    Abstract Acute pancreatitis (AP) clinic has a wide spectrum ranging from asymptomatic cases to mortality. Early diagnosis and prediction are of great importance to prevent mortality in AP patients. Many prognostic scoring systems have been developed for AP to date. At the time of the initial assessment of attendance to the emergency department (ED), it is impractical to use existing prognostic scoring systems for patients with a diagnosis of AP in most patients. The prognostic performances of radiological and clinical scoring systems of 329 patients diagnosed with acute pancreatitis were compared in terms of C-reactive protein-albumin ratio (CAR) levels, mortality and severity according to Balthazar score. It was observed that the CAR value increased as the AP severity increased. For mortality estimation, the ROC curve was used for sensitivity, specificity, and cut-off values for each scoring system for CAR. When mild pancreatitis and severe pancreatitis were compared according to Balthazar score, the differences between CAR were statistically significant and positive correlations were present. The CAR value has been shown to be a useful clinical tool that can be used with its high predictive value. CAR has the advantages of being easily accessible, inexpensive, and having moderately high diagnostic power to predict AP severity.

    Abstract Background and objectives: Hyperlipasemia is highly prevalent among coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of lipase activity, measured at the time of admission, on the clinical course and mortality in COVID-19 patients.
    Methods: The population of this study comprised 12,139 patients who were hospitalized due to COVID-19 between June 2020 and June 2021 in a pandemic hospital. Of these, 8819 patients were excluded from the study due to missing data, four patients were excluded due to a diagnosis of acute pancreatitis (according to the revised Atlanta criteria), and 72 patients were excluded due to alcohol use or having a history of chronic pancreatitis. The final study sample consisted of the remaining 3244 COVID-19 patients. Laboratory results, intensive care unit (ICU) follow-up periods, the need for mechanical ventilation, and mortality rates were compared between the normal lipase activity and high lipase activity groups.
    Results: There were 968 (29.8%) patients with high lipase activity at the time of admission. The rate of ICU admission was 36.1% vs. 9.9% (p < 0.001), mechanical ventilation requirement rates were 33.7% vs. 8.3% (p < 0.001), and mortality rates were as 24.6% vs. 6.4% (p < 0.001) in the high lipase activity group compared to the normal lipase activity group. Multivariate regression analysis revealed that high lipase activity was an independent factor in predicting mortality in hospitalized COVID-19 patients (odds ratio [OR]: 3.191, p < 0.001).
    Conclusion: Elevated lipase activity without acute pancreatitis at the time of admission in COVID-19 patients was determined as an independent predictor of poor prognosis.

    Abstract Background: Prolongation of cecal intubation time (CIT) directly affects the comfort of the patient and the colonoscopist. In this study, the effectiveness of using an abdominal binder (AB) during colonoscopy on procedure time and colonoscopy outcomes was investigated.
    Methods: We conducted a parallel randomized double-blind sham-device-controlled study of patients who underwent elective outpatient colonoscopy between 1 May 2020, and 31 August 2020. Participants were randomly assigned to AB (
    Results: A total of 346 patients were enrolled in the study. The mean CIT was similar between groups (AB group 240 secs, control group 250 secs,
    Conclusion: AB use in selected patients may be advantageous during colonoscopy because it reduces the need for analgesics and post-procedure pain, and reduces the need for auxiliary maneuvers in relatively young and obese patients.

    Abstract The effect of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2, which has infected more than 765 million people in the world to date, has decreased gradually, but the effect of late complications after the disease has begun to increase. Post-coronavirus disease 2019 cholangiopathy can be considered as one of the late complications identified in patients recovering from SARS-CoV-2 infection. A 38-year-old man was admitted to our emergency department with fever up to 39,5ºC, dry cough, anosmia, and dyspnea for 4 days. In the chest computed tomography, extensive opacity areas were compatible with multifocal pneumonia. A throat swab confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection. The patient was treated in the intensive care unit with mechanical ventilator support during 4 weeks. A significant increase in cholestasis enzymes was observed in the patient's control blood. The results of Magnetic Resonance Cholangiopancreatography, Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangio Pancreatography and liver biopsy performed for the etiology of the patient were compatible with post-COVID-19 cholangiopathy. Liver transplantation from a living donor was performed in the patient whose cholangiopathy continued in the first year of follow-up. The patient's clinical course was positive after liver transplantation. It emphasizes that despite the improvement in the lung involvement of COVID-19, the virus can cause long-term liver damage. Liver transplantation may sometimes be required in the treatment of post-COVID-19 cholangiopathy, as in our patient. The persistence of the patient's liver disease for approximately 1 year after Covid-19 and its positive course after liver transplantation show that post-COVID-19 cholangiopathy is a suitable indication for transplantation. The persistence of elevated cholestasis enzymes and bilirubin values after recovery from COVID-19 may help identify patients with post-COVID-19 cholangiopathy in the early period. Early recognition of the occurrence of post-COVID-19 cholangiopathy is important to decide the appropriate course of action.

