Prevalence of incidental clinically relevant pancreatic cysts at diagnosis based on current guidelines.

Background: Most pancreatic cysts (PCs) found incidentally by CT and MRI scans might not be clinically important according to the Fukuoka guidelines, the American Gastroenterological Association (AGA) guidelines and European guidelines.

Aims: To determine and compare the prevalence of incidental clinically important PCs (CIPCs).

Methods: Abdominal contrast-enhanced CT or MRI scans performed during a one-year period were retrospectively reviewed to identify incidental PCs.

Risk of colorectal neoplasia in patients with celiac disease: a multicenter study.

Background And Aims: The association of celiac disease with colorectal neoplasia is controversial. The aim of this study was to determine the risk of colorectal neoplasia among patients with celiac disease.

Methods: We carried out a multicenter, retrospective case-control study, within four community hospitals.

Risk of colorectal polyps in patients with sporadic gastric polyps: A case-control study.

Aim: To assess the risk of colonic polyps, adenomas and advanced neoplastic lesions (ANL) in patients with sporadic gastric polyps, especially those with fundic gland polyps (FGP).

Methods: Clinical records of patients who had performed an upper and a lower digestive endoscopy between September 2007 and August 2008 were retrospectively analyzed. A case-control study was carried out, calling patients with gastric polyps as "cases" and patients without gastric polyps as "controls".
