OBJECTIVES: The Pancreatitis Activity Scoring System (PASS) has been derived by an international group of experts via a modified Delphi process. Our aim was to perform external validation study assess for concordance the PASS score with high face validity clinical outcomes and determine specific meaningful thresholds assist in application this scoring system large prospectively ascertained cohort. METHODS: We analyzed data from prospective cohort consecutive patients admitted Los Angeles...
The optimal approach to the drainage of malignant obstruction at liver hilum remains uncertain. We aim compare percutaneous transhepatic biliary (PTBD) endoscopic retrograde cholangiography (ERC) as first intervention in patients with cholestasis due suspected hilar (MHO). INTERCPT trial is a multi-center, comparative effectiveness, randomized, superiority PTBD vs. ERC for decompression MHO. One hundred and eighty-four eligible across medical centers United States, who provide informed...
Introduction: Acute pancreatitis can lead to organ failure in 15-20% of patients. We have previously reported that PASS (Pancreatitis Activity Scoring System) predicts readmission and provides a dynamic measurement clinical activity. Our aim is determine the role forecasting development moderately severe pancreatitis. Methods: evaluated consecutive patients who presented with acute from March 2015 April 2017. Only patient's first admission for study time period was included analysis....
Introduction: The appropriate use of PPIs has been well described in the medical literature. Yet they are often incorrectly prescribed both hospital and clinical practice. We aimed to determine how GI fellows our academic training program followed published accepted guidelines. Methods: This was a retrospective study seven hundred forty-nine visits at an gastroenterology clinic via chart review (7/2016-12/2016). Primary outcomes that were investigated regarding PPI were: 1) diagnosis 2) dose...
