    Abstract Esophageal neuroendocrine carcinoma is very rare and highly aggressive. An 85-year-old man with a history of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma in remission presented 4 years after definitive chemoradiation with new-onset dysphagia. Endoscopy with biopsy revealed high-grade malignancy consistent with neuroendocrine carcinoma. Treatment options were limited to chemotherapy because of his metastatic disease, and he unfortunately died 14 months after diagnosis. The occurrence of esophageal neuroendocrine carcinoma in a site of prior squamous cell carcinoma is very uncommon, and this likely represents a case of radiation-induced malignancy. Therefore, when undergoing radiotherapy, patients and providers should discuss the possibility of this life-threatening complication.

    Abstract Background: Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is a chronic gastrointestinal inflammatory condition and has been increasing in prevalence in the United States, with a 30-40% increase over the past few decades. Osteoporosis can be seen in up to 40% of IBD patients. Screening for osteoporosis in IBD patients involves the use of DEXA scans and is recommended by the IBD Cornerstone Committee for select patients, including steroid use > 3 months consecutively or a total of 1 year in the past 2 years, family history of osteoporosis, malnutrition, amenorrheic or post-menopausal. Our quality improvement study looked to improve osteoporosis screening among gastroenterologists.
    Methods: We conducted a retrospective chart review on all IBD patients within the St. Luke's Network and extrapolated data on age (>50 in male and >65 in female), sex, chronic glucocorticoid use (3 month consecutively or cumulative), osteoporosis/osteopenia diagnosis, vitamin D (vit-D) levels, and DEXA scan between 2019 to 2021. We gave a 5-minute presentation on current DEXA screen recommendations for patients with IBD on 5/27/2021 to all the network's gastroenterologists, which totaled 12. We performed a pre and post education survey consisting of 5 questions on provider knowledge and comfortability with osteoporosis screening. We assessed provider knowledge, as well as rates of osteoporosis screening. All statistical analyses were conducted in IBM SPSS for Windows Version 26. Chi Square tests were used to compare two groups in categorical variables while Mann-Whitney tests were done to compare continuous variables like age and vit-D levels.
    Results: There were a total of 5442 patients; 3927 patients before the educational intervention on 5/27/2021 and 1515 patients after the intervention. Both pre and post intervention groups were balanced in terms of age, gender, smoking status, and alcohol risk. Percent of DEXA scans were similar between both groups (13.0% vs 12.3%, p=0.5). DEXA screening rates among patients with chronic steroid use pre-intervention vs post-intervention was 44.45 vs 42.4% respectively. Vit-D levels compared between both groups was not statistically significant (30.5 vs 31.8, p=0.1). Surveys conducted before and after the intervention showed an overall increase in percentage of agreement responses about knowledge and confidence in DEXA screening (88.5% vs 97.5%).
    Conclusion: DEXA scanning can help detect premature decrease in bone mineral density and provide physicians with the opportunity to prevent further morbidity. Our study showed no difference in DEXA screening rates before and after intervention. However, there was an increase in provider knowledge based on post-intervention surveys. A similar study showed that it took three interventions, including educational presentation, flyers, and on screen EMR reminders for there to be a sustainable improvement in the rate of DEXA screening. Our project may have required additional interventions to produce an effect and thus reinforces the need for further efforts to improve osteoporosis screening in IBD patients.

    Abstract Over the past 2 decades, biological therapy with monoclonal antibodies targeting tumor necrosis factor-α has become a cornerstone of treatment of patients with inflammatory bowel disease. Although clinically effective, the biological therapies remain expensive, and their availability and utilization have been at times limited due to their high costs. Biosimilars are biological products similar to but not identical to the original biological agent or "reference biologic," also called "originator biologic." It is hoped that the use of biosimilars might enable these agents to become more available and, thus, decrease further expenditures related to the use of the original reference agents such as infliximab and adalimumab. In this study, we review the currently available evidence and shortcomings of these data supporting the use of biosimilars for the treatment of patients with inflammatory bowel disease, including their efficacy and safety as related to initiating therapy with biosimilar agents or switching between reference and biosimilar biologic agents.

