Bile reflux gastropathy: Prevalence and risk factors after therapeutic biliary interventions: A retrospective cohort study.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Background
Bile reflux gastropathy is caused by the backward flow of duodenal fluid into the stomach. A retrospective cohort study was performed to declare if the therapeutic biliary interventions cause bile reflux gastropathy, and to estimate its prevalence and risk factors, and to evaluate the gastric mucosa endoscopic and histopathologic changes.Methods
62 patients, with epigastric pain and/or dyspeptic symptoms, were grouped into, Group 1 : (34) patients that had undergone cholecystectomy and Group 2 : (28) patients who had undergone at least one of the following procedures for the treatment of benign pathology: endoscopic sphincterotomy and endoscopic stenting. Their ages ranged from 27 to 59 years. All participants had undergone gastroscopy for gastric aspirate analysis as well as gastric mucosa biopsy for histopathological examination.Results
the prevalence of bile reflux gastropathy was (21.34%) after therapeutic biliary interventions with a P-value of 0.000. In both groups, diabetes, obesity, increased gastric bilirubin, and increased gastric pH were risk factors for bile reflux gastropathy (r = 0.27, 0.31, 0.68, 0.59 respectively), while age, sex, epigastric pain, heartburn, vomiting were mot.Conclusion
bile reflux gastropathy is common after therapeutic biliary interventions being more among obese and diabetic patients.

Project description:Background/aimsThe pathoetiology of functional dyspepsia remains unclear; one mechanism could be chemical gastropathy from chronic bile reflux. We aim to examine the association of bile reflux gastropathy with functional dyspepsia and identify predisposing factors.MethodsIn a retrospective study, patients with functional dyspepsia (Rome III) who completed symptom assessment, esophagogastroduodenoscopy, and biopsies were categorized into 3 groups; bile gastropathy (BG), non-bile gastropathy (NBG), and no gastropathy (NG). Demographics, symptoms, endoscopy, and motility data were compared between groups. Multivariate analysis identified clinical factors associated with BG.ResultsOf 262 patients (77.5% female), 90 had BG, 121 had NBG, and 51 had NG. Baseline demographics were similar, however, patients with BG reported significantly more severe abdominal pain than NBG or NG groups (P = 0.018). Gastric erythema was significantly more common in BG vs NBG groups (P < 0.001). Cholecystectomy was significantly associated (OR, 6.6; P = 0.003) with the presence of gastropathy in BG compared to NBG or NG group. Patients with cholecystectomy had significantly more severe abdominal pain (P < 0.05), gastric erythema (P < 0.03), and gastritis (P < 0.05), and were more likely to be prescribed narcotic medications (P < 0.004) than patients without cholecystectomy.Conclusions Bile reflux gastropathy is associated with functional dyspepsia and causes more severe symptoms. Cholecystectomy predisposes to BG and abnormal pain, and could contribute to the pathogenesis of functional dyspepsia.

