Physician fatigue, which usually increases as the day progresses, might impair ADR. aim this study is assess effect timing colonoscopy, morning vs. afternoon, ADR.Medical records 9,063 colonoscopies performed 2006 were reviewed for patient demographics, indications, timing,...
Few studies have evaluated the long-term complications and outcomes of esophageal atresia with or without tracheoesophageal fistula (EA/TEF) beyond childhood. The aim our study was to characterize respiratory morbidity EA/TEF through evaluation clinical symptoms, diagnostic testing therapeutic intervention at a tertiary care center.Patients congenital from 2011 2014 were included. Demographic characteristics, type mode repair EA/TEF, radiographic, endoscopic, bronchoscopic medication use...
Changes in gut bacteria play a role type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) and hepatic steatosis. There is lack of studies evaluating the frequency risk factors for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) patients tested small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO).To evaluate NAFLD associated SIBO.In this case-control study, 372 eligible submitted to glucose hydrogen/methane breath test SIBO who also had an abdominal imaging study were included. Patients divided into SIBO-positive SIBO-negative...
INTRODUCTION: Preliminary data suggest that an encapsulated balloon (EsoCheck), coupled with a 2 methylated DNA biomarker panel (EsoGuard), detects Barrett's esophagus (BE) and esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) high accuracy. The initial assay requires sample freezing upon collection. purpose of this study was to assess next-generation EsoCheck sampling device EsoGuard in much-enlarged multicenter clinically enhanced by using Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments 1988-compliant samples...
Adenoma detection rate is an important quality indicator. High adenoma related to fewer interval cancers. Interval cancers arise from sessile serrated polyps, often in the proximal colon. The of adenomas and polyps by location may enhance colonoscopy efficacy.The aim this study was determine entire colon segmental polyp rates assess impact endoscopist specialty on detection.Colonoscopies performed 65 multispecialty endoscopists were studied.This conducted at academic medical...
AIM:To assess and compare the esophageal function after peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) vs other conventional treatments in achalasia. METHODS:Chart review of all achalasia patients who underwent POEM, laparoscopic Heller (LHM) or pneumatic dilation (PD) at our institution between January 2012 March 2015 was performed.Patient demographics, type achalasia, prior treatments, pre-and post-treatment timed barium swallow (TBE) high-resolution manometry (HREM) findings were compared three...
INTRODUCTION: A risk prediction test was previously validated to predict progression high-grade dysplasia (HGD) and esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) in patients with Barrett's esophagus (BE). The aim of our study independently validate this the HGD/EAC BE nondysplastic (ND), indefinite for low-grade (LGD). METHODS: single-blinded, case-control conducted stratify as low, intermediate, or high within 5 years using a described test. Patients who progressed after at least 1 year (n = 58) were...
Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE) is a chronic inflammatory esophageal disorder, often complicated by strictures requiring dilation. There limited information on the target luminal diameter (ELD) post-treatment to relieve symptoms. The aim of this study was determine ELD threshold associated with dysphagia resolution in EoE patients histologic remission. We performed retrospective cohort adult stricture Patients were excluded if symptoms, endoscopic reference score (EREFS), and missing....
Background and Study Aims: Unsedated upper endoscopy is an attractive alternative to conventional sedated because it can reduce the cost, complications, recovery time of procedure. However, has not gained widespread acceptance in United States. A prototype 4-mm-diameter video esophagoscope available. Our aims were compare unsedated esophagoscopy using this 4-mm with regard diagnostic accuracy patient tolerance, determine optimal intubation route (transnasal vs. transoral), identify...
Achalasia is an idiopathic esophageal motility disorder characterized by dysphagia, regurgitation, chest discomfort and weight loss. The aim of this study was to evaluate the temporal trends in demographic variables, interventions, inpatient burden achalasia-related hospitalizations.We evaluated National Inpatient Sample Database (NIS) for all patients whom achalasia (ICD-9 code: 530.0) principal discharge diagnosis from 1997 2013. Data regarding patient demographics, number...
To determine the outcomes associated with timing of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in patients acute cholangitis due to choledocholithiasis, from a population-based study.Although ERCP is cornerstone management effect on health care not well known.In this retrospective study, national inpatient sample (NIS) data were used identify combined primary or secondary diagnosis and choledocholithiasis 1998 2012. Patients divided into 4 groups based after admission: (1)...
