Short-Term Outcomes for Restorative and Non-Restorative Proctocolectomy in Older Adults

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors compared 30-day outcomes for restorative and non-restorative surgery in older adults with ulcerative colitis and found that patients undergoing restorative surgery were significantly younger (P<0.01), had lower incidences of steroid usage and higher rates of readmission (P = 0.02).

Colectomy rates for ulcerative colitis over time: Navigating the evidence in the era of precision medicine and individualised treatment

TL;DR: Dai et al. as mentioned in this paper conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of the literature to assess the rates of colectomy for ulcerative colitis over time, also comparing the pre-biologic vs biologic drug eras.

The long-term effect on surgery-free survival of biological compared to conventional therapy in Crohn’s disease in real world-data: a propensity-score matched study

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors evaluated the impact of biological versus conventional therapy on surgery-free survival time (from the diagnosis to the first bowel resection) and on the overall risk of surgery in patients with Crohn's disease (CD) who were never with the surgical option.
Journal ArticleDOI

Postoperative Crohn's Disease.

TL;DR: In this paper , a randomized controlled study suggested that infliximab is more likely to prevent endoscopic recurrence than placebo, but other biologicals have been used as well.

Measuring inconsistency in meta-analyses

TL;DR: A new quantity is developed, I 2, which the authors believe gives a better measure of the consistency between trials in a meta-analysis, which is susceptible to the number of trials included in the meta- analysis.

Quantifying heterogeneity in a meta‐analysis

TL;DR: It is concluded that H and I2, which can usually be calculated for published meta-analyses, are particularly useful summaries of the impact of heterogeneity, and one or both should be presented in publishedMeta-an analyses in preference to the test for heterogeneity.

Operating characteristics of a rank correlation test for publication bias.

TL;DR: In this paper, an adjusted rank correlation test is proposed as a technique for identifying publication bias in a meta-analysis, and its operating characteristics are evaluated via simulations, and the test statistic is a direct statistical analogue of the popular funnel-graph.
