    Abstract Aim: To establish patient factors associated with a successful colon capsule endoscopy (CCE) test.
    Method: This prospective cohort study used data collected from patients who underwent CCE as part of the ScotCap evaluation prior to April 2020. A CCE was defined as successful if the capsule visualized the whole colon and rectum (complete test) with sufficient bowel cleansing to permit assessment of the colonic mucosa (adequate bowel preparation). Factors from patients in symptomatic and surveillance groups were analysed for associations with a successful test, complete test, adequate bowel preparation and requirement for further procedure using univariate, multivariate logistic, least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression.
    Results: Data from 263 symptomatic and 137 surveillance patients were analysed. There was an association between a symptomatic patient's age and a successful test (OR = 0.97, 95% CI: 0.95-0.99), adequate bowel preparation (OR = 0.97, 95% CI: 0.94-1.00) and further procedure requirement (OR = 1.04, 95% CI: 1.02-1.06). An association was found, for symptomatic patients, between a faecal immunochemical test result in the range 10-399 μg/g and a further procedure (OR = 2.32, 95% CI: 1.23-4.48). In patients undergoing surveillance for previous colorectal cancer (OR = 0.42, 95% CI: 0.18-0.97), had previous bowel resection surgery (OR = 0.43, 95% CI: 0.19-0.98) or took a beta blocker medication (OR = 0.32, 95% CI: 0.11-0.88), an association was found with further procedure requirement.
    Conclusions: Among symptomatic patients, younger age was associated with obtaining a successful CCE test. Clinicians could consider patient selection based on these results to improve the rate of successful testing in clinical practice.

    Abstract Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of a novel bowel preparation and booster regimen for colon capsule endoscopy (CCE) using macrogol, phospho-soda and gastrografin, compared with a control regimen consisting of polyethylene glycol and sodium picosulfate.
    Methods: This was a prospective cohort study using historical controls. Symptomatic patients undergoing CCE between 11/07/2021 and 21/12/2021 using the novel regimen were included. Symptomatic patients who underwent CCE in the ScotCap evaluation using the control regimen were used as historical controls. We measured the rate of complete test (visualisation of the whole colon and rectum), adequate bowel preparation, successful test (complete and adequate bowel preparation) and need for further test following CCE. The rate of adverse events was also collected.
    Results: Patients undergoing CCE using the new and control regimen were 200 and 316, respectively. The median age, age range and proportion of female patients in the new and control regimen cohorts was 61 vs 60 years, 16-86 vs 20-83 years, and 60.5% vs 56.6%. The rate of complete test, adequate bowel reparation and successful test for the new and control regimen was 69% vs 72.2%, 86.6% vs 80.7% and 60.5% vs 65.8%. Comparing the new and control regimen, 39.5% vs 37.3% of patients required no test following CCE, 26% vs 32.6% required a colonoscopy, 31.5% vs 21.5% required a flexible sigmoidoscopy and 3% vs 2.9% required a computed tomography colonogram. No adverse events were reported using the new regimen compared to 2 (0.6%) in the control group.
    Conclusions: The rate of adequate bowel preparation has improved following the introduction of a new regimen. However, further work is needed to increase the complete test rate. A significant proportion of patients continue to avoid colonoscopy following CCE.

    Abstract Aim: The coronavirus pandemic has led to significant challenges for healthcare delivery across the globe. Non-emergency endoscopic activity in the UK has been postponed, raising concerns of increased delays in the diagnosis of colorectal cancer and a surge in demand once services resume. Measures to mitigate this risk must be considered.
    Method: This paper reviews various investigative modalities for colorectal disease which could be deployed during cessation of colonoscopy services. We focus on colon capsule endoscopy (CCE) due to its relevance during the COVID-19 pandemic and its ability to triage patients effectively to further endoscopic investigations.
    Results: CT of the abdomen and pelvis has been suggested as a triage tool while access to colonoscopy is limited. However, CT may lead to the spread of COVID-19 as patients attend the hospital, and it exposes them to the risks of radiation. Faecal immunochemistry tests have been demonstrated as a good predictor of colonic pathology and could be safely used to risk stratify patients when prioritizing colonoscopy. CCE is a safe and innovative technology for investigating the colon. Procedures can be carried out in the community and can be conducted safely during the coronavirus pandemic. It has been shown to be an accurate detector of colonic neoplasia and can reduce demand for colonoscopy.
    Conclusion: As colonoscopy services resume, they will probably experience high demand leading to further delays for patients. CCE could be used to reduce the number of patients requiring colonoscopy and triage those requiring further endoscopic investigations appropriately.

