Medical care setting is associated with survival in acute upper gastro-intestinal bleeding: A cohort study.

Background: There are limited data on the effect of the medical care setting on survival in patients admitted with acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding.

Aims: To identify the organisational and care setting which provides the optimal survival in patients with acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding.

Methods: A retrospective observational study of administrative data from a cohort of patients admitted to a Regional or Local hospital, and cared for in a gastroenterology or general ward.

A prospective cohort study evaluating a novel colonoscopy platform featuring full-spectrum endoscopy.

Background And Study Aims: Although colonoscopy is the criterion standard for detecting colorectal adenomas and cancers, a significant percentage of adenomas are missed with this technique. We aimed to establish the feasibility, usability, and safety of a novel colonoscopy platform featuring full-spectrum endoscopy (FUSE).

Patients And Methods: This was a prospective, single-center pilot and feasibility study.
