Article Synopsis
- The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic significantly decreased gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy activity in France, as shown by a comprehensive web-based survey conducted among French gastroenterologists.
- Out of 694 respondents, a staggering 98.7% reported having to cancel procedures due to the pandemic's impact, with a notable percentage involved in managing COVID-19 patients.
- The study reveals concerning health implications, including potential delays in treating gastroenterology patients, particularly those with GI cancers, due to the restricted access to necessary endoscopic procedures.
Background: Constipation has a significant impact on quality of life. Aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and the efficacy for relieving dyschezia symptoms of a CO2-releasing suppository in a randomized, placebo-controlled, clinical trial.
Methods: Fifty-three office-based primary care physicians and 24 gastroenterologists conducted the study in France, between November 2010 and January 2012.
Background: Patient acceptability of the preparation is a key factor in the success of colonoscopy, yet standard polyethylene glycol solutions are poorly tolerated owing to their high volume (4L) and low palatability. This study compared the efficacy, safety and acceptability of a 2L polyethylene glycol+ascorbate solution with a standard 4-L polyethylene glycol solution.
Methods: Adults referred for colonoscopy were randomised to 2-L polyethylene glycol+ascorbate (n=202) or 4-L polyethylene glycol solution (n=198).
