Objectives To investigate the incidence and outcomes of acute lower gastrointestinal bleeding (ALGIB) in a population-based setting examine role drugs potentially associated with GIB. Methods The study was prospective population based. cohort included all patients who underwent colonoscopy during year 2010 at National University Hospital Iceland. Indications for endoscopies drug history were recorded systematic manner. inclusion criteria overt leading to hospitalization or occurring...
Objective. The authors aimed to investigate the incidence and outcomes of acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding (AUGIB) examine role drugs potentially associated with AUGIB. Methods. study was prospective, population-based consisted all patients who underwent endoscopy (UGE), during year 2010 at National University Hospital Iceland. Drug intake NSAIDs, low-dose aspirin (LDA), warfarin, SSRIs bisphosphonates prior GIB prospectively registered also checked in a Pharmaceutical Database covering...
We aimed to evaluate the diagnostic utility of single-operator peroral cholangioscopy (SOC) for indeterminate biliary lesions and its usefulness in electrohydraulic lithotripsy (EHL) stones not amenable conventional endoscopic therapy.All patients undergoing SpyGlass SOC four UK tertiary centres between 2008 2010 were retrospectively enrolled. Patients followed up until death or last clinic visit May 2011. The operating characteristics detecting malignant stone clearance rate after...
There is a lack of consensus on how endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided pseudocyst drainage and necrosectomy should be performed. This survey was carried out amongst members the EUS Journal Editorial Board to describe their practices in performing this procedure. worldwide multi-institutional May 2017. The responses 22-question with respect practice EUS-guided were obtained. Twenty-two endoscopists responded questionnaire as follows: 72.7% (16/22) opinion that lumen-apposing metal stents...
Summary Background Drug‐induced liver injury may be immunologically mediated or metabolically induced. Peripheral eosinophilia and in suspected drug‐induced generally supports the role of drug aetiology. Aim To assess importance hepatic necrosis on outcome patients with injury. Methods We performed search MEDLINE for case reports associated with: amoxicillin/clavulanic acid, carbamazepine, diclofenac, disulfiram, erythromycin, flucloxacillin, halothane, isoniazid, phenytoin, sulindac...
Studies on animal models of hepatic encephalopathy (HE) suggest that poor nutritional status may facilitate the development HE. Insulin resistance and diabetes mellitus have recently been reported to affect cognition in patients with hepatitis C cirrhosis awaiting liver transplantation. Our aim was investigate effects malnutrition HE unselected cirrhosis.A total 128 consecutive cirrhotic were prospectively evaluated for presence according West-Haven criteria as well by means two psychometric...
Gastrointestinal symptoms can lead to decreased food intake and thereby increased morbidity. There is a general lack of data on the prevalence gastrointestinal their potential association with malnutrition health-related quality life (QoL) in cirrhosis. Our aim was prospectively evaluate symptoms, malnutrition, QoL patients cirrhosis.Two validated questionnaires were used measure (gastrointestinal symptom rating scale (GSRS)) (SF-36) 128 consecutive cirrhotics (mean age 57 years, Child-Pugh...
EUS-guided biliary drainage (EUS-BD) was shown to be useful for malignant obstruction (MBO). However, there is lack of consensus on how EUS-BD should performed.This a worldwide multi-institutional survey among members the International Society EUS conducted in February 2018. The consisted 10 questions related practice EUS-BD.Forty-six endoscopists them completed survey. majority felt that could replace percutaneous transhepatic after failure ERCP. Among all methods, rendezvous stenting...
Abstract Background The limited data on the utility of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided through-the-needle biopsies (TTNBs) in patients with pancreatic cystic lesions (PCLs) originate mainly from retrospective studies. Our aim was to determine clinical impact TTNBs, their added diagnostic value, and adverse event rate a prospective setting. Methods This prospective, single-center, open-label controlled study. Between February 2018 August 2019, consecutive presenting PCL 15 mm or more...
Population-based data on the impact of bacterial infections course compensated and decompensated cirrhosis as well occurrence, predictors infection-related acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) its fatal outcome are limited.All patients with incident in period 2001-2010, residing an area 600,000 inhabitants, were retrospectively identified. All serious (resulting or occurring during inpatient hospital episode) this analyzed. Infection site acquisition type, comorbid illness (Charlson...
OBJECTIVES: Chronic pancreatitis (CP) is characterized by several disease-related complications and multiple etiological risk factors. Past studies of associations between factors have mostly been limited to single or highly focused on etiologies. Using an objective data-driven approach (cluster analysis), we complication clusters their with in a large cohort patients CP. METHODS: This was multicenter, cross-sectional study including 1,071 CP from the Scandinavian Baltic countries....
Background and Objectives: Cystic lesions of the pancreas represent a diagnostic dilemma. Recently, through-the-needle microbiopsy forceps has become available, enabling procurement EUS-guided histological specimens from pancreatic cyst wall. The aim this study was to evaluate use novel instrument in multicenter clinical setting. Patients Methods: referred for EUS evaluation cysts attempted included retrospectively six international tertiary centers. Patient's demographics, findings,...
Objective. Patients with hepatitis C have been shown to impaired health-related quality of life (HRQoL). The aim this study was determine HRQoL in patients different stages virus (HCV) and compare HCV cirrhosis non-HCV-induced cirrhosis. Material methods. Out 489 consecutive who fulfilled the inclusion criteria, 472 (96%) agreed participate study: 158 mild/moderate fibrosis chronic (CHC group), 76 compensated (CC), 53 decompensated (DC) cirrhosis, 52 non-cirrhotic sustained viral response...
Objective. Patients with short-bowel syndrome (SBS) have impaired health-related quality of life (QoL). However, comparisons QoL data the on other chronic gastrointestinal diseases are not available. The aim this study was to assess in SBS patients compared that general population and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). potential relation between fatigue symptoms these also investigated. Material methods. Four validated questionnaires were used measure aspects (SF-36), psychological distress...
