While changes in the gut microbiome composition were observed in response to IBD therapy using biologics, studies elucidating human and microbial proteins and pathways in dependence on therapy success are sparse. Methods: Fecal samples of a cohort of IBD patients were collected before and after 14 weeks of treatment with three different biologics. Clinical disease activity scores were used to determine the clinical response and remission. Fecal metaproteomes of remitting patients (n=12) and of non-remitting patients (n=12) were compared before treatment and changes within both groups were assessed over sampling time to identify functional changes and potential human and microbial biomarkers. Results: The abundance of proteins associated with the intestinal barrier, neutrophilic granulocytes, and immunoglobulins significantly decreased in remitting patients. In contrast, an increase of those proteins was observed in non-remitting patients. There were significant changes in pathways of microbial metabolism in samples from patients with remission after therapy. This included, for example, an increased abundance of proteins from butyrate fermentation. Finally, new potential biomarkers for the prediction and monitoring of therapy success could be identified, e.g. human lysosome-associated membrane glycoprotein 1, a cytotoxicity marker, or microbial anthranilate synthase component 2, a part of the tryptophan metabolism. Conclusions: Distinct changes of proteins related to gut inflammation and gut microbiome metabolism showed whether IBD remission was achieved or not. This suggests that metaproteomics could be a useful tool for monitoring remission in IBD therapies.","PeriodicalId":501258,"journal":{"name":"medRxiv - Gastroenterology","volume":"24 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141549723","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To optimize the management of these patients, it is crucial to comprehend the similarities and differences between individuals with NASH and MASH.\u0000Methods: We analyzed data from 13,846 participants in the third National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys, along with their linked mortality through 2019. NASH and MASH were defined based on respective criteria. Survey-weight adjusted multivariable Cox proportional model was used to examine mortality.\u0000Results: The overall prevalence of steatohepatitis, NASH and MASH was 5.7% (n=788), 4.1% (n=564) and 5.5% (n=763), respectively. Most individuals with NASH (96.8%) could be categorized as MASH, but only 69.7% individuals with MASH qualified as NASH. During a median follow-up of 27 years, individuals with MASH exhibited a 53% higher risk of all-cause mortality (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] 1.53, 95% CI 1.24-1.89). But individuals with NASH did not show an association with all-cause mortality after adjustment for metabolic risk factors (aHR 1.14, 95% CI 0.91-1.44). Notably, individuals who met the criteria for MASH but not NASH (NASH(-)/MASH(+)) had a higher risk of all-cause mortality (aHR 2.47, 95% CI 1.71-3.57) compared to those with NASH(+)/MASH(+) (aHR 1.22, 95% CI 0.97-1.55). Moreover, advanced fibrosis was only associated with an increased risk of all-cause mortality in individuals with MASH, not NASH.\u0000Conclusions: MASH, rather than NASH, was associated with an elevated risk of all-cause mortality after adjusting for metabolic risk factors. Well-designed prospective studies are needed to assess and validate our findings.","PeriodicalId":501258,"journal":{"name":"medRxiv - Gastroenterology","volume":"58 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141504106","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, such prognostic tool is lacking for acute pancreatitis (AP). Increasingly machine learning (ML) techniques are being used to develop high-performing prognostic models in AP. However, methodologic and reporting quality has received little attention. High-quality reporting and study methodology are critical to model validity, reproducibility, and clinical implementation. In collaboration with content experts in ML methodology, we performed a systematic review critically appraising the quality of methodology and reporting of recently published ML AP prognostic models. Methods: Using a validated search strategy, we identified ML AP studies from the databases MEDLINE, PubMed, and EMBASE published between January 2021 and December 2023. Eligibility criteria included all retrospective or prospective studies that developed or validated new or existing ML models in patients with AP that predicted an outcome following an episode of AP. Meta-analysis was considered if there was homogeneity in the study design and in the type of outcome predicted. For risk of bias (ROB) assessment, we used the Prediction Model Risk of Bias Assessment Tool (PROBAST). Quality of reporting was assessed using the Transparent Reporting of a Multivariable Prediction Model of Individual Prognosis or Diagnosis – Artificial Intelligence (TRIPOD+AI) statement that defines standards for 27 items that should be reported in publications using ML prognostic models. Results: The search strategy identified 6480 publications of which 30 met the eligibility criteria. Studies originated from China (22), U.S (4), and other (4). All 30 studies developed a new ML model and none sought to validate an existing ML model, producing a total of 39 new ML models. AP severity (23/39) or mortality (6/39) were the most common outcomes predicted. The mean area-under-the-curve for all models and endpoints was 0.91 (SD 0.08). The ROB was high for at least one domain in all 39 models, particularly for the analysis domain (37/39 models). Steps were not taken to minimize over-optimistic model performance in 27/39 models. Due to heterogeneity in the study design and in how the outcomes were defined and determined, meta-analysis was not performed.\u0000Studies reported on only 15/27 items from TRIPOD+AI standards, with only 7/30 justifying sample size and 13/30 assessing data quality. Other reporting deficiencies included omissions regarding human-AI interaction (28/30), handling low-quality or incomplete data in practice (27/30), sharing analytical codes (25/30), study protocols (25/30) and reporting source data (19/30),.
