Background & Aims: The term post-colonoscopy colorectal cancer (PCCRC) refers to colorectal cancer (CRC) diagnosed after a negative colonoscopy. Using the root-cause algorithm proposed by the World Endoscopy Organization, we aimed to investigate plausible explanations for PCCRCs and potential changes in plausible explanations for PCCRCs over time in a Danish Region.
Methods: During 1995 to 2021, we used national health registries and electronic medical records in the Central Denmark Region to identify PCCRC cases, defined as CRCs recorded within 6 to 48 months after a colonoscopy.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate how transitional care interventions, which support older medical patients before and after hospital discharge, affect their rates of readmission.
- It performed a systematic review of existing literature, focusing on patients aged 65 and older, and analyzed the effectiveness of various interventions from 2008 to 2019.
- Results indicated that most interventions led to a decrease in readmission rates, particularly those that were intense, lasted longer than a month, and targeted high-risk patients, although the overall quality of the studies reviewed was considered suboptimal.
The aim of the present study was to compare 2 different bowel preparations procedures (split-dose with PicoPrep and bisacodyl vs. same-day preparation with PicoPrep) in patients undergoing colonoscopy with regard to quality of bowel preparation, compliance, and willingness to repeat. A retrospective quasi-experimental investigation was conducted.

Design: A randomized controlled intervention study.
Methods: Patients admitted for elective colon surgery were randomly assigned to either a group receiving early oral nutritional supplements (n=24) or traditional treatment with water or lemonade (n=22) in the PACU.