    Abstract Background: Laparoscopic surgery for colorectal cancer is mostly performed in university hospitals or experienced centers. This study aimed at determining the learning curve of laparoscopic surgery for colorectal cancer at a new regional state hospital.
    Patients and methods: Clinico-pathological data of 106 consecutive patients who underwent laparoscopic surgery for colorectal cancer at a new regional state hospital between August 2018 and September 2021 were prospectively recorded and analyzed. All surgeries were performed by a single inexperienced surgeon without supervision. The primary outcome of the study was the operative time, which was used for a Cumulative Sum (CUSUM) analysis of the learning curve. The secondary outcomes included a comparison of preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative outcomes during the learning curve period.
    Results: According to the CUSUM analysis, the learning curve consisted of three unique phases: phase 1 [the initial learning period (cases 1-53)], phase 2 [the consolidation period (cases 54-68)], and phase 3 [the experienced period (cases 69-106)]. Of the intraoperative outcomes, operative time and estimated blood loss were significantly reduced from phase 1 to phase 3 (p<0.001). Of the postoperative outcomes, time to pass stool (p<0.05), time to oral feeding (p=0.001), drain removal time (p<0.001), and length of hospital stay (p=0.042) were shorter in phase 3 compared to phases 1 and 2. Of the histopathological results, the specimen length and the number of harvested lymph nodes increased with experience (p=0.001).
    Conclusions: The present results suggest that a surgeon at a new regional state hospital must experience 53-68 cases to achieve competence in laparoscopic colorectal cancer surgery.

    Abstract Objective This study aims to determine the factors that prolong cecal intubation time (CIT) and determine the effect of obesity on CIT measured using multiple indexes. Methods Patients who underwent elective colonoscopy between July 10, 2020, and January 20, 2021, were evaluated in this prospective observational study. Age, gender, constipation, bowel preparation, presence of diverticulosis, previous surgery history, auxiliary maneuver and additional analgesic requirement, cecum intubation length (CL) and obesity indices [body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), waist-to-height ratio (WHtR)] were analyzed. Factors affecting CIT were assessed by both univariate and multivariate logistic regression (LR) analyses. Results A total of 512 patients were analyzed. Mean CIT was 5.6 ± 1.6 min, and median CIT was 5.17 min. The CIT median was ≤5.17 min in 264 (51.5%) of the patients, and the CIT median was >5.17 min in 248 (48.5%). In the univariate LR results, young age, constipation, poor bowel preparation, increased CL, additional analgesic requirement, low WHtR, and low BMI (<25 kg/m2) were the factors that prolonged CIT (p <0.05). In the multivariate LR analysis results, WHtR >0.5 and BMI >30 kg/m2 were found to be independent factors that decrease CIT [OR: 0.01 (0.01 0.03) p <0.001; OR: 0.28 (0.13 0.57) p <0.001]. Conclusion Younger age, low WHtR, low BMI, increased CL, constipation, inadequate bowel preparation, and the use of extra analgesics were found to be associated with longer CIT. When all factors were evaluated together, obesity measured by only WHtR (>0.5) and BMI (>30 kg/m2) were the best predictors of decreased CIT.

    Abstract Background: Several risk scores have been developed to predict hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) risk in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients. The majority of risk scores are based on pretreatment variables that are no longer considered risk factors for HCC development due to the suppression of hepatitis B virus replication early in the course of potent antiviral treatment in most patients. The PAGE-B score, which is based on platelet levels, age and sex, has been shown to accurately predict HCC risk in CHB patients on antiviral treatment in various populations.
    Aim: We aimed to evaluate the PAGE-B score in predicting HCC risk in Turkish CHB patients on antiviral treatment.
    Methods: In this study, we recruited 742 CHB patients who had been treated with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate or entecavir for ≥ 1 year. Risk groups were determined according to the PAGE-B scores as follows: ≤ 9, low; 10-17, moderate and ≥ 18, high. The cumulative HCC incidences in each risk group were computed using Kaplan-Meier analysis and were compared using the log-rank test. The accuracy of the PAGE-B score in predicting HCC risk was evaluated using a time-dependent area under the receiver operating characteristic (AUROC) curve at all study time points. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to assess the risk factors for HCC development.
    Results: The mean follow-up time was 54.7 ± 1.2 mo. HCC was diagnosed in 26 patients (3.5%). The cumulative HCC incidences at 1, 3, 5 and 10 years were 0%, 0%, 0% and 0.4% in the PAGE-B low-risk group; 0%, 1.2%, 1.5% and 2.1% in the PAGE-B moderate-risk group; and 5%, 11.7%, 12.5%, and 15% in the PAGE-B high-risk group, respectively (log-rank
    Conclusion: The PAGE-B score is a practical tool to predict HCC risk in Turkish patients with CHB and may be helpful to improve surveillance strategies.
