Article Synopsis
- This study examined the prevalence and predictors of serrated lesions, significant precursors to colorectal cancer, among a sample of patients in Italy during colonoscopy over several months.* -
- Out of nearly 2,500 colonoscopies conducted, 173 serrated lesions were found, making up 7% of the total, with a notable occurrence in the left colon and among serrated adenomas in the proximal colon.* -
- Key predictors for identifying these lesions included younger patient age, right-sided colon location, non-polypoid shapes, and smaller lesion sizes, while no specific predictors were found for serrated adenomas.*
Predictors of favourable outcome in non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding: implications for early discharge?
Dig Liver Dis
March 2014
Gastroenterology Hospital Maresca, Torre del Greco, Italy; Gastroenterology Hospital Curto, Polla, Italy.
Background: There is a lack of validated predictors on which to decide the timing of discharge in patients already hospitalized for upper nonvariceal bleeding.
Aims: Identify factors that appear to protect nonvariceal bleeders from the development of negative outcome (rebleeding, surgery, death).
Methods: Secondary analysis of two prospective multicenter studies.
Predicting mortality in patients with in-hospital nonvariceal upper GI bleeding: a prospective, multicenter database study.
Gastrointest Endosc
May 2014
ACO San Filippo Neri, Rome, Italy.
Background: Nonvariceal upper GI bleeding (NVUGIB) that occurs in patients already hospitalized for another condition is associated with increased mortality, but outcome predictors have not been consistently identified.
Objective: To assess clinical outcomes of NVUGIB and identify predictors of mortality from NVUGIB in patients with in-hospital bleeding compared with outpatients.
Design: Secondary analysis of prospectively collected data from 2 nationwide multicenter databases.
Mortality from nonulcer bleeding is similar to that of ulcer bleeding in high-risk patients with nonvariceal hemorrhage: a prospective database study in Italy.
Gastrointest Endosc
February 2012
Division of Gastroenterology, Hospital Curto, Polla, Italy.
Background: Nonulcer causes of bleeding are often regarded as minor, ie, associated with a lower risk of mortality.
Objective: To assess the risk of death from nonulcer causes of upper GI bleeding (UGIB).
Design: Secondary analysis of prospectively collected data from 3 national databases.
