The Prediction of Inadequate Colon Capsule Cleansing: A Cohort Selection Guided by CC-CLEAR.

Introduction: In order to optimize the rate of adequate cleansing in colon capsule, it may be important to identify risk factors that can predict a suboptimal colon preparation.

Aim: To define predictive factors for inadequate bowel preparation in colon capsule, according to CC-CLEAR (Colon Capsule CLEansing Assessment and Report).

Methods: Retrospective, single center, cohort study.

Prognostic scores in post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography acute pancreatitis: should we use all, some, or none?

Background/aims: Acute pancreatitis is the most commonly observed adverse event following endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). Early risk stratification is crucial in the management of these patients, to reduce unfavorable outcomes. Multiple prognostic scores are already used in acute pancreatitis, regardless of its etiology.

Gastrostomy Button Diameter and Length Variations after Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy: One Size Does Not Fit All.

Background: Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) is a useful option for long-term enteral nutrition. Low-profile gastrostomy tubes ("buttons") may afterward be placed in the stomach through the abdominal wall following maturation of the preexisting ostomy. Regular verification is essential since inadequate sizing is associated with accidental exteriorization or food leakage.

CC-CLEAR (Colon Capsule Cleansing Assessment and Report): the novel scale to evaluate the clinical impact of bowel preparation in capsule colonoscopy - a multicentric validation study.

Background: Colon Capsule Cleansing Assessment and Report (CC-CLEAR) is a novel quantitative bowel preparation scale for colon capsule.

Aim: The aim of this study is to validate the association between CC-CLEAR's classification and major CC outcomes: lesion detection rate, surveillance recommendations and post-CC endoscopic treatment.

Methods: Multicentric cohort of consecutive CCs.

RHEMITT score: Predicting the risk of mid gastrointestinal rebleeding after small bowel capsule endoscopy: A prospective validation.

Background And Aim: The RHEMITT score (Renal disease; Heart failure; Endoscopic findings; Major bleeding; Incomplete SBCE; Tobacco; Treatment by enteroscopy) was the first score to accurately predict the individual risk of small bowel rebleeding after capsule endoscopy (SBCE). The aim of the study is on the prospective validation of the RHEMITT score.

Methods: Cohort of consecutive patients with mid-gastrointestinal bleeding (MGIB) submitted to SBCE and followed prospectively, during at least 12 months, since 2017 until 2020.

Does Perianal Disease Influence the Efficacy of Combination Therapy in Crohn's Disease?

Background: Perianal disease is associated with a disabling course of Crohn's disease (CD). We aim to study the impact of perianal disease on CD remission rates, after a 1-year course of infliximab in combination therapy with azathioprine.

Methods: This was a retrospective, single-center cohort study, including consecutive CD patients on combination therapy, followed for 1 year since induction.

Colon Capsule CLEansing Assessment and Report (CC-CLEAR): a new approach for evaluation of the quality of bowel preparation in capsule colonoscopy.

Background And Aims: Current colon capsule (CC) cleansing grading scales rely on subjective parameters and lack proper interobserver agreement. We should strive for higher intra- and interobserver agreement for the evaluation of the cleansing quality of CCs. Here we sought to validate a new grading scale for the evaluation of CC cleansing.

Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy: dealing with the issue of dislodgement.

Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy (PEG) is accepted as an efficient method to provide long-term enteral nutrition. PEG accidental dislodgement (device exteriorization confirmed by expert evaluation) rate is high and can lead to major morbidity. To identify independent risk factors for PEG accidental dislodgement.

RHEMITT Score: Predicting the Risk of Rebleeding for Patients with Mid-Gastrointestinal Bleeding Submitted to Small Bowel Capsule Endoscopy.

Introduction: Small bowel capsule endoscopy (SBCE) is the gold standard for mid-gastrointestinal bleeding (MGIB). No score has been developed to predict the risk of small bowel rebleeding after SBCE.

Objective: Creating a predictive small bowel rebleeding risk score for MGIB, after initial SBCE.

How should we select suspected Crohn's disease patients for capsule enteroscopy?

In suspected Crohn's disease (CD), non-diagnostic ileocolonoscopies are often followed by small bowel capsule endoscopy (SBCE). Adequate pre-selection of patients for SBCE is a key to optimize allocation of resources. We aimed to establish a rational approach for the CD diagnostic workflow, based on biochemical profile of patients with suspected CD, targeting an optimization of patients' selection for SBCE.