Project description:Background: Endoscopic primary bile reflux is one of the main diagnostic criteria for bile reflux gastritis (BRG). Presently, the risk factors and prediction models of endoscopic primary bile reflux (EPBR) in gastropathy patients who cannot or will not undergo endoscopy due to contraindications are not clear. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the risk factors of EPBR and to establish and verify a prediction model. Methods: A series of 844 patients (564 subjects with EPBR and 280 control subjects) were retrospectively selected for this study and divided into a training set (n = 591) and a validation set (n = 253) according to the usual ratio of 70:30% for the subsequent internal validation of the logistic regression model for EPBR. Fifteen parameters that might affect the occurrence of EPBR were collected. Subsequently, univariate and stepwise logistic regression analyses were introduced to reveal the risk factors and the multivariate prediction model. An R package was dedicated to the corresponding internal validation of the EPBR model. Results: The univariate analysis showed that gender, age, smoking, Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection status, metabolic syndrome (MS), non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) use history, and previous medical histories of chronic liver diseases, cholelithiasis, and erosive gastritis were statistically significant between the two groups (P < 0.05). Multivariate regression described that being a male [OR (95%confidence interval (CI)) = 2.29 (1.50-3.50), P < 0.001], age≥45 years old [OR (95% CI) = 4.24 (2.59-6.96), P < 0.001], H. pylori infection status [OR (95% CI) = 2.34 (1.37-4.01), P = 0.002], MS [OR (95% CI) = 3.14 (1.77-5.54), P < 0.001], NSAIDs use history [OR (95% CI) = 1.87 (1.03-3.40), P = 0.04], cholelithiasis history [OR (95% CI) = 3.95 (2.18-7.18), P < 0.001] and erosive gastritis history [OR (95% CI) = 6.77 (3.73-12.29), P < 0.001] were the risk factors for the occurrence of EPBR. Based on the results of these risk factors, an EPBR prediction model with an adequate calibration and excellent discrimination was established [area under the curve (AUC): 0.839, 95% CI = 0.806-0.872]. Conclusions: Being a male, age ≥ 45 years old, H. pylori infection, histories of MS, NSAIDs use, cholelithiasis, and erosive gastritis appear to be the risk factors for EPBR, and our favorable prediction model might be an option for the prediction of EPBR.

Project description:Background:Reflux symptoms including various extra-esophageal manifestations are commonly reported after esophagectomy. However, the intensity and presentation of reflux are both diverse and variable by patients. In this study we assessed reflux symptoms using the reflux symptom index (RSI) questionnaire in patients who underwent esophagectomy for esophageal cancer to order to identify the prevalence of significant reflux and its risk factors. Methods:From April 2017 to July 2017, we investigated patients who underwent esophagectomy for esophageal cancer. The severity of reflux was evaluated with a self-administered nine-item outcomes instrument (score: 0 to 5). An RSI score ?13 was considered significant reflux. Multivariable analysis was conducted to identify risk factors. Results:A total of 151 patients was included (mean age, 64.1±8.8 years; male, n=136, 90.1%). The median time after esophagectomy was 22.6 months. The question regarding heartburn, chest pain, indigestion, or acid coming up was most frequently responded (n=104, 68.9%) with 41 (27.2%) patients presenting significant reflux (mean RSI score, 19.9±6.3). Time after esophagectomy <2 years, vocal cord palsy, retrosternal route of reconstruction, and postoperative weight loss were identified as significant risk factors for RSI ?13 in the multi-variable analysis. Conclusions:Reflux related symptoms including extra-esophageal manifestations were common. Our study revealed that short duration after esophagectomy, vocal cord palsy, retrosternal route of reconstruction, and postoperative weight loss were significant associated factors for reflux symptom after esophagectomy.

Project description:Background and Aim: The risk factors for bile leakage after hepatectomy without biliary reconstruction are controversial. This study investigated the risk factors for bile leakage after hepatectomy without biliary reconstruction. Methods: We searched databases (Embase (Ovid), Medline (Ovid), PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science) for articles published between January 1, 2000, and May 1, 2021, to evaluate the risk factors for bile leakage after hepatectomy without biliary reconstruction. Results: A total of 16 articles were included in this study, and the overall results showed that sex (OR: 1.21, 95% CI: 1.04-1.42), diabetes (OR: 1.21, 95% CI: 1.05-1.38), left trisectionectomy (OR: 3.53, 95% CI: 2.32-5.36), central hepatectomy (OR: 3.28, 95% CI: 2.63-4.08), extended hemihepatectomy (OR: 2.56, 95% CI: 1.55-4.22), segment I hepatectomy (OR: 2.56, 95% CI: 1.50-4.40), intraoperative blood transfusion (OR:2.40 95%CI:1.79-3.22), anatomical hepatectomy (OR: 1.70, 95% CI: 1.19-2.44) and intraoperative bleeding ≥1,000 ml (OR: 2.46, 95% CI: 2.12-2.85) were risk factors for biliary leakage. Age >75 years, cirrhosis, underlying liver disease, left hepatectomy, right hepatectomy, benign disease, Child-Pugh class A/B, and pre-operative albumin <3.5 g/dL were not risk factors for bile leakage after hepatectomy without biliary reconstruction. Conclusion: Comprehensive research in the literature revealed that sex, diabetes, left trisectionectomy, central hepatectomy, extended hemihepatectomy, segment I hepatectomy, intraoperative blood transfusion, anatomical hepatectomy and intraoperative bleeding ≥1,000 ml were risk factors for biliary leakage.

