Article Synopsis
- A multicenter study assessed the safety and mid-term outcomes of classical laparoscopic and endoscopic cooperative surgery (LECS) for treating gastric submucosal tumors (G-SMTs) following national health insurance coverage.
- The study involved 201 patients across 21 institutions from April 2014 to March 2016, identifying classical LECS as the most common procedure performed, with a good resection rate and manageable complications.
- Results indicated that while most surgeries had favorable outcomes, postoperative complications occurred in 5% of cases, emphasizing the general effectiveness of these methods in clinical practice.
Background And Aim: Disease burden estimation allows clinicians and policymakers to plan for future healthcare needs. Although advances have been made in gastroenterology, as Japan has an aging population, disease burden assessment is important. We aimed to report gastrointestinal disease burden in Japan since 1990 and project changes through to 2035.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFAims: Studies detailing endoscopic findings and hemostatic interventions for upper gastrointestinal bleeding after cardiovascular surgery are scarce. We conducted this study to determine the frequency and findings of emergent esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) after cardiovascular surgery and the effect of bleeding requiring hemostatic intervention on clinical outcomes.
Methods And Results: We retrospectively reviewed records of emergent EGD examinations conducted within 30 days after cardiovascular surgery at a tertiary referral center in Japan from April 2011 to March 2020.
Background And Aim: Although gastric acid suppressants such as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and histamine-2 receptor antagonists (H2RAs) are considered safe, the consequences of hypochlorhydria and hypergastrinemia caused by chronic use are unclear. This study aimed to investigate the association between the chronic use of gastric acid suppressants and high-risk colorectal polyps, focusing on polyp size.
Methods: A population-based, nested case-control study was conducted using data from the Japanese Diagnosis Procedure Combination database between 2014 and 2019.
Background And Aim: Although hemodialysis (HD) is a strong risk factor for postendoscopic sphincterotomy (ES) bleeding, additional risk factors in HD patients remain unclear. There is no model for predicting post-ES bleeding risk in HD patients. Therefore, we conducted a retrospective multicenter study to reveal these risk factors and develop a predictive model of post-ES bleeding in HD patients.
