🔬 Meta-analysis

[Meta Analysis Academy @metaacademy_ofc]

🚨 New #MetaMaster Publication Alert 🚨

A systematic review of 14 studies (n=121 patients) assessed the efficacy of TIPS for treating hepatopulmonary syndrome (HPS).

Key findings:
🫁 SpO₂ & PaO₂ improved in 1st month
📉 Effects not sustained beyond 3 months
🧠 HE developed in 22.4% of patients
Conclusion: TIPS offers transient benefit in HPS but lacks long-term efficacy.

This work was conducted under the leadership of Dr. Tulio L. Correa, highlighting the value of expert-driven research through Dr. Alice Gallo de Moraes.

Had so much fun writing this one with @GallodeMoraesMD 🫁

TIPS appears to provide a transient improvement in the oxygenation parameters of patients with HPS

These effects are usually not sustained long-term (> 3 months) ‼️

Is there an association between ABO blood groups and pancreatic cancer? 🩸

Yes ✔️

👉🏼 Patients with blood type O exhibited better overall survival and were less frequently diagnosed with advanced cancer stages (III-IV) upon presentation

Do you perform sphincterotomy during biliary stenting?

I'd like to invite you all to check our recently published meta-analysis on this topic:

Thrilled to share that our meta-analysis has been accepted for publication in Digestive Diseases and Sciences! 🎉
Thank you to all the authors for their support. I’ll share more details once it becomes publicly available! #MedX #endoscopy #gastroenterology

@laura_tee_mdgi @RainbowinGastro @AmCollegeGastro @JVG_GIMD @BIDMC_GI We conducted a meta-regression on all published RCTs, and longer PPI therapy doesn’t appear to correlate with ⬇️ serum calcium levels. This challenges the mechanistic plausibility of PPIs having a harmful impact on 🦴 density

New pub in @GIE_Journal 🤓

👉🏼 EUS-guided coil + glue injection for gastric varices showed lower re🩸 and reintervention rates compared to endoscopic glue injection alone

Presenting our work on #PancreaticCancer at #AACRpan24!

Grateful for the support and grant from @AACR MICR @NCICCHE, and a huge thank you to Dr. @BrunoBockorny for your guidance throughout this project!

[Otavio C. Martins @OtavioCMartins]

Does the addition of endoscopic sphincterotomy to BS reduce the risk for PEP?
In our new systematic review and meta-analysis published at @GIE_Journal, we found no significant difference between the ES and non-ES groups. However, bleeding rates were higher when ES was performed.

New pub alert! 💩

👉🏼 In patients with Crohn’s with prior anti-TNF failure, ustekinumab showed higher SFR and lower rates of treatment discontinuation than vedolizumab.