Project description:Bile at strongly acidic pH exerts a carcinogenic effect on the hypopharynx, based upon recent pre-clinical studies that support its role as an independent risk factor. We recently demonstrated in vitro that curcumin can prevent oncogenic profile of bile in human hypopharyngeal cells, by inhibiting NF-κB. We hypothesize that topically applied curcumin to the hypopharynx can similarly block early oncogenic molecular events of bile, by inhibiting NF-κB and consequently altering the expression of genes with oncogenic function. Using Mus musculus (C57Bl/6J), we topically applied curcumin (250 μmol/L; three times per day; 10 days) to the hypopharynx, 15 minutes before, 15 minutes after or in combination with bile acids (pH 3.0). Immunohistochemical analysis and qPCR revealed that topically applied curcumin either before, after or in combination with acidic bile exposure significantly suppressed its induced NF-κB activation in regenerating epithelial cells, and overexpression of Rela, Bcl2, Egfr, Stat3, Wnt5a, Tnf, Il6, Ptgs2. Akt1 was particularly inhibited by curcumin when applied simultaneously with bile. We provide novel evidence into the preventive and therapeutic properties of topically applied curcumin in acidic bile-induced early oncogenic molecular events in hypopharyngeal mucosa, by inhibiting NF-κB, and shaping future translational development of effective targeted therapies using topical non-pharmacologic inhibitors of NF-κB.

Project description:BackgroundBiliary injuries after blunt abdominal traumas are uncommon and difficult to be predicted for early management. The aim of this study is to analyze the risk factors and management of biliary injuries with blunt abdominal trauma.MethodPatients with blunt liver trauma in the period between 2009 to May 2019 were included in the study. Patients were divided into 2 groups for comparison; a group of liver parenchymal injury and group with traumatic biliary injuries (TBI).ResultsOne hundred and eight patients had blunt liver trauma (46 patients with liver parenchymal injury and 62 patients with TBI). TBI were; 55 patients with bile leak, 3 patients with haemobilia, and 4 patients with late obstructive jaundice. Eight patients with major bile leak and 12 patients with minor bile leak had been resolved with a surgical drain or percutaneous pigtail drainage. Nineteen patients (34.5%) with major and minor bile leak underwent successful endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). Sixteen patients (29.1%) underwent surgical repair for bile leak. In Multivariate analysis, the possible risk factors for prediction of biliary injuries were central liver injuries (P = 0.032), high grades liver trauma (P = 0.046), elevated serum level of bilirubin at time of admission (P = 0.019), and elevated gamma glutamyl transferase (GGT) at time of admission (P = 0.017).ConclusionHigh-grade liver trauma, central parenchymal laceration and elevated serum level of bilirubin and GGT are possible risk factors for the prediction of TBI. Bile leak after blunt trauma can be treated conservatively, while ERCP is indicated after failure of external drainage.