    Abstract Background: A substantial number of patients treated in emergency general surgery (EGS) services die within a year of discharge. The aim of this study was to analyse causes of death and their relationship to discharge diagnoses, in patients who died within 1 year of discharge from an EGS service in Scotland.
    Methods: This was a population cohort study of all patients with an EGS admission in Scotland, UK, in the year before death. Patients admitted to EGS services between January 2008 and December 2017 were included. Data regarding patient admissions were obtained from the Information Services Division in Scotland, and cross-referenced to death certificate data, obtained from the National Records of Scotland.
    Results: Of 507 308 patients admitted to EGS services, 7917 died while in hospital, and 52 094 within 1 year of discharge. For the latter, the median survival time was 67 (i.q.r. 21-168) days after EGS discharge. Malignancy accounted for 48 per cent of deaths and was the predominant cause of death in patients aged over 35 years. The cause of death was directly related to the discharge diagnosis in 56.5 per cent of patients. Symptom-based discharge diagnoses were often associated with a malignancy not diagnosed on admission.
    Conclusion: When analysed by subsequent cause of death, EGS is a cancer-based specialty. Adequate follow-up and close links with oncology and palliative care services merit development.

    Abstract Background: Colon capsule endoscopy (CCE) is a non-invasive alternative to colonoscopy. The reported sensitivity and specificity of CCE for the detection of clinically significant colonic neoplasia is high. To date, there have been no reported cases of colorectal cancer (CRC) missed by CCE which were located in segments adequately visualised by the capsule.
    Case presentation: We present the case of a 71-year-old female, who underwent CCE for new lower gastrointestinal symptoms. The CCE reported 17 polyps (largest size 10 mm) and angiodysplasia. A 40 mm caecal pole tumour, not detected by the CCE, was identified at follow up colonoscopy. Surgical resection was performed, and the pathology sample was reported as moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma, pT2 pN0 (0/19) M0, with no evidence of EMVI. The patient made an uneventful recovery. The caecal pole tumour was not definitively identified on retrospective review of the CCE images.
    Conclusion: To date, this is the first published case of a CRC missed entirely by CCE. Further research is required to allow calculation of the post CCE interval CRC rate to allow comparison with colonoscopy and CT colonogram.

    Abstract Background: Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) who have had a total colectomy remain with their rectum in situ, and are therefore at risk of rectal carcinoma. It is not clear how high the incidence of rectal cancer is in this cohort. The primary objective of this meta-analysis was to estimate the incidence of rectal cancer in patients with ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease who have undergone colectomy but have a residual rectum, and to identify the risk factors for its development. In doing so, we explore the current recommendations for screening processes for these patients.
    Methods: A systematic review of the literature was performed. Five databases (Medline, Embase, Pubmed, Cochrane Library and Scopus) were searched from inception to 29 October 2021, to identify studies adhering to the population, intervention, control and outcomes (PICO) criteria. The included studies were critically appraised, and the relevant data was extracted. Cancer incidence was estimated from the reported information. Risk stratification was analysed using RevMan. A narrative approach was undertaken for the exploration of the existing screening guidelines.
    Results: Data from 23 of the 24 identified studies was suitable for analysis. The pooled incidence of rectal carcinoma was calculated to be 1.3%. Subgroup analysis showed an incidence of 0.7% and 3.2% for patients with a de-functioned rectal stump and ileorectal anastomosis, respectively. Patients with a history of a colorectal carcinoma were more likely to have a subsequent diagnosis of rectal carcinoma (RR 7.2, 95% CI 2.4-21.1). Patients with previous colorectal dysplasia were also at higher risk (RR 5.1, 95% CI 3.1-8.2). No universal standardised guidance regarding screening for this cohort could be identified in the available literature.
    Conclusions: The overall risk of malignancy was estimated to be 1.3%, which is lower than previously reported. There is a need for clear and standardised screening guidance for this group of patients.
