Our aim was to determine the most important treatment strategies used in Europe, to evaluate first-line treatment effectiveness according to year and country. : All first-line empirical treatments registered at AEGREDCap in the European Registry on management (Hp-EuReg) from June 2013 to November 2022.

Methods: The European Registry on the management of infection is an international, multicentre, prospective, non-interventional registry aiming to evaluate the management of -infected patients in Europe.
Objective: To evaluate the use, effectiveness and safety of empirical rescue therapy in third and subsequent treatment lines in Europe.
Design: International, prospective, non-interventional registry of the clinical practice of European gastroenterologists. Data were collected and quality reviewed until October 2021 at Asociación Española de Gastroenterología-Research Electronic Data Capture.
Background And Aims: Validated questionnaires help to minimize diagnostic bias, to standardize symptom assessment and to achieve comparability between studies and centers. In a recent European guideline the adult and the pediatric carbohydrate perception questionnaires (aCPQ and pCPQ), were recommended to be used for the diagnosis of carbohydrate intolerances in adult and pediatric patients. The implementation of this guideline into clinical practice makes availability of validated translations a necessity.

Methods: This international, multicenter, prospective, non-interventional registry aimed to evaluate the decisions and outcomes of H pylori management by European gastroenterologists.
Bacterial antibiotic resistance changes over time depending on multiple factors; therefore, it is essential to monitor the susceptibility trends to reduce the resistance impact on the effectiveness of various treatments. To conduct a time-trend analysis of resistance to antibiotics in Europe. The international prospective European Registry on Management (Hp-EuReg) collected data on all infected adult patients diagnosed with culture and antimicrobial susceptibility testing positive results that were registered at AEG-REDCap e-CRF until December 2020.

The aim of this study was to analyze the impact of this therapeutic association in real life. This is a multicenter, prospective, non-interventional study aimed at evaluating the management of by European gastroenterologists.

Design: Sixty-eight colonoscopists from 29 endoscopic centres participated in the NCCSP from April 2009 to January 2015. Controlled QIs were the percentage of total colonoscopies, adenoma detection rate (ADR), mean adenoma per procedure (MAP), mean adenoma per positive procedure (MAP+), right-sided ADR, sessile serrated lesion (SSL) detection rate, and patient responses to post-procedural questionnaires.
Introduction: The safety of Helicobacter pylori eradication treatments and to what extent adverse events (AEs) influence therapeutic compliance in clinical practice are hardly known. Our aim was to assess the frequency, type, intensity, and duration of AEs, and their impact on compliance, for the most frequently used treatments in the "European Registry on Helicobacter pylori management."
Methods: Systematic prospective noninterventional registry of the clinical practice of European gastroenterologists (27 countries, 300 investigators) on the management of H.
Background: Managing Helicobacter pylori infection requires constant decision making, and each decision is open to possible errors.
Aim: The aim was to evaluate common mistakes in the eradication of H. pylori, based on the "European Registry on Helicobacter pylori management".
We aimed to assess the impact of the first three rounds of the National Colorectal Cancer Screening Program (NCCSP) on CRC incidence and mortality in Slovenia. In NCCSP, we use two fecal immune tests (FITs) and if test is positive patient is referred to colonoscopy. From 2009, we invite Slovenian residents aged 50-69 years, one screening round takes 2 years.

Many early lesions are detected since the introduction of screening programs. The greatest challenge is to distinguish between adenomas with epithelial misplacement (AEM) and adenomas with early carcinoma (AEC), considering the diagnosis affects prognosis and treatment.

Design: International multicentre prospective non-interventional registry starting in 2013 aimed to evaluate the decisions and outcomes in management by European gastroenterologists.
Background: Experience in Helicobacter pylori eradication treatment of patients allergic to penicillin is very scarce. A triple combination with a PPI, clarithromycin (C), and metronidazole (M) is often prescribed as the first option, although more recently the use of a quadruple therapy with PPI, bismuth (B), tetracycline (T), and M has been recommended.
Aim: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of first-line and rescue treatments in patients allergic to penicillin in the "European Registry of H pylori management" (Hp-EuReg).
Background: In the study, we aimed to determine whether regular outpatient controls in patients with alcoholic liver cirrhosis have an impact on their survival and hospitalisation rates.
Patients And Methods: We included patients with liver cirrhosis and regular outpatient controls as a prospective study group and patients with liver cirrhosis who were admitted to hospital only in cases of complications as a retrospective control group. The study was conducted between 2006 and 2011.
Background: Gastric cancer is the fifth most common malignancy in the world with almost one million new cases annually. Helicobacter pylori infection causes 89% of all gastric cancers. Premalignant lesions (atrophy and intestinal metaplasia) develop after several decades of inflammation.