Project description:BACKGROUND Prevalence of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is increasing worldwide. We aimed to estimate the prevalence of GERD in Pars Cohort Study (PCS) and to find its correlates. METHODS We used the baseline data from PCS. PCS was conducted in the district of Valashahr in Fars province in southern Iran from 2012 to 2014. 9264 inhabitants who were 40-75 years old, and agreed to participate were enrolled. Data were collected by a structured questionnaire and simple physical examination of all participants. RESULTS Generally, 58.50% (95% CI 57.49 - 59.51) of the participants had GERD and 25.10% (95% CI 24.22 - 25.99) experienced it at least weekly. Approximately, 32.0%, 52.0%, and 24.4% of the participants reported heart burn sensation, regurgitation, and both symptoms, respectively. Being female (OR: 1.45, 95% CI 1.27 - 1.65), being older (OR: 1.20, 95% CI 1.06 - 1.36), being divorced/ widowed/separated (OR: 1.38, 95% CI 1.01 - 1.91), and lower education (OR: 1.43, 95% CI 1.02 - 2.03) were associated with frequent GERD. CONCLUSION GERD is common in PCS and its prevalence is close to that in western countries. Being female, higher age, being divorced/widowed/separated, lower education, history of hypertension, anxiety, insomnia, and non-cigarette tobacco smoking were associated with frequent GERD. We are going to investigate the causal relationship between these risk factors and GERD in the next stages of PCS.

Project description:Objectives To determine the incidence and prevalence of gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD) diagnosis and treatment in children with neurological impairment (NI) along with relationship to key variables. Design This is a population-based retrospective cohort study. Setting This study takes place in Alberta, Canada. Patients Children with NI were identified by hospital-based International Classification of Diseases (ICD) codes from 2006 to 2018. Main outcome measures Incidence and prevalence of a GERD diagnosis identified by: (1) hospital-based ICD-10 codes; (2) specialist claims; (3) dispensation of acid-suppressing medication (ASM). Age, gender, complex chronic conditions (CCC) and technology assistance were covariates. Results Among 10 309 children with NI, 2772 (26.9%) met the GERD definition. The unadjusted incidence rate was 52.1 per 1000 person-years (50.2–54.1). Increasing numbers of CCCs were associated with a higher risk of GERD. The HR for GERD associated with a gastrostomy tube was 4.56 (95% CI 4.15 to 5.00). Overall, 2486 (24.1%) of the children were treated with ASMs of which 1535 (61.7%) met no other GERD criteria. The incidence rate was 16.9 dispensations per year (95% CI 16.73 to 17.07). The prevalence of gastrojejunostomy tubes was 1.1% (n=121), surgical jejunostomy tubes was 0.7% (n=79) and fundoplication was 3.4% (n=351). Conclusions The incidence of GERD in children with NI greatly exceeds that of the general paediatric population. Similarly, incidence rate of medication dispensations was closer to the rates seen in adults particularly in children with multiple CCCs and gastrostomy tubes. Further research is needed to determine the appropriate use of ASMs balancing the potential for adverse effects in this population.

Project description:BackgroundGender-related factors might play an important role in the development of reflux esophagitis (RE) and symptomatic gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD). We aimed to evaluate the prevalence and risk factors for RE and symptomatic GERD and determine whether gender specific differences exist.MethodsThis study was conducted on a health cohort consisting of 10,158 participants who underwent comprehensive health screening. Lifestyles and gastrointestinal symptoms were investigated using a self-reported structured questionnaire. Questionnaires about menstrual status were added for the women.ResultsThe prevalence of RE in men was significantly higher than that in women (10.6% vs. 2.0%, P < 0.001); however, symptomatic GERD showed predominance in women (6.2% vs. 2.5%, P < 0.001). Although the prevalence of RE gradually increased with the duration of menopause stratified by decade (P = 0.007), that of symptomatic GERD rapidly increased across the menopausal transit in women. Apart from common risk factors of obesity and current smoking for RE, over 70 years of age in women and hiatal hernia and hypertriglyceridemia in men were significant risk factors. In symptomatic GERD, high somatization was a common risk factor. Excessive alcohol drinking was a significant risk factor in men, but not in women.ConclusionThis study showed a predominance of RE in men, but a predominance of symptomatic GERD in women. In women, dynamic increase in the prevalence of GERD is closely related to the menopause conditions and its duration. There are specific risk factors for RE and symptomatic GERD according to gender differences.
