Gastroparesis is a disorder of delayed gastric emptying with associated symptoms of postprandial fullness, early satiety, nausea, vomiting, bloating, and abdominal pain. Functional dyspepsia is an upper gastrointestinal disorder of gut-brain interaction that presents with similar symptoms but is defined according to symptom patterns rather than gastric motor dysfunction. Although delayed gastric emptying is a defining feature of gastroparesis, other aspects of gastric neuromuscular dysfunction, such as gastric accommodation and visceral hypersensitivity might contribute to symptoms. Similarly, although functional dyspepsia is not defined by impaired gastric emptying, disordered gastric motility might underlie pathogenesis in some patients with functional dyspepsia. In the last decade, it has been increasingly recognised that these two disorders might represent varying presentations along a common continuum of neuromuscular dysfunction, although with differentiating features with respect to outcomes, diagnosis, and treatments. In this Review, an overview of gastroparesis and functional dyspepsia from the perspective of gastric motility is provided, discussing what is distinct and what is shared between these disorders.

背景:用于诱导炎症性肠病(IBD)缓解的随机安慰剂对照试验可能会对接受安慰剂治疗的患者造成伤害。目前尚不清楚在 IBD 的缓解维持试验中安慰剂是否也会造成这些伤害。我们的目的是通过一项荟萃分析,研究在维持溃疡性结肠炎和管腔克罗恩病缓解的许可生物制剂和小分子药物试验中,接受安慰剂可能带来的危害:我们进行了系统回顾和荟萃分析。我们检索了多个医学文献数据库,包括MEDLINE(1946年1月1日至2024年5月31日)、Embase和Embase Classic(1947年1月1日至2024年5月31日),以及Cochrane对照试验中央登记册(从数据库建立之初至2024年5月31日),检索了用于维持成人IBD患者缓解的许可生物制剂和小分子药物的随机安慰剂对照试验,这些试验报告了20周或20周以上的不良事件数据。没有语言限制或预先确定的排除标准。我们提取了汇总数据,并采用随机效应模型对任何治疗引发的不良事件、药物相关不良事件、感染、IBD活动恶化、因不良事件而停药、严重不良事件、严重感染、IBD活动严重恶化或静脉血栓栓塞事件进行了汇总,报告了安慰剂与活性药物的相对风险系数(RRs)以及各结果的 95% CIs。该荟萃分析方案已在 PROSPERO(CRD42024542624)上注册:我们的搜索发现了 10 826 篇引文,其中 45 项试验包括 16 562 名患者(10 319 名患者[62-3%]接受活性药物治疗,6243 名患者[37-7%]接受安慰剂治疗)符合条件。任何治疗引发的不良事件(7297/9 546 [76-4%] 接受活性药物治疗的患者 vs 4415/5850 [75-5%] 接受安慰剂治疗的患者;RR 1-01,95% CI 0-99-1-04;I2 =47%)、严重感染(260/10 242 [2-5%] vs 155/6149 [2-5%];严重感染(260/10 242 [2-5%] vs 155/6149 [2-5%];0-97,0-79-1-19;I2 =0%)或静脉血栓栓塞事件(12/4729 [0-3%] vs 9/2691 [0-3%];0-72,0-31-1-66;I2 =0%)在使用活性药物后并不显著低于安慰剂。使用活性药物发生任何感染(3208/8038 [39-9%] vs 1713/4809 [35-6%];1-14,1-05-1-23;I2 =60%)或任何药物相关不良事件(1094/2997 [36-5%] vs 609/1950 [31-2%];1-24,1-02-1-50;I2 =75%)的风险高于安慰剂。然而,IBD 活动恶化的风险(1038/8090 [12-8%] vs 1181/5191 [22-8%];0-58,0-52-0-64;I2 =40%)、因不良事件而停药的风险(610/10 282 [5-9%] vs 561/6207 [9-0%];0-71,0-60-0-84;I2 =43%)、任何严重不良事件(1066/10 292 [10-4%] vs 742/6198 [12-0%];0-85,0-77-0-94;I2 =17%)或任何严重的 IBD 活动恶化(101/5707 [1-8%] vs 143/3640 [3-9%];0-55,0-42-0-71;I2 =0%),活性药物均低于安慰剂。21项随机对照试验在所有领域均被判定为低偏倚风险:在IBD的维持缓解试验中,安慰剂与一些具有临床意义的潜在危害有关。在参与临床试验之前,应就这些问题向患者提供咨询,并考虑采用其他设计来测试治疗 IBD 的新药:无。

BACKGROUNDThe resect-and-discard strategy allows endoscopists to replace post-polypectomy pathology with real-time prediction of polyp histology during colonoscopy (optical diagnosis). We aimed to investigate the benefits and harms of implementing computer-aided diagnosis (CADx) for polyp pathology into the resect-and-discard strategy.METHODSIn this systematic review and meta-analysis, we searched MEDLINE, Embase, and Scopus from database inception to June 5, 2024, without language restrictions, for diagnostic accuracy studies that assessed the performance of real-time CADx systems, compared with histology, for the optical diagnosis of diminutive polyps (≤5 mm) in the entire colon. We synthesised data for three strategies: CADx-alone, CADx-unassisted, and CADx-assisted; when the endoscopist was involved in the optical diagnosis, we synthesised data exclusively from diagnoses for which confidence in the prediction was reported as high. The primary outcomes were the proportion of polyps that would have avoided pathological assessment (ie, the proportion optically diagnosed with high confidence; main benefit) and the proportion of polyps incorrectly predicted due to false positives and false negatives (main harm), directly compared between CADx-assisted and CADx-unassisted strategies. We used DerSimonian and Laird's random-effects model to calculate all outcomes. We used Higgins I2 to assess heterogeneity, the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation approach to rate certainty, and funnel plots and Egger's test to examine publication bias. This study is registered with PROSPERO, CRD42024508440.FINDINGSWe found 1019 studies, of which 11 (7400 diminutive polyps, 3769 patients, and 185 endoscopists) were included in the final meta-analysis.

We aimed to investigate the benefits and harms of implementing computer-aided diagnosis (CADx) for polyp pathology into the resect-and-discard strategy.METHODSIn this systematic review and meta-analysis, we searched MEDLINE, Embase, and Scopus from database inception to June 5, 2024, without language restrictions, for diagnostic accuracy studies that assessed the performance of real-time CADx systems, compared with histology, for the optical diagnosis of diminutive polyps (≤5 mm) in the entire colon. We synthesised data for three strategies: CADx-alone, CADx-unassisted, and CADx-assisted; when the endoscopist was involved in the optical diagnosis, we synthesised data exclusively from diagnoses for which confidence in the prediction was reported as high. The primary outcomes were the proportion of polyps that would have avoided pathological assessment (ie, the proportion optically diagnosed with high confidence; main benefit) and the proportion of polyps incorrectly predicted due to false positives and false negatives (main harm), directly compared between CADx-assisted and CADx-unassisted strategies. We used DerSimonian and Laird's random-effects model to calculate all outcomes. We used Higgins I2 to assess heterogeneity, the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation approach to rate certainty, and funnel plots and Egger's test to examine publication bias.
