The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of deprivation on outcomes of EGD irrespective of referral reason.\u0000Method: Two-thousand consecutive patients presenting to four Health Boards in Wales from June 2019 were studied retrospectively with deprivation scores calculated using the Wales Indices of Multiple Deprivation (WIMD). Patients were sub-classified into quintiles for analysis (Q1 most, Q5 least Deprived).\u0000Results: Inhabitants of the most deprived areas were more likely to be diagnosed with Peptic Ulcer (Q1 7.9%, Q5 4.7%; OR 0.498, p=0.018), Severe Esophagitis (LA4, Q1 2.7% v Q5 0%, OR 0.089, p=0.002), Helicobacter Pylori infection (Q1 5.4%, Q5 1.7%; OR 0.284, p=0.002), but less likely to be diagnosed with Barrett’s Eesophagus (Q1 6.3% v Q5 12.3%, OR 2.146, p=0.004) than those from least deprived areas. New cancer diagnoses numbered 53 and were proportionately higher after Urgent Suspected Cancer (USC, n=35, 4.6%) than routine referral (n=3, 0.6%, p<0.001).

Deep learning-based image recognition has not been investigated in predicting pancreatitis in this setting.\u0000Methods: We included 70 patients who received endoscopic placement of a SEMS for nonresectable distal MBO. We constructed a convolutional neural network (CNN) model for pancreatitis prediction using a series of preprocedural computed tomography images covering the whole pancreas (≥ 120,960 augmented images in total). We examined the additional effects of the CNN-based probabilities on the following machine learning models based on clinical parameters: logistic regression, support vector machine with a linear or RBF kernel, random forest classifier, and gradient boosting classifier. Model performance was assessed based on the area under the curve (AUC) in the receiver operating characteristic analysis, positive predictive value (PPV), accuracy, and specificity.\u0000Results: The CNN model was associated with moderate levels of performance metrics: AUC, 0.67; PPV, 0.45; accuracy, 0.66; and specificity, 0.63. When added to the machine learning models, the CNN-based probabilities increased the performance metrics. The logistic regression model with the CNN-based probabilities had an AUC of 0.74, PPV of 0.85, accuracy of 0.83, and specificity of 0.96, compared to 0.72, 0.78, 0.77, and 0.96, respectively, without the probabilities.\u0000Conclusions: The CNN-based model may increase the predictability for pancreatitis following endoscopic placement of a biliary SEMS.

Thus far, management of anastomosis closure at the time of lumen-apposing metal stent (LAMS) removal has varied widely. This study aimed to assess the efficacy of primary closure at the time of LAMS removal using a through-the-scope (TTS) tack-based suture system. Patients and methods This was a two-center retrospective study of RYGB patients who underwent single-stage EDGI using a 20-mm LAMS and subsequent primary anastomosis closure with the X-tack system at the time of stent removal. Patient demographics, procedure details, clinical outcomes, and imaging findings are reported. Results Nineteen patients (median age 63 years, 84% female) underwent single-stage EDGI with a median follow-up of 31.5 months. Adverse events occurred in two patients (11%) who had abdominal pain requiring hospitalization. The median LAMS dwell time was 32 days (range 16–86). All patients (100%) who underwent follow-up studies after LAMS removal had confirmed anastomosis closure (n = 18). Most patients had documented weight loss at the time of LAMS removal and at last follow-up (68%, n = 13). Conclusions Single-stage EDGI is an effective approach to managing RYGB patients with pancreaticobiliary pathology. Thus far, endoscopic TTS tack-based suturing appears to have a high success rate in anastomosis closure after LAMS removal and should be considered as a primary method for preventing chronic fistulae.","PeriodicalId":508938,"journal":{"name":"Endoscopy International Open","volume":"2 2","pages":"E526 - E531"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140787617","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}

We aimed to evaluate the feasibility and safety of pyloric muscle sampling during gastric peroral endoscopic myotomy (G-POEM) and the association between pyloric ICC density and degree of fibrosis with clinical outcomes. Patients and methods This was a single-center prospective study of gastroparetic patients who underwent G-POEM and intraprocedural pyloric muscle biopsies between January 2022 and April 2023. ICC count was estimated using CD117 stain and trichome for collagen fibrosis. Clinical response to G-POEM was defined as an improvement of ≥ 1 point on the Gastroparesis Cardinal Symptom Index. Results Fifty-six patients (median age 60 years, 71.4% women) underwent G-POEM (100% technical success; 71.4% clinical response). ICC depletion (< 10/high-power field) and fibrosis were encountered in 70.4% and 75% of the cases, respectively. There was no difference in mean ICC count between G-POEM responders vs. non-responders (7±3.6 vs. 7.7±3.3; P = 0.9). There was no association between ICC density or degree of fibrosis with the etiology of gastroparesis, duration of symptoms, gastric emptying rate, or pyloric impedance planimetry. Patients who did not respond to G-POEM had a significantly higher degree of moderate/severe fibrosis when compared with those who responded (81.3% vs. 25%; P = 0.0002). Conclusions Pyloric muscle biopsies during G-POEM was feasible and safe. ICC depletion and pyloric muscle fibrosis are common in gastroparetic patients.

This study aimed to clarify this course. Patients and methods A total of 36 patients with EE who were endoscopically followed up for more than 5 years, and who underwent more than one endoscopy evaluation after the first diagnosis, were investigated. These patients were divided into two groups according to the presence or absence of the continuous treatment: no treatment group (NT group, n=22) and proton pump inhibitor/potassium competitive acid blocker group (Tx group, n=14). Symptoms and endoscopic and histological findings were retrospectively reviewed according to endoscopic phenotypes. Endoscopic assessment was performed using the EoE endoscopic reference score (EREFS). Results The median follow-up period was 84.5 months in the Tx group and 92 months in the NT group. During the follow-up period, about half of the patients in the Tx-diffuse group persisted EREFS >3, while the remaining half had EREFS ≤2. The total EREFS in the NT-diffuse group remained almost unchanged (median: 2–4) without apparent exacerbation. In contrast, EREFS in the NT-localized group exhibited an unchanged or gradually decreasing trend, with statistical significance from the first diagnosis to 72 to 83 months after. Conclusions Untreated aEE and mEoE are not likely to worsen even without treatment at least for a median follow-up of 7 years. Instead, the localized type may spontaneously improve, implying a different pathogenesis in the presence of the diffuse type.

Sessile-serrated-lesions (SSLs), in particular, tend to be flat and located in the proximal colon, making their detection challenging and requiring expertise. It remains unclear whether the detection rate for serrated polyps should be considered as a quality indicator in addition to the adenoma detection rate (ADR). This study sought to assess whether the ADR has an effect on the detection rate for serrated polyps. atients and methods In this retrospective analysis, prospectively collected data from 212,668 screening colonoscopies performed between 2012 and September 2018 were included. Spearman correlation and Whitney-Mann U-test were used to assess the association of ADR and the detection rate of SSLs with (SDR) and without hyperplastic polyps (SPADRs), the sessile serrated detection rate (SSLDR) as well as the clinically relevant serrated detection rate (CRSDR), including all SSLs and traditional serrated adenoma, hyperplastic polyps (HPs) >10 mm anywhere in the colon or HPs > 5 mm proximal to the sigmoid. Results The overall mean ADR was 21.78% (standard deviation [SD] 9.27), SDR 21.08% (SD 11.44), SPADR 2.19% (SD 2.49), and CRSDR was 3.81% (3.40).
