| 1 | Do inflammatory bowel disease patient preferences from treatment outcomes differ by ethnicity and gender?A cross-sectional observational study显示文摘BACKGROUND Inflammatory bowel disease(IBD)patients’expectations of treatment outcomes may differ by ethnicity.AIM To investigate treatment preferences of Jewish and Arabs patients.METHODS This prospective survey ranked outcomes treatment preferences among Arab IBD patients,based on the 10 IBD-disk items compared to historical data of Jews.An anonymous questionnaire in either Arabic or Hebrew was distributed among IBD patients.Patients were required to rank 10 statements describing different aspects of IBD according to their importance to the patients as treatment goals.Answers were compared to the answers of a historical group of Jewish patients.RESULTS IBD-disk items of 121 Arabs were compared to 240 Jewish patients.The Jewish patients included more females,[151(62.9%)vs 52(43.3%);P<0.001],higher education level(P=0.02),more urban residence[188(78.3%)vs 54(45.4%);P<0.001],less unemployment[52(21.7%)vs 41(33.9%);P=0.012],higher income level(P<0.001),and more in a partnership[162(67.8%)vs 55(45.4%);P<0.001].Expectations regarding disease symptoms:abdominal pain,energy,and regular defecation ranked highest for both groups.Arabs gave significantly lower rankings(range 4.29-6.69)than Jewish patients(range 6.25-9.03)regarding all items,except for body image.Compared to Arab women,Jewish women attached higher priority to abdominal pain,energy,education/work,sleep,and joint pain.Multivariable regression analysis revealed that higher patient preferences were associated with Jewish ethnicity(OR 4.77;95%CI 2.36-9.61,P<0.001)and disease activity.The more active the disease,the greater the odds ratio for higher ranking of the questionnaire items(1-2 attacks per year:OR 2.13;95%CI 1.02-4.45,P=0.043;and primarily active disease:OR 5.29;95%CI 2.30-12.18,P<0.001).Factors inversely associated with higher patient preference were male gender(OR 0.5;95%CI 0.271-0.935,P=0.030),UC(OR 0.444;95%CI 0.241-0.819,P=0.009),and above average income level(OR 0.267;95%CI:0.124-0.577,P=0.001).CONCLUSION The highest priority for treatment outcomes was symptom relief.,Patients preferences were impacted by ethnicity,gender,and socio-economic disparity.Understanding patients'priorities may improve communication and enable a personalized approach. | Timna Naftali Vered Richter Amir Mari Tawfik Khoury Haim Shirin Efrat Broide | 2022 | World Journal of Clinical Cases2022，10，35： | 0 |
| 2 | Prior abdominal surgery as a potential risk factor for colonic diverticulosis or diverticulitis显示文摘BACKGROUND Abnormal colonic pressure profiles have been associated with an increased risk of colonic diverticulosis.A surgical history is a known risk factor for abdominal adhesions and these may lead to increased intraluminal colonic pressure.AIM To assess whether previous abdominal surgery is associated with colonic divertic-ulosis or diverticulitis.METHODS We analyzed data from a study of patients undergoing colonoscopy for different indications from 2020 through 2021.Patients completed a structured question-naire concerning previous abdominal surgeries,dietary and lifestyle exposures including smoking,alcohol use and co-morbidities.RESULTS Three hundred and fifty-nine patients were included in the study.The mean age was 67.6 and 46%were females.Diabetes mellitus,hypertension,ischemic heart disease,chronic obstructive pulmonary disease,chronic renal failure,and body mass index were similar in the diverticulosis and control groups.The overall prevalence of colonic diverticulosis was 25%(91/359)and 48%of the patients had previous abdominal surgery.As expected,the prevalence of diverticulosis increased with age.There was no difference in the rate of previous abdominal surgery between patients with or without diverticulosis(49%vs 47%,P=0.78).In regards to specific surgeries,inguinal hernia repair was significantly associated with diverticulosis(52%vs 20%,P=0.001),but not diverticulitis.In contrast,appendectomy was not associated with diverticulosis(6%vs 14%,P=0.048).CONCLUSION These findings suggest that post-operative abdominal adhesions inducing high colonic intraluminal pressures do not appear to be the mechanism for diverticula formation.Rather,inguinal hernia and diverticulosis may share similar connective tissue pathologies with no causative relationship between them. | Eran Ariam Vered Richter Anton Bermont Yael Sandler Daniel L Cohen Haim Shirin | 2023 | World Journal of Clinical Cases2023，11，35： | 0 |
| 3 | Cost effectiveness of routine duodenal biopsies in iron deficiency anemia显示文摘AIM To investigate the cost effectiveness of routine small bowel biopsies(SBBs) in patients with iron deficiency anemia(IDA) independent of their celiac disease(CD) serology test results.METHODS We used a state transition Markov model. Two strategies were compared: routine SBBs during esophagogastroduodenoscopy(EGD) in all patients with IDA regardless their celiac serology status(strategy A) vs SBBs only in IDA patients with positive serology(strategy B). The main outcomes were quality adjusted life years(QALY),average cost and the incremental cost effectiveness ratio(ICER). One way sensitivity analysis was performed on all variables and two way sensitivity analysis on selected variables were done. In order to validate the results,a Monte Carlo simulation of 100 sample trials with 10,and an acceptability curve were performed.RESULTS Strategy A of routine SBBs yielded 19.888 QALYs with a cost of $218.10 compared to 19.887 QALYs and $234.17 in strategy B. In terms of cost-effectiveness,strategy A was the dominant strategy,as long as the cost of SBBs stayed less than $67. In addition,the ICER of strategy A was preferable,providing the cost of biopsy stays under $77. Monte Carlo simulation demonstrated that strategy A yielded the same QALY but with lower costs than strategy B. CONCLUSION Our model suggests that EGD with routine SBBs is a cost-effective approach with improved QALYs in patients with IDA when the prevalence of CD is 5% or greater. SBBs should be a routine screening tool for CD among patients with IDA,regardless of their celiac antibody status. | Efrat Broide Shay Matalon Ofra Kriger-Sharabi Vered Richter Haim Shirin Moshe Leshno | 2016 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2016，22，34： | 0 |
