Aims This study quantified corticosteroid utilization patterns and associations with adverse outcomes from a patient perspective. Methods A cross‐sectional patient‐reported survey recruited AIHA network members with physician‐confirmed AIH ( <jats:italic>N</jats:italic> = 563). Corticosteroid exposure was quantified using annual duration thresholds (≥ 90 days/year at ≥ 5 mg/day prednisone‐equivalent). Early side effects (within 6 months; <jats:italic>n</jats:italic> = 491) and long‐term metabolic complications (≥ 2 years disease duration; <jats:italic>n</jats:italic> = 385) were assessed using multivariable logistic regression adjusting for age, sex and disease duration. Results Among 563 participants (median age 53 years; 87.4% female), all participants received a corticosteroid at diagnosis (77.6% prednisone; 11.4% budesonide). Side effects within 6 months were near‐universal (96.6%; median 5 symptoms) and greater with predniso(lo)ne than budesonide (5.82 vs. 3.55 symptoms; <jats:italic>p</jats:italic> &lt; 0.001); 51.2% of predniso(lo)ne‐initiated patients developed a new metabolic condition within 6 months. Long‐term complications affected 75.9% of the chronically exposed cohort, including weight gain &gt; 5% (47.0%), osteoporosis (30.4%) and hypertension (18.1%). Each additional cumulative year of extensive exposure was independently associated with the composite adverse outcome (adjusted OR 1.11, 95% CI 1.02–1.22; <jats:italic>p</jats:italic> = 0.014), osteoporosis, Type 2 diabetes, weight gain and cataracts, with significant dose–response gradients ( <jats:italic>p</jats:italic> ‐trend ≤ 0.008). Patients with &gt; 5 cumulative years had 4‐fold higher odds of the composite outcome versus patients in the None exposure group (OR 4.21, 95% CI 1.51–11.71). Conclusions Corticosteroid exposure in AIH is associated with dose‐dependent toxicity from the first months of treatment. Reduced induction dosing and budesonide represent potential steroid‐minimization strategies in appropriate patients, warranting prospective evaluation.","PeriodicalId":121,"journal":{"name":"Alimentary Pharmacology & Therapeutics","volume":"4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.6,"publicationDate":"2026-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149172642","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although increasingly documented, whether current interventions effectively reduce these inequalities remains uncertain. Aims To review socioeconomic and racial or ethnic inequalities in CRC incidence, screening and diagnosis, treatment, surveillance and survival and assess interventions designed to reduce them. Methods We conducted a narrative review of adult studies published in English between January 2000 and March 2026. MEDLINE, EMBASE, PubMed, and ISI Web of Knowledge were searched for studies addressing socioeconomic or racial and ethnic disparities in CRC, using a saturation approach. Results Socioeconomic disadvantage and belonging to some racial or ethnic minority groups were associated with higher CRC incidence within high‐income countries, lower screening participation, later diagnosis, less timely or guideline‐concordant treatment, poorer surveillance and worse survival. In the USA, five‐year survival was 60.6% among Black patients versus 66.7% among White patients, with little improvement in this gap over several decades. Inequalities at successive stages may contribute to cumulative disadvantage. Intervention evidence was markedly uneven across the continuum. Mailed stool‐test outreach and patient navigation increased screening among underserved populations, whereas evidence for interventions specifically reducing inequalities in treatment, surveillance, and broader survivorship was sparse. Conclusions Improving overall CRC prevention and care cannot be assumed to reduce inequalities. The major evidence gap has shifted from documenting disparities towards demonstrating how to reduce them, particularly beyond screening. Equity should become an explicit outcome of CRC research, implementation, healthcare quality assessment and clinical guidelines.","PeriodicalId":121,"journal":{"name":"Alimentary Pharmacology & Therapeutics","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.6,"publicationDate":"2026-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149172641","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Aims To examine 1‐year risk of CRC in Welsh patients with symptoms of suspected bowel cancer by demographics, iron deficiency anaemia (IDA), and FIT. Methods Cohort study of adults registered in the Welsh Longitudinal General Practice dataset with a FIT recorded from 01/01/2020–31/03/2024.

[&lt;span&gt;1&lt;/span&gt;], which identified a short-chain fatty acid (SCFA)-enriched faecal metabotype in patients with moderate-to-severe diarrhoea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D). The study is valuable because it moves beyond symptom-based classification and integrates faecal volatile organic compounds, metagenomic data, clinical symptom scores and whole-gut transit time. The finding that approximately one-third of patients exhibited an SCFA-enriched profile associated with abdominal pain, urgency, stool frequency and faster transit provides an important step towards biologically informed stratification of IBS-D.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;However, one issue that deserves further consideration is that faecal SCFA enrichment does not necessarily indicate increased microbial SCFA production. Faecal SCFA abundance is shaped by microbial fermentation, epithelial absorption, stool water content and intestinal transit [&lt;span&gt;2&lt;/span&gt;]. Because the SCFA-enriched group also had faster whole-gut transit, higher faecal SCFA levels may partly reflect reduced absorptive opportunity or altered dilution rather than enhanced production. Future studies could strengthen this interpretation by incorporating absolute SCFA quantification, stool water correction, segmental transit assessment and host absorption markers such as epithelial SCFA transporter expression.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Second, the SCFA-enriched metabotype may represent a rapid-transit diarrhoeal kinetic phenotype rather than an independent severe IBS-D subtype. Pain, urgency, loose stools, stool frequency and accelerated transit are closely interrelated in IBS-D [&lt;span&gt;3&lt;/span&gt;]. Therefore, the observed association between SCFA enrichment and symptom severity may be partly mediated by transit dynamics [&lt;span&gt;4&lt;/span&gt;]. Multivariable modelling, mediation analysis or structural equation modelling could help determine whether SCFA enrichment remains independently associated with pain or IBS severity after adjustment for whole-gut transit time, stool form and stool frequency.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Third, the comparator group labelled as the ‘Other’ metabotype may not be biologically homogeneous. It included diverse metabolites such as ketones, aldehydes, terpenes, organosulphur compounds, indole and phenols, whereas the non-negative matrix factorisation analysis further suggested at least two non-SCFA signatures [&lt;span&gt;5&lt;/span&gt;]. Combining these distinct metabolic states into one reference group may obscure clinically relevant heterogeneity and exaggerate the contrast with the SCFA-enriched group [&lt;span&gt;6&lt;/span&gt;]. Future research may benefit from multidimensional metabolic phenotyping rather than a binary SCFA versus non-SCFA framework.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In conclusion, this study provides an important foundation for metabolic stratification in IBS-D. Clarifying whether faecal SCFA enrichment reflects production, absorption, transit or their interaction will be essential before this metabotype can be tra","PeriodicalId":121,"journal":{"name":"Alimentary Pharmacology & Therapeutics","volume":"64 9","pages":"1316-1317"},"PeriodicalIF":6.8,"publicationDate":"2026-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/apt.70717","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147831365","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
