RESUMO
Background and Aims: Conventional complication rates for gastrointestinal endoscopic procedures may underestimate the broader risk represented by postprocedure unplanned hospital visits (UHVs). We aimed to characterize UHVs for procedures in Maryland and the District of Columbia from 2014 to 2018. Methods: Data for all esophagogastroduodenoscopies (EGDs), colonoscopies, combined EGDs/colonoscopies, and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatographies (ERCPs) performed between 2014 and 2018 was provided by the Maryland Health Information Exchange (Chesapeake Regional Information System for our Patients'). Patient demographics, timing of UHV within 14 days postprocedure, distance traveled, facility site ("home" vs "away" institution), and International Classification of Diseases codes for the UHV were analyzed. Only UHVs potentially attributable to the endoscopic procedures were included. Results: Among 304,786 endoscopic procedures and 3904 unplanned visits, the 14-day UHV rates were 1.7%, 0.6%, 1.3%, and 5.2% for EGD, colonoscopy, combined EGD/colonoscopy, and ERCP procedures respectively. From 2014 to 2018, the UHV rate on an annual basis remained stable for all procedure types except for ERCPs which increased. Patients who experienced UHVs were statistically different in sex, race, age, and distance traveled. UHVs most often occurred on postprocedure day 1; emergency department visits occurred most commonly. UHVs for all procedures, except ERCPs, were more likely to occur at a "home" institution. Overall, patients were more likely to be admitted postprocedure at an "away" institution. Conclusion: Postendoscopic procedure UHV rates were generally low. However, UHV rates for EGDs and colonoscopies were significantly higher than conventional complication rates. As 30%-60% of all unplanned visits occurred at an "away" institution, endoscopists should consider a broad approach to detecting postprocedure complications and not rely on a single institution for data capture.
RESUMO
Biomass cookstove food preparation is linked to aero-digestive cancers, mediated by ingested and inhaled carcinogens (e.g., heterocyclic amines, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons). We investigated the association between gastric adenocarcinoma, wood cookstove use, H. pylori CagA infection and risk modification by variants in genes that metabolize and affect the internal dose of carcinogens. We conducted a population-based, case-control study (814 incident cases, 1049 controls) in rural Honduras, a high-incidence region with a homogeneous diet and endemic H. pylori infection, primarily with the high-risk CagA genotype. We investigated factors including wood cookstove use, H. pylori CagA serostatus, and 15 variants from 7 metabolizing genes, and the interactions between wood stove use and the genetic variants. Male sex (OR 2.0, 1.6-2.6), age (OR 1.04, 1.03-1.05), wood cookstove use (OR 2.3, 1.6-3.3), and CagA serostatus (OR 3.5, 2.4-5.1) and two SNPs in CYP1B1 (rs1800440 and rs1056836) were independently associated with gastric cancer in multivariate analysis. In the final multivariate model, a highly significant interaction (OR 3.1, 1.2-7.8) was noted between wood cookstove use and the rs1800440 metabolizing genotype, highlighting an important gene-environment interaction. Lifetime wood cookstove use associates with gastric cancer risk in the high-incidence regions of Central America, and the association is dependent on the rs1800440 genotype in CYP1B1. H. pylori CagA infection, wood cookstove use and the rs1800440 genotype, all of which are highly prevalent, informs who is at greatest risk from biomass cookstove use.

Diet modifies the risk of colorectal cancer (CRC), and inconclusive evidence suggests that yogurt may protect against CRC. We analysed the data collected from two separate colonoscopy-based case-control studies. The Tennessee Colorectal Polyp Study (TCPS) and Johns Hopkins Biofilm Study included 5446 and 1061 participants, respectively, diagnosed with hyperplastic polyp (HP), sessile serrated polyp, adenomatous polyp (AP) or without any polyps. Multinomial logistic regression models were used to derive OR and 95 % CI to evaluate comparisons between cases and polyp-free controls and case-case comparisons between different polyp types. We evaluated the association between frequency of yogurt intake and probiotic use with the diagnosis of colorectal polyps. In the TCPS, daily yogurt intake v. no/rare intake was associated with decreased odds of HP (OR 0·54; 95 % CI 0·31, 0·95) and weekly yogurt intake was associated with decreased odds of AP among women (OR 0·73; 95 % CI 0·55, 0·98). In the Biofilm Study, both weekly yogurt intake and probiotic use were associated with a non-significant reduction in odds of overall AP (OR 0·75; 95 % CI 0·54, 1·04) and (OR 0·72; 95 % CI 0·49, 1·06) in comparison with no use, respectively. In summary, yogurt intake may be associated with decreased odds of HP and AP and probiotic use may be associated with decreased odds of AP. Further prospective studies are needed to verify these associations.

Dietary intake of PUFA has been associated with colorectal neoplasm risk; however, results from observational studies have been inconsistent. Most prior studies have utilised self-reported dietary measures to assess fatty acid exposure which might be more susceptible to measurement error and biases compared with biomarkers. The purpose of this study was to determine whether erythrocyte phospholipid membrane PUFA percentages are associated with colorectal adenoma risk. We included data from 904 adenoma cases and 835 polyp-free controls who participated in the Tennessee Colorectal Polyp Study, a large colonoscopy-based case-control study. Erythrocyte membrane PUFA percentages were measured using GC. Conditional logistic regression was used to calculate adjusted OR for risk of colorectal adenomas with erythrocyte membrane PUFA. Higher erythrocyte membrane percentages of arachidonic acid was associated with an increased risk of colorectal adenomas (adjusted OR 1·66; 95 % CI 1·05, 2·62, P trend=0·02) comparing the highest tertile to the lowest tertile. The effect size for arachidonic acid was more pronounced when restricting the analysis to advanced adenomas only. Higher erythrocyte membrane EPA percentages were associated with a trend towards a reduced risk of advanced colorectal adenomas (P trend=0·05). Erythrocyte membrane arachidonic acid percentages are associated with an increased risk of colorectal adenomas.
