Eur J Gastroenterol Hepatol

Article Synopsis
- This study examined how well Patient Blood Management (PBM) strategies are followed in treating patients with gastrointestinal bleeding across multiple hospitals in a nationwide setting from March 2019 to March 2021.
- A total of 450 patients were studied, showing high adherence rates of 90.9% for transfusions and 81.8% for iron supplementation, which correlated with better outcomes such as lower mortality risk.
- Overall, the research suggests that strict adherence to PBM strategies is safe and improves treatment results for patients suffering from GI bleeding.
Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates the effectiveness and safety of biological therapies for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in patients aged 65 and older, addressing a gap in existing research primarily focused on younger populations.
- A total of 1,090 elderly patients were included, with findings showing that a significant portion achieved clinical remission after treatment, particularly by the 52-week mark.
- Although the therapies were generally safe, there was a notable occurrence of oncological events, with variations in incidence rates depending on the specific treatment used.
Background: The usefulness of thiopurines has been poorly explored in pouchitis and other pouch disorders.
Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of azathioprine as maintenance therapy in inflammatory pouch disorders.
Design: This was a retrospective and multicentre study.
Rates of new dysplastic lesions or cancer progression after first dye chromoendoscopy in the era of high-definition endoscopy have yet to be determined. A multicenter, population-based, retrospective cohort study was performed in seven hospitals in Spain. Patients with inflammatory bowel disease and fully resected (R0) dysplastic colon lesions under surveillance with high-definition dye-based chromoendoscopy were sequentially enrolled between February 2011 and June 2017, with a minimum endoscopic follow-up of 36 months.

Objectives: To evaluate the incidence of IBD in Castilla y León describing clinical characteristics of the patients at diagnosis, the type of treatment received and their clinical course during the first year.
Materials And Methods: Prospective, multicenter and population-based incidence cohort study.
Aims: To evaluate the results of a hepatitis B and C screening program in hospitalized COVID-19 patients.
Method: Transversal prospective study conducted in two Spanish hospitals. Patients admitted from March 1st to December 31st 2020 with a diagnosis of COVID-19 were tested for markers of hepatitis B (HBsAg, anti-HBc) and C (anti-HCV, HCV RNA) infection.
Introduction: There are few published studies on predictors of response to treatment with sofosbuvir and simeprevir in HCV patients.
Objective: The objective of the study was to analyse possible predictors of response to simeprevir (SMV) and sofosbuvir (SOF) in patients infected with hepatitis C genotypes 1 or 4.
Patients And Methods: Prospective observational cohort study in 12 hospitals.
