Restorative Proctocolectomy in Ulcerative Colitis: Effect of Preoperative Immunomodulatory Therapy on Postoperative Complications and Pouch Failure

TL;DR: Preoperative use of corticosteroids may increase pouch failure rate, but the risk is still minor in high-volume centers performing ileal pouch surgery, and anti-tumor necrosis factor agents were not associated with postoperative complications.

Early Initiation of Antitumor Necrosis Factor Therapy Reduces Postoperative Recurrence of Crohn's Disease Following Ileocecal Resection.

TL;DR: Early initiation of an anti-TNF agent within 4 weeks following an ICR was associated with a reduction in POR and Vedolizumab or ustekinumab, at any time following surgery, was not associated withA reduction inPOR, although sample size was limited.

Evaluation of the Ventral Hernia Working Group classification for long-term outcome using English Hospital Episode Statistics: a population study

TL;DR: In this paper, a modified version of the VHWG classification of ventral/incisional hernia (IH) was developed by expert consensus in 2010, and Kanters et al. evaluated the modified system for predicting hernia recurrence.

IBD in the New World, Old World, and Your World

TL;DR: These epidemiologic patterns suggest that IBD is primarily driven by environmental exposures associated with the westernization of society, and the rising incidence in newly industrialized countries will require these countries to adapt their healthcare systems to accommodate patients suffering from IBD.

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.
