Background: Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GORD) is a significant problem after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (SG). This study aimed to assess the long-term effect of SG with an anterior fundoplication on GORD symptoms.
Methods: A single-centre cohort study of all patients who underwent SG with anterior hemifundoplication (SGAF), with a 2:1 SG only comparison group. GORD symptoms were assessed using a structured symptom questionnaire.
Results: SGAF was performed in 36 patients between 2010 and 2015; 26 patients were available for follow-up and 17 of these were followed up for more than 6 years. The comparison group included 53 consecutive contactable patients who underwent SG without fundoplication during the same period. The two patient groups were similar with regard to pre-operative factors, weight loss, and weight regain. After 6 years, 12 (71%) of SGAF patients reported no GORD symptoms compared to 9 (17%) of SG patients. GORD symptoms were no worse in 21 (81%) following SGAF, whereas GORD symptoms worsened (worse or new symptoms) in 22 (58.5%) of patients after SG. PPI use was similar in both groups. Eight of 26 (31%) SGAF patients had some degree of fundoplication dilatation and underwent conversion to SG or RYGB.
Conclusions: SGAF provided superior control of symptomatic GORD than SG in this study. Fundoplication dilatation treated by conversion to standard SG was not uncommon and was the reason for suspending this series. Reducing intragastric pressure and reducing fundoplication volume may alleviate this problem, which may also be overestimated in this pilot study.

Objective: Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GORD) is commonly reported in coeliac disease (CD). However, long-term data on GORD in coeliac patients on a gluten-free diet (GFD) are lacking. We aimed to evaluate the prevalence of GORD and endoscopic lesions in coeliac patients at diagnosis and throughout follow-up.

Background: Major depressive disorder (MDD) is associated with gastrointestinal tract (GIT) disorders, while genetic correlation, pleiotropic loci and shared risk genes remain to be explored.
Methods: Leveraging genome-wide association study statistics for MDD (n = 170,756), peptic ulcer disease (PUD; n = 16,666), gastroesophageal reflux disease (GORD; n = 54,854), PUD and/or GORD and/or medications (PGM; n = 90,175), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS; n = 28,518), and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD; n = 7045), we determined global and local genetic correlations, identified pleiotropic loci, performed gene-level evaluations, and inferred causal associations using bidirectional Mendelian randomization.
Results: We found global correlation of MDD with PUD (r = 0.

Use of a Non-Endoscopic Capsule-Sponge Triage Test for Reflux Symptoms: Results From the NHS England Prospective Real-World Evaluation.

Background: Acid reflux is a common presentation in primary care leading to a high volume of referrals to endoscopy that are often normal.
Aims: To determine whether a non-endoscopic capsule sponge biomarker test could triage patients with low-risk reflux symptoms, reduce endoscopy waiting lists and identify Barrett's oesophagus in a real-world setting.
Methods: Patients with reflux symptoms on NHS endoscopy waiting lists who were offered a capsule sponge (test group) between February 2021 and August 2022 were included in this national multicentre prospective cohort study and compared with eligible patients on the standard endoscopy pathway (counterfactual group).
