Abstract null null Background & Aims null Neither food intake, nor the clinical characteristics of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) patients with severe food avoidance and restriction have been investigated. The aim of our study was to identify those patients and to characterize their symptoms, quality of life, and nutrient intake. null null null Methods null IBS patients who completed the IBS quality of life (IBSQOL) questionnaire at our secondary/tertiary centre were included. The three question...

BACKGROUND & AIM This study aimed to evaluate risk factors associated with liver fibrosis in metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD). METHODS A cross-sectional study of 967 Korean patients with MAFLD involved a cohort from a health screening program during the years 2015-2018. The patients were classified into four MAFLD subgroups: Group 1 (overweight); Group 2 (obese); Group 3 (lean/normal weight with metabolic abnormalities); and Group 4 (diabetes). Liver fibrosis was asse...

Abstract null null Background & Aims null The prognostic value of histologic scores, grades, and individual histologic sub-components, alone or in combination with endoscopy, for predicting endoscopic improvement (EI) and histo-endoscopic mucosal improvement (HEMI) during maintenance therapy in ulcerative colitis (UC) remains uncertain. null null null Methods null Post-hoc analysis of participants from the VARSITY trial (n=734 with histology). Receiver operating characteristic and multi-variate ...
Abstract null null Description null The purpose of this expert review is to describe the current methodologies available for endoscopic management of gastrointestinal perforations as well as the evidence behind prevention, appropriate devices, and the various methods (including their efficacy and safety) of intervention. null null null Methods null This is not a formal systematic review but is based on a review of the literature to provide best practice advice statements. No formal rating of the...
Abstract null null Background and Aims null Digestive diseases represent a diverse group of clinical conditions that impact the population. Their heterogeneity in classification, presentation, acuity, chronicity, and need for drug therapy presents a challenge when comparing and contrasting the burden associated with these conditions. Prior studies use an outdated classification system and aggregate costs at the population level or focus on specific diseases, limiting the ability to characterize ...
Abstract null null Background and aims null Endoscopic resection of non-ampullary duodenal adenoma is often challenging, and its technique has not yet been standardized. To overcome the practical difficulty of conventional endoscopic mucosal resection, underwater endoscopic mucosal resection (UEMR) was recently developed; therefore, we investigated the effectiveness and safety of UEMR for non-ampullary duodenal adenoma. null null null Methods null A multicenter, prospective cohort study was cond...
BACKGROUND & AIMS Adiposity has been consistently associated with gallstone disease risk. We aimed to characterize associations of anthropometric measures (body mass index [BMI], recent weight change, long-term weight change, waist circumference, and waist-to-hip ratio) with symptomatic gallstone disease according to strata of gallstone disease polygenic risk score (PRS). METHODS We conducted analysis among 34,626 participants with available genome-wide genetic data within three large, prospecti...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic relapsing and remitting disease with high morbidity, substantial healthcare costs, and increasing incidence. Fatigue is one of the most common symptoms that impacts quality of life and is a leading concern for patients with IBD. The aim of this study was to determine the global prevalence, risk factors, and impact of fatigue in adults with IBD. METHODS A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted. Data were retrieved from M...
BACKGROUND Epidemiological studies from Europe and North America report an increasing incidence of microscopic colitis (MC) in the late twentieth century followed by a plateau. This population-based study assessed recent incidence trends and the overall prevalence of MC over the past decade. METHODS Residents of Olmsted County, Minnesota diagnosed with collagenous colitis (CC) or lymphocytic colitis (LC) between January 1, 2011 and December 31, 2019 were identified using the Rochester Epidemiolo...
