Article Synopsis
- Endoscopic ablation is the primary treatment for dysplastic Barrett's esophagus (BE), primarily utilizing radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and argon plasma coagulation (APC) in Polish medical centers.
- A retrospective analysis of 160 adult patients revealed high rates of complete remission for intestinal metaplasia (80.0%) and dysplasia (93.8%), alongside a manageable adverse event rate, with 30.6% reporting minor and 5.6% major complications.
- The study also identified that RFA, used more for severe cases, had a higher failure rate compared to APC/h-APC, particularly in patients with long-segment BE and diabetes, suggesting specific risk factors for less favorable treatment outcomes
Background And Aims: Cleanliness of the mucosa of the upper GI (UGI) tract is critical for performing a high-quality EGD. The aim of this study was to validate a recently developed UGI cleanliness scale (the Polprep: Effective Assessment of Cleanliness in Esophagogastroduodenoscopy [PEACE] system) in the detection of clinically significant lesions (CSLs) in the UGI tract.
Methods: Patients who underwent a complete diagnostic EGD were prospectively enrolled from August 2021 to October 2022.
Background And Aims: Capsule endoscopy (CE) interpretation requires the review of many thousands of images, with lesions often limited to just a few frames. In this study we aim to determine whether lesion detection declines according to the number of capsule videos read.
Methods: 32 participants, 16 of which were novices (NR) and 16 experienced (ER) capsule readers took part in this prospective evaluation study.
