However, post-procedural gastro-oesophageal reflux was more common after POEM at 2 years. Here we report 5-year follow-up data.<h3>Methods</h3>This study is a multicentre, randomised, open-label, non-inferiority trial performed at eight centres in six European countries (Germany, Italy, Czech Republic, Sweden, the Netherlands, and Belgium). Patients with symptomatic primary achalasia were eligible for inclusion if they were older than 18 years and had an Eckardt symptom score higher than 3. Patients were randomly assigned (1:1; randomly permuted blocks of sizes 4, 8, or 12) to undergo either POEM or LHM plus Dor fundoplication. The primary endpoint was clinical success, defined by an Eckardt symptom score of 3 or less without the use of additional treatments, at 2 years, and was reported previously. Prespecified secondary endpoints at 5 years were clinical success; Eckardt symptom score; Gastrointestinal Quality of Life Index score; lower oesophageal sphincter function by high-resolution manometry; and parameters of post-procedural reflux (reflux oesophagitis according to the Los Angeles classification; pH-metry, and DeMeester clinical score). We hypothesised that POEM would be non-inferior (with a non-inferiority margin of –12·5 percentage points) to LHM plus Dor fundoplication with regards to clinical success. All analyses were performed on a modified intention-to-treat (mITT) population, which included all patients who underwent the assigned procedure.

The minimal ablative margin has traditionally been assessed through visual inspection of co-registered CT images. However, rates of local tumour control after thermal ablation are highly variable with visual assessment. We aimed to assess the use of a novel software-based method for minimal ablative margin assessment that incorporates biomechanical deformable image registration and artificial intelligence (AI)-based autosegmentation.<h3>Methods</h3>The COVER-ALL randomised, phase 2, superiority trial was conducted at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center (Houston, TX, USA). Patients aged 18 years or older with up to three histology-agnostic liver tumours measuring 1–5 cm and undergoing CT-guided thermal ablation were enrolled. Thermal ablation was performed with the aim of achieving a minimal ablative margin of 5 mm or greater. Patients were randomly assigned (1:1) to the experimental group (software-based assessment) or the control group (visual assessment) by use of dynamic minimisation to balance covariates. Randomisation was performed intraprocedurally after placement of the ablation applicator. Assessment of oncological outcomes and adverse events were masked to treatment allocation. All analyses were conducted on an intention-to-treat basis. The primary endpoint was the minimal ablative margin on post-ablation intraprocedural CT.

However, in resource-limited settings, access to HBV DNA testing is scarce, and accurate rapid tests for HBeAg are lacking. We aimed to assess the diagnostic performance of a newly developed hepatitis B core-related antigen (HBcrAg) rapid diagnostic test (RDT) to identify women who are HBsAg-positive and eligible for antiviral prophylaxis.<h3>Methods</h3>In this multicountry diagnostic accuracy study, we retrospectively validated the HBcrAg-RDT using stored plasma from pregnant women who were HBsAg-positive in cohort studies from Cambodia and Cameroon and prospectively using finger-prick capillary blood from postpartum mothers at rural health centres in Burkina Faso. We estimated the sensitivity and specificity of the HBcrAg-RDT for diagnosing high HBV DNA concentrations (≥200 000 IU/mL) using real-time PCR (rtPCR) as the reference. We compared the diagnostic performance of the HBcrAg-RDT with that of conventional HBeAg assays based on the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC).<h3>Findings</h3>In total, plasma samples were available for 1964 participants: 1194 stored plasma samples available for analysis from the Cambodian cohort, 501 stored samples from the Cameroonian cohort, and 269 prospectively collected samples from women in the Burkina Faso cohort. In the pooled population, the mean age was 28·1 years (SD 6·0), and 382 (20·0%) were HBeAg positive. The HBcrAg-RDT showed an overall sensitivity of 93·1% (95% CI 90·5–95·2) and specificity of 94·3% (93·0–95·4). Sensitivity and specificity were 93·4% (90·7–95·5) and 94·4% (92·9–95·6) in the retrospective laboratory-based analyses of samples from Cambodia and Cameroon, and 89·7% (75·8–97·1) and 93·9% (90·0–96·6) in the prospective real-world analysis of samples of HBsAg-positive women from Burkina Faso. The AUROC for HBcrAg-RDT (0·937 [95% CI 0·924–0·950]) in distinguishing high versus low HBV DNA concentrations at the 200 000 IU/mL threshold in the pooled data set was significantly higher than that of HBeAg rapid tests (0·822 [0·798–0·845]; p<0·0001) and similar to laboratory-based HBeAg immunoassays (ELISA and chemiluminescence assay; 0·926 [0·897–0·955]; p=0·72). In Burkina Faso, the median turnaround time for HBV DNA testing was 46 days (IQR 31–72), whereas HBcrAg-RDT provided same-day results for all participants.<h3>Interpretation</h3>HBcrAg-RDT might offer a practical solution for integrating the prevention of vertical transmission of HBV into decentralised antenatal care in resource-limited settings, enabling timely identification and management of pregnant individuals who are at high risk of transmission.<h3>Funding</h3>Agence Nationale de Recherches sur le Sida et les Hépatites Virales, Total Foundation, Gilead Scienc","PeriodicalId":56028,"journal":{"name":"Lancet Gastroenterology & Hepatology","volume":"88 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":35.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143618615","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}
