Systematic review: Mortality associated with raised faecal immunochemical test and positive faecal occult blood results. Alimentary Pharmacology and Therapeutics, https://doi.org/10.1111/apt.18208

Background

Faecal haemoglobin (f-Hb) testing is used in colorectal cancer (CRC) screening and increasingly to guide the investigation in patients with symptoms suggestive of CRC. Studies have demonstrated increased mortality with raised f-Hb....

To evaluate colorectal cancer outcomes after “low” (sub-threshold) Faecal Immunochemical Test (FIT) results in symptomatic patients tested in primary care.

Method:

Retrospective audit of 35,289 patients with FIT results, having consulte... Read More about ‘Low’ faecal immunochemical test (FIT) colorectal cancer: a 4-year comparison of the Nottingham ‘4F’ protocol with FIT10 in symptomatic patients.

Background: Faecal Immunochemical Testing (FIT) usage for symptomatic patients is increasing, but variations in use by sociodemographics are unknown. We introduced FIT for symptomatic patients in November 2017. Aim: Identify whether demographics, eth...

Outcomes after emergency appendicectomy in patients with liver cirrhosis: a population-based cohort study from England. Langenbeck's Archives of Surgery, 408, Article 362. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00423-023-03072-3

Introduction
The mortality risk after appendicectomy in patients with liver cirrhosis is predicted to be higher than in the general population given the associated risk of perioperative bleeding, infections and liver decompensation. This population-... Read More about Outcomes after emergency appendicectomy in patients with liver cirrhosis: a population-based cohort study from England.
