Comparison of acid-lowering drugs for endoscopy negative reflux disease: Systematic review and network Meta-Analysis

Brigida Barberio, Pierfrancesco Visaggi, Edoardo Savarino, Nicola de Bortoli, Christopher J. Black, Alexander C. Ford

Summary: This study conducted a network meta-analysis to evaluate the efficacy and safety of different medical therapies for endoscopy-negative reflux disease. The results showed that proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are superior to other drugs in treating this condition. Future research should focus on better patient classification and investigating the efficacy of other drugs.

Placebo response in pharmacological trials in patients with functional dyspepsia-A systematic review and meta-analysis

Michelle Bosman, Fabienne Smeets, Sigrid Elsenbruch, Jan Tack, Magnus Simren, Nicholas Talley, Bjorn Winkens, Ad Masclee, Daniel Keszthelyi

Summary: This study conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to investigate the placebo response in pharmacological trials for functional dyspepsia (FD). The study found that the pooled placebo response rate ranged from 35.5% to 39.6% depending on the responder definition used. Lower baseline symptom scores were significantly associated with higher placebo response rates. The study suggests considering entry criteria based on symptom severity and separate reporting of core FD symptoms in future trials.

Economic living standard and abdominal pain mediate the association between functional gastrointestinal disorders and depression or anxiety

M. H. Simon, P. E. Heenan, C. Frampton, S. Bayer, J. Keenan, de N. K. Boer, N. C. Roy, N. J. Talley, R. B. Gearry

Summary: This study examines the association between functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs) and depression and anxiety, and identifies the covariates influencing this association. The study finds that economic standard of living, pain, and IBS phenotype are significant independent factors associated with depression and anxiety in FGID cases.

Willingness to pay for medications among patients with Rome IV irritable Bowel syndrome

Vivek C. Goodoory, Cho Ee Ng, Christopher J. Black, Alexander C. Ford

Summary: This study examined willingness to pay for medications among individuals with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). The results showed that women and individuals with an annual income of 30,000 pounds or more were more likely to be willing to pay for medication. In addition, individuals with lower IBS-related quality of life were more willing to pay for a medication that could improve their symptoms.

Systematic review with network meta-analysis: Risk of Herpes zoster with biological therapies and small molecules in inflammatory bowel disease

Shahida Din, Christian P. Selinger, Christopher J. Black, Alexander C. Ford

Summary: A network meta-analysis was conducted to examine the risk of Herpes zoster infection associated with biologics and small molecules used to treat inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The results showed that Janus kinase inhibitors, particularly tofacitinib, were most likely to increase the risk of Herpes zoster infection, and the risk increased with higher doses.

Summary: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) has a substantial impact on the quality of life of affected individuals, and the negative impact is worse than observed in some severe chronic organic conditions.

Efficacy and Safety of Drugs for Gastroparesis: Systematic Review and Network Meta-analysis

Maria Rosa Ingrosso, Michael Camilleri, Jan Tack, Gianluca Ianiro, Christopher J. Black, Alexander C. Ford

Summary: This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of drugs for gastroparesis through a network meta-analysis. The results showed that oral dopamine antagonists and tachykinin-1 antagonists were more effective than placebo. For individual symptoms, oral metoclopramide showed good efficacy for nausea, fullness, and bloating. However, the confidence in the evidence for most comparisons was low to moderate, indicating a need for more effective therapies for gastroparesis.

Weight loss with subcutaneous semaglutide versus other glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists in type 2 diabetes: a systematic review

Brandon Stretton, Joshua Kovoor, Stephen Bacchi, Shantel Chang, Benjamin Ngoi, Tess Murray, Thomas C. Bristow, Jonathan Heng, Aashray Gupta, Christopher Ovenden, Guy Maddern, Campbell H. Thompson, Leonie Heilbronn, Mark Boyd, Christopher Rayner, Nicholas J. Talley, Michael Horowtiz

Summary: This review summarizes the direct comparisons between subcutaneous semaglutide and other GLP-1 RAs in individuals with type 2 diabetes, focusing on their efficacy for inducing weight loss and improving metabolic health markers. Five studies which fulfilled the inclusion criteria were identified. Randomized trials support the superior efficacy of semaglutide over other GLP-1 RAs in terms of weight loss, but tirzepatide is more effective than semaglutide.

Novel symptom clusters predict disease impact and healthcare utilisation in inflammatory bowel disease: Prospective longitudinal follow-up study

Summary: Using latent class analysis, this study identified novel clusters of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and found that patients with higher gastrointestinal and psychological symptoms were at a higher risk of adverse disease outcomes and were also high-volume users of healthcare.

Impact of Opioid Use on the Natural History of Inflammatory Bowel Disease: Prospective Longitudinal Follow-up Study

Christy Riggott, Keeley M. Fairbrass, Christian P. Selinger, David J. Gracie, Alexander C. Ford

Summary: The use of opioids in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is associated with psychological comorbidity and an increased risk of intestinal resection, particularly with stronger formulations. Future studies should classify the risks of different opioids to develop reliable prescribing algorithms, and evaluate the effectiveness of addressing psychological factors as an opioid avoidance strategy in routine IBD care.
