    Abstract Background and objectives: Increasing evidence suggests a prognostic role of sarcopenia in pancreatic cancer patients. The aim of this study was to assess the influence of sarcopenia on treatment outcomes after EUS-guided celiac plexus neurolysis (CPN).
    Materials and methods: Data regarding 215 patients treated with EUS CPN between 2004 and 2019 were reviewed. Determination of body composition was conducted on contrast-enhanced CT scan, and pain response was considered as the primary outcome. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression was performed to identify the independent predictors of pain response.
    Results: Treatment was successful in 187 patients (86.9%). The median age was 62 (range 39-84) years, and most patients were male (61.8%). Of the whole study population, 139 patients (64.6%) were defined as sarcopenic, of which 116 (83.4%) responded to the treatment and 5 (3.5%) experienced a complete response. Among 76 nonsarcopenic participants, 71 (93.4%) responded to the treatment and 22 (28.9%) obtained a complete response (P = 0.03 and <0.001, respectively). The median duration of pain relief was 8 (2-10) and 15 (8-16) weeks in sarcopenic and nonsarcopenic patients, respectively (P = 0.01). The median overall survival after neurolysis was 4 months (3-5) in sarcopenic participants and 7 months (6-8) in nonsarcopenic participants (P = 0.05). Tumoral stage, interval from the diagnosis to treatment, and sarcopenia resulted as significant prognostic factors for treatment response both in univariate and multivariate regression analyses. No severe treatment-related adverse events were reported in the whole study population, with no difference between the two groups.
    Conclusions: Sarcopenia represents a predictor of poorer response to EUS CPN.

    Abstract Background and aim: Evidence of a superior efficacy of EndoRings over standard colonoscopy in improving colon adenoma detection rate is lacking. We aimed to compare EndoRings and standard colonoscopy through a pairwise meta-analysis of randomized trials.
    Methods: We searched the PubMed/Medline and Embase database through July 2020 and identified five randomized controlled trials (recruiting 2751 patients). The primary outcome was adenoma detection rate; secondary outcomes included advanced and sessile serrated adenoma detection rate, mean adenoma per colonoscopy, cecal intubation rate, and time. We performed pairwise meta-analysis through a random-effects model and expressed data as risk ratio and 95% confidence interval.
    Results: Overall, pooled adenoma detection rate was 53.9% (49-58.8%) with EndoRings and 49.1% (42-56.1%) with standard colonoscopy (risk ratio 1.05, 0.95-1.17). Advanced adenoma detection (risk ratio 0.91, 0.74-1.12), sessile serrated detection rate (risk ratio 1.10, 0.81-1.50), and polyp detection rate (risk ratio 1.06, 0.98-1.15) were similar between the two groups. Likewise, mean adenoma per colonoscopy (mean difference 0.17, -0.09 to 0.43), cecal intubation rate (risk ratio 1.00, 0.99-1.01), and cecal intubation time (mean difference 0.20 min, -0.34 to 0.74) did not differ between the two add-on devices. No serious adverse event was observed.
    Conclusion: EndoRings did not seem to significantly improve the diagnostic performance of colonoscopy. Further trials are needed to confirm these results.

    Abstract Quality is a key focus for gastrointestinal endoscopy and main international gastroenterology societies instituted specific task forces focused on this issue. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) represents one of the most fascinating fields to explore in gastrointestinal endoscopy due to its relatively limited availability out of high-volume centers. This leads to a particular need to define widely accepted quality indicators (QIs) and the ways to measure them. The current manuscript reviews these indicators in light of their impact on common clinical practice.

    Abstract Background: Whether endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) contrast-enhanced fine-needle aspiration (CH-EUS-FNA) determines superior results in comparison to standard EUS-FNA in tissue acquisition of pancreatic masses remains unclear. The aim of this study was to compare these two techniques on a series of patients with solid pancreatic lesions.
    Methods: 362 patients underwent EUS-FNA (2008-2019), after the propensity score matching of two groups were compared; 103 treated with CH-EUS-FNA (group 1) and 103 with standard EUS-FNA (group 2). The primary outcome was the diagnostic accuracy. Secondary outcomes were sensitivity, specificity, and sample adequacy.
    Results: Diagnostic sensitivity was 87.6% in group 1 and 80% in group 2 (
    Conclusions: CH-EUS-FNA does not appear to be superior to standard EUS-FNA in patients with pancreatic masses.