    Abstract There is a paucity of studies investigating the impact of chronic corticosteroid use for coexisting conditions in patients with Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). Additionally, the information regarding the impact of chronic liver disease (CLD) on COVID-19 outcomes is evolving. Our study aims to investigate hospitalization outcomes of patients with COVID-19 on long term corticosteroids for coexisting conditions while also seeking to compare outcomes between such patients with a history of CLD to analyze the impact on mortality. We conducted a retrospective chart review across our 10-hospital network identifying patients on chronic corticosteroids (Prednisone ≥ 5 mg daily dose or equivalent dose of another steroid, for a duration of 30 days or more) who were hospitalized with COVID-19 from March 1, 2020 to June 30, 2020. Of these patients who met inclusion criteria, patients were then divided into groups based upon their history of CLD. Primary outcomes of the study looked to investigate the hospitalization outcomes of patients with a history of CLD and comorbid conditions requiring chronic corticosteroid use. Secondary outcomes sought to further investigate risk factors for mortality in our study sample. 837 charts were reviewed. 139 patients met inclusion criteria of which 34 patients had a history of CLD. Statistical analysis demonstrated no difference in length of hospital stay but increased ICU admission rate in the CLD group (41.2% vs 23.8%). No statistically significant difference was seen in between the CLD and non-CLD groups in term of complication rates and 28-day mortality. However, chronic corticosteroids patients were found to have higher rates of ICU admission and overall 28-day and ICU mortality in comparison to patients who were not on chronic corticosteroids prior to COVID-19 hospitalization. The larger contributor to COVID-19 severity was likely chronic corticosteroid use rather than CLD and thus chronic corticosteroid use should be limited throughout the COVID-19 pandemic especially in patients with additional speculated risk factors for COVID-19 such as CLD.

    Abstract Objective: Weight loss interventions to treat obesity include sleeve gastrectomy (SG), lifestyle intervention (LI), endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG) and semaglutide. We aimed to identify which treatments are cost-effective and identify requirements for semaglutide to be cost-effective.
    Design: We developed a semi-Markov microsimulation model to compare the effectiveness of SG, ESG, semaglutide and LI for weight loss in 40 years old with class I/II/III obesity. Extensive one-way sensitivity and threshold analysis were performed to vary cost of treatment strategies and semaglutide adherence rate. Outcome measures were incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICERs), with a willingness-to-pay threshold of US$100 000/quality-adjusted life-year (QALY).
    Results: When strategies were compared with each other, ESG was cost-effective in class I obesity (US$4105/QALY). SG was cost-effective in class II obesity (US$5883/QALY) and class III obesity (US$7821/QALY). In class I/II/III, obesity, SG and ESG were cost-effective compared with LI. However, semaglutide was not cost-effective compared with LI for class I/II/III obesity (ICER US$508 414/QALY, US$420 483/QALY and US$350 637/QALY). For semaglutide to be cost-effective compared with LI, it would have to cost less than US$7462 (class III), US$5847 (class II) or US$5149 (class I) annually. For semaglutide to be cost-effective when compared with ESG, it would have to cost less than US$1879 (class III), US$1204 (class II) or US$297 (class I) annually.
    Conclusions: Cost-effective strategies were: ESG for class I obesity and SG for class II/III obesity. Semaglutide may be cost-effective with substantial cost reduction. Given potentially higher utilisation rates with pharmacotherapy, semaglutide may provide the largest reduction in obesity-related mortality.

    Abstract Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPI) are one of the most prescribed medications in the United States. However, PPIs have been shown to increase the risk of enteric infections. Our study aims to evaluate the correlation between PPI and COVID-19 severity. We performed a retrospective cohort study on patients who tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 from March to August 2020. Patients were categorized based on PPI user status. Primary outcomes included need for hospital or ICU admission and 30-day mortality. Secondary outcomes looked to determine the severity of COVID-19 infection and effect of comorbid conditions. 2,594 patients were reviewed. The primary outcomes of our study found that neither active nor past PPI use was associated with increased hospital admission or 30-day mortality following completion of multivariate analysis. Additionally, there was no association between COVID-19 infection and the strength of PPI dosing (low, standard, high). However, the following covariates were independently and significantly associated with increased admission: age, male gender, diabetes, COPD, composite cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, and obesity. The following covariates were associated with increased mortality: age, male gender, COPD, and kidney disease. In conclusion, the high risk features and comorbidities of PPI users were found to have a stronger correlation to severe COVID-19 infection and poor outcomes as opposed to the use of PPI therapy.
