    Abstract Background and aims: The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of telemedicine in improving healthcare access and reducing costs. This study aimed to assess order compliance in the virtual versus in-person setting for the initial evaluation of abdominal pain (AP) prior to and during the pandemic.
    Methods: A retrospective evaluation of virtual and in-person outpatient gastroenterology visits for AP were identified through natural language processing from January 2019 through September 2021 at the Cleveland Clinic main campus and regional hospitals in Ohio. We assessed the number and type of orders placed for patients and measured compliance through order completion. This study received Institutional Review Board approval (IRB 21-514).
    Results: Among 20,356 patients at their initial visit, 79% had orders placed, of which 40% had pandemic in-person visits, 13% had pandemic virtual visits, and 47% had pre-pandemic in-person visits. Patients seen virtually were 65.1% less likely to complete orders compared to patients seen in-person (p < 0.001) during the pandemic. Patients seen in a pandemic virtual setting were 71.0% less likely to complete imaging orders (p < 0.001), 82.6% less likely to complete procedure orders (p < 0.001), and 60.5% less likely to complete lab orders (p < 0.001).
    Conclusion: Compared with in-person visits, patients seen virtually for their first presentation of AP were less likely to complete labs, imaging, and endoscopic evaluations. In-person visits were more successful with patient order completion during the pandemic. These findings highlight that virtual visits for AP, despite convenience, may compromise care delivery and warrant additional care coordination to achieve compliance with medical recommendations.

    Abstract Purpose of review: Extraintestinal manifestations (EIMs) of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) represent a complex array of disease processes with variable epidemiologic penetrance, genetic antecedents, and phenotypic presentations. The purpose of this review is to provide an overview of primary and secondary EIMs as well as salient treatment strategies utilized.
    Recent findings: While the genetic antecedents remain incompletely understood, the treatment armamentarium for EIMs has expanded with new pharmaceutical drug classes that effectively treat IBD. EIMs are an increasingly recognized complication of IBD that require prompt recognition, multidisciplinary management, and a multifaceted therapeutic approach. This review highlights the complexities and ramifications of EIM management and offers therapeutic guidance.

    Abstract Non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding, the most common etiology of which is peptic ulcer disease, remains a persistent challenge despite a reduction in both its incidence and mortality. Both pharmacologic and endoscopic techniques have been developed to achieve hemostasis, with varying degrees of success. Among the pharmacologic therapies, proton pump inhibitors remain the mainstay of treatment, as they reduce the risk of rebleeding and requirement for recurrent endoscopic evaluation. Tranexamic acid, a derivative of the amino acid lysine, is an antifibrinolytic agent whose role requires further investigation before application. Endoscopically delivered pharmacotherapy, including Hemospray (Cook Medical), EndoClot (EndoClot Plus Inc.), and Ankaferd Blood Stopper (Ankaferd Health Products), in addition to standard epinephrine, show promise in this regard, although their mechanisms of action require further investigation. Non-pharmacologic endoscopic techniques use one of the following two methods to achieve hemostasis: ablation or mechanical tamponade, which may involve using endoscopic clips, cautery, argon plasma coagulation, over-the-scope clipping devices, radiofrequency ablation, and cryotherapy. This review aimed to highlight these novel and fundamental hemostatic strategies and the research supporting their efficacy.

    Abstract Purpose: Multigene panels allow simultaneous testing of genes involved in cancer predisposition. Thyroid cancer (TCa) is a component tumor of several cancer predisposition syndromes, but the complete landscape of germline variants predisposing to TCa remains to be determined.
    Methods: Clinical information and genetic test results were reviewed from over 170,000 individuals who had multigene panel testing for hereditary cancer at a single diagnostic laboratory. Germline pathogenic and likely pathogenic variants ("pathogenic variants") were examined among individuals with TCa. A cohort with breast cancer (BCa) was examined to serve as a comparison group and to determine the added contribution of TCa to the ascertainment of genetic risk.
    Results: Of 3134 individuals with TCa, 291 (9.3%) were found to have one or more pathogenic variant(s). Among 904 individuals with TCa alone, 7.5% had one or more pathogenic variant(s), similar to those with BCa alone (8.4%). In all groups, CHEK2 was the gene with the highest number of pathogenic variants identified, with a significantly increased frequency among individuals with a history of both thyroid and BCa compared to BCa alone.
    Conclusions: A high prevalence of germline pathogenic variants was observed among individuals with TCa referred for hereditary cancer genetic testing, even in the absence of other cancer diagnoses. These data suggest that TCa may be an under-recognized component of cancer predisposition syndromes.

    Abstract Acute pancreatitis represents a disorder characterized by acute necroinflammatory changes of the pancreas and is histologically characterized by acinar cell destruction. Diagnosed clinically with the Revised Atlanta Criteria, and with alcohol and cholelithiasis/choledocholithiasis as the two most prominent antecedents, acute pancreatitis ranks first amongst gastrointestinal diagnoses requiring admission and 21st amongst all diagnoses requiring hospitalization with estimated costs approximating 2.6 billion dollars annually. Complications arising from acute pancreatitis follow a progression from pancreatic/peripancreatic fluid collections to pseudocysts and from pancreatic/peripancreatic necrosis to walled-off necrosis that typically occur over the course of a 4-week interval. Treatment relies heavily on fluid resuscitation and nutrition with advanced endoscopic techniques and cholecystectomy utilized in the setting of gallstone pancreatitis. When necessity dictates a drainage procedure (persistent abdominal pain, gastric or duodenal outlet obstruction, biliary obstruction, and infection), an endoscopic ultrasound with advanced endoscopic techniques and technology rather than surgical intervention is increasingly being utilized to manage symptomatic pseudocysts and walled-off pancreatic necrosis by performing a cystogastrostomy.

    Abstract Background and aim: Informed consent for endoscopy is variable across institutions and remains understudied in gastrointestinal endoscopy. This study aims to standardize informed consent for screening and diagnostic colonoscopies with a supplemental video tool that includes the key components of informed consent.
    Methods: A video tool was developed that incorporated the key components of informed consent for colonoscopy. In addition, a 7-question survey was developed to query patients on core aspects of informed consent and satisfaction with the informed consent process. Patients undergoing elective outpatient colonoscopy with conscious sedation were randomized to traditional consent or consent with the addition of a video tool. A pilot study determined the sample size. Traditional consent was standard of practice before the procedure. Patients in the video tool group watched the video tool in the preprocedure area followed by traditional consent. Both groups had the opportunity to address questions with the attending physician before the procedure. All patients were contacted 1 to 2 days following the colonoscopy to answer the question survey.
    Results: A total of 110 patients were eligible for participation, and 91 were included in the final data analysis. Subjects in the video tool group demonstrated significantly higher recall of key aspects of informed consent and higher satisfaction with the informed consent process versus the traditional consent group. The history of prior colonoscopy was similar between both groups. Mean endoscopy operation metrics were not negatively impacted by the inclusion of the video tool.
    Conclusion: Patients undergoing screening and diagnostic colonoscopies who received informed consent supplemented by a video tool had a higher recall of core aspects of informed consent and higher satisfaction with the process, with no impact on procedural times.
