Summary Objective Effectiveness of behavioural obesity treatments in adolescents is modest. Thus, incorporating participant feedback may lead to improvement intervention acceptability. This qualitative study's objective was assess perceived barriers/facilitators weight loss and healthy lifestyles among diverse with overweight/obesity (OW/OB). Methods Adolescents ages 14–19 BMI ≥ 85th percentile participated focus groups identified lifestyles. Results Ten sex‐stratified ( n = 41; 13 males, 28...
Background: Behavioral lifestyle interventions are the foundation of adolescent obesity treatment. Tailoring an intervention using stakeholder engagement during development process could improve effectiveness. Methods: Adolescents with overweight/obesity ages 14-19 (n = 41) participated in 11 sex-specific focus groups (girls 6, boys 5) and were asked their preferences regarding who should lead be involved, what messaging program be, how to make engaging maintain participation, best measure...
Background: Management of choledocholithiasis in patients with Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery is challenging. This study aims to compare technical success rates, adverse events, and procedural time between 3 current approaches: endoscopic ultrasound-directed transgastric Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) (EDGE), enteroscopy-assisted ERCP (E-ERCP), laparoscopic-assisted (LA-ERCP). Methods: A systematic search 5 databases was conducted. Direct network meta-analyses were...
Gastric antral vascular ectasia (GAVE) is characterized by ectasias accounting for 4% of nonvariceal upper gastrointestinal bleeds, which can range from occult bleeds to severe acute bleeding. In turn, GAVE lead morbidity and recurrent hospitalization. Current endoscopic treatments include argon plasma coagulation (APC), band ligation (EBL), radiofrequency ablation. With this significant burden in mind, a systematic review network meta-analysis were conducted compare the efficacy safety...
Obesity in adolescence has reached epidemic proportions around the world, with prevalence of severe obesity increasing at least four-fold over last 35 years. Provision evidence-based treatment options that are tailored and relevant to needs adolescents is paramount, yet difficult tailor because little known regarding barriers facilitators adolescent weight loss. Thus, identification loss among overweight/obesity (OW/OB) needed. The objective this qualitative study was assess perceived a...
Introduction: Managing cholelithiasis in post-Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery is challenging due to altered anatomy. Through direct and network meta-analysis, our study aimed compare the technical success rates, adverse events, procedural time with 3 approaches: endoscopic ultrasound-directed transgastric ERCP (EDGE), enteroscopy-assisted (E-ERCP), laparoscopic-assisted (LA-ERCP). Methods: The search was performed using 5 databases. We conducted a head-to-head comparator meta-analysis of...
