Bowel cleansing effectiveness and safety of 1L PEG + Asc in the real-world sett...
López-Jamar, JM; Gorjão, R; Cotter, J; Lorenzo-Zúñiga García, V; Pantaleón Sánchez, MA; Carral Martínez, D; Sábado, F; Pérez Arellano, EBackground and study aims Effective bowel cleansing is critical for detecting lesions during colonoscopy, highlighting the importance of bowel preparations. 1L polyethylene glycol (PEG) + ascorbate (Asc) is the only recommended 1L PEG product in Europe and the United States. Its efficacy was demonstrated in large-scale controlled trials and confirmed in smaller-scale real-world studies. However, no large-scale ...
What Is the Optimal Bowel Preparation for Capsule Colonoscopy and Pan-intestina...
Rosa, B; Donato, H; Cúrdia Gonçalves, T; Sousa-Pinto, B; Cotter, JBackground: The rate of adequate cleansing (ACR) and complete examinations (CR) are key quality indicators in capsule colonoscopy (CC) and pan-intestinal capsule endoscopy (PCE). Aims: To evaluate the efficacy of bowel preparation protocols regarding ACR and CR. Methods: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis, search terms regarding colon capsule preparation, publication date from 2006/01, and date ...

Finding Predictors of Azathioprine-Induced Pancreatitis in Patients with Inflam...
Freitas, M; Lima Capela, T; Macedo Silva, V; Arieira, C; Cúrdia Gonçalves, T; Dias de Castro, F; Moreira, MJ; Firmino-Machado, J; Cotter, JObjectives Azathioprine (AZA)-induced pancreatitis (AIP) is a common, idiosyncratic adverse effect whose incidence and risk factors data in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients are not fully clarified. We aimed to establish the incidence, clinical course and identify risk factors for AIP. Methods A retrospective study including all IBD patients on AZA between January 2013 and July 2020 was conducted. Patie...
Health-Related Quality of Life in Patients with Moderate to Severe Ulcerative C...
Portela, F; Ministro, P; Deus, JR; Cravo, M; Cotter, J; Duque, G, e outrosPURPOSE: Ulcerative colitis (UC) can be managed with immunomodulation or surgery. We aimed to understand whether these strategies had a different impact on patients' health-related quality of life (HRQoL). METHODS: This was a retrospective, cross-sectional study: patients who had a moderate to severe UC episode that prompted the utilization of immunomodulatory drugs or surgery were invited to complete a generic...
Comparing the Continuous Geboes Score With the Robarts Histopathology Index: De...
Magro, F; Lopes, J; Borralho, P; Lopes, S; Coelho, R; Cotter, J; Oliveira, A, et al.Background and aims: The histological status of ulcerative colitis [UC] patients in clinical and endoscopic remission has gained space as an important prognostic marker and a key component of disease monitoring. Our main aims were to compare two histological indexes-the continuous Geboes score [GS] and the Robarts Histopathology index [RHI]-regarding their definitions of histological remission and response, and...
Comparison of Salt Intake in Children to that of their Parents
Cotter, J; Cotter, MJ; Oliveira, P; Cunha, P; Torres, E; Polonia, JBackground: High salt intake has been related to increased blood pressure and cardiovascular events. Few studies evaluated daily salt consumption in children. Objective: To compare urinary sodium (UNa) excretion in children to that of their parents using the gold standard of 24-h collections. Methods: We prospectively collected 633 urine samples, mean UNa = 133 ± 37 mmol/day (7.7 ± 2.1 g of salt) from 326 child...
Comparison of different histological indexes in the assessment of UC activity a...
Magro, F; Lopes, J; Borralho, P; Lopes, S; Coelho, R; Cotter, J; Oliveira, A, et al.OBJECTIVE: Histological remission is being increasingly acknowledged as a therapeutic endpoint in patients with UC. The work hereafter described aimed to evaluate the concordance between three histological classification systems-Geboes Score (GS), Nancy Index (NI) and RobartsHistopathologyIndex (RHI), as well as to evaluate their association with the endoscopic outcomes and the faecal calprotectin (FC) levels. ...
Accuracy of Faecal Calprotectin and Neutrophil Gelatinase B-associated Lipocali...
Magro, F; Lopes, S; Coelho, R; Cotter, J; Castro, F; Sousa, H; Salgado, M; Andrade, P; Vieira, A; Figueiredo, P; Caldeira, P; Sousa, A; Duarte, MBACKGROUND AND AIMS: Mucosal healing and histological remission are different targets for patients with ulcerative colitis, but both rely on an invasive endoscopic procedure. This study aimed to assess faecal calprotectin and neutrophil gelatinase B-associated lipocalin as biomarkers for disease activity in asymptomatic ulcerative colitis patients. METHODS: This was a multicentric cross-sectional study includin...
