Contemporary Management of Ulcerative Colitis

TL;DR: The newest evidence-based data on management of ulcerative colitis discusses risk-stratification, optimizing medical therapies, and surgical outcomes of UC, and finds the superiority of combination therapy with azathioprine over monotherapy with infliximab or azATHioprine alone.

Public versus Private Drug Insurance and Outcomes of Patients Requiring Biologic Therapies for Inflammatory Bowel Disease.

TL;DR: IBD patients in Ontario with public drug coverage experienced greater delays in access to anti-TNF therapy than privately insured patients and have a higher rate of hospitalizations and ED visits related to IBD.

The risk of disabling, surgery and reoperation in Crohn's disease - A decision tree-based approach to prognosis.

TL;DR: The decision-tree based approach used in this study, with demographic and clinical variables, has shown to be a valid and useful approach to depict such risks of disabling, surgery and reoperation.

The impact of biologics in surgical outcomes in ulcerative colitis

TL;DR: The aim of this review is to describe all relevant data available and briefly summarize the real impact of biologics in surgical outcomes in ulcerative colitis.

Clinical Predictors of the Risk of Early Colectomy in Ulcerative Colitis: A Population-based Study.

TL;DR: Patients admitted to hospital with UC within 3 years of diagnosis have a high risk of early colectomy, particularly true in middle-aged men, those living in rural areas, and those without response to infliximab.

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.
