Mashup Score: 9Blue Notes - 4 month(s) ago
Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection is highly prevalent worldwide, and positivity rates depend strongly on the population under study. However, there are few contemporary data describing HP epidemiology in the racially and ethnically diverse population of the United States. This retrospective study included over 900,000 individuals that had undergone HP testing between 1998 and 2018 in the Veterans Health Administration system. HP testing included serology, fecal H. pylori antigen or urea breath test, rapid urease test, CLO test, and histology evaluation, and the approach was validated against medical records.

Mashup Score: 7A Diagnosis of Irritable Bowel Syndrome Using Rome IV Criteria and Limited Investigations is Durable in Secondary Care - 5 month(s) ago
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a positive diagnosis, made using symptom-based criteria and limited, judicious, investigation. However, this may lead to uncertainty on the part of clinicians regarding potential for a missed diagnosis of organic gastrointestinal disease. Few studies have examined durability of a diagnosis of IBS, and none have used the current gold standard to diagnose IBS, the Rome IV criteria.

Mashup Score: 17Efficacy of Probiotics in Irritable Bowel Syndrome: Systematic Review and Meta-analysis - 6 month(s) ago
We studied the efficacy of probiotics for irritable bowel syndrome. There was some evidence of efficacy, but the quality of the trials included makes it hard to draw definitive conclusions. Future trials should be more rigorous and could focus on potentially effective strains or species from this meta-analysis.

Some combinations of probiotics or strains may be beneficial in #IBS. However, certainty in the evidence for efficacy by GRADE criteria was low to very low across almost all of our analyses @alex_ford12399 https://t.co/ULU5fgEaGo https://t.co/a8dhBSTnYl

Mashup Score: 6
To our knowledge, this is the largest trial of a tricyclic antidepressant in IBS ever conducted. Titrated low-dose amitriptyline was superior to placebo as a second-line treatment for IBS in primary care across multiple outcomes, and was safe and well tolerated. General practitioners should offer low-dose amitriptyline to patients with IBS whose symptoms do not improve with first-line therapies, with appropriate support to guide patient-led dose titration, such as the self-titration document developed for this trial.

Mashup Score: 6Quality of life and bi-directional gut-brain interactions in irritable bowel syndrome from adolescence to adulthood - 7 month(s) ago
Reports on cross-sectional and longitudinal associations between health-related quality of life (HRQoL), psychological distress, and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) in the adolescent and young adult general population are few. We aimed to describe cross-sectional associations between HRQoL and IBS in adolescence and young adulthood, and examine bi-directional gut-brain interactions in the transition from childhood to adulthood.
