Aims Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a relatively common complication of ulcerative colitis (UC). Only a few studies have investigated the impact of PSC on the clinical course of UC, and their conclusions are contradictory. Therefore, we aimed to compare the disease activity of UC with and without PSC. Methods and Results We collected UC patient data using the Diagnosis Procedure Combination database system in Japan and classified eligible admissions into two groups based on their diagnosis of either UC alone or UC associated with PSC. We then compared therapeutic details (medical treatment and surgery) between the two groups. Multivariable logistic regression analysis and propensity score matching was also performed. The rates of systemic steroid injection and infliximab administration in patients with PSC were lower than those in patients without PSC (21% vs. 28%, P = 0.012, 9.6% vs. 16%, P = 0.01, respectively). The rates of surgery, colorectal cancer, duration of hospital stay, and in‐hospital mortality did not differ between the two groups. Multivariable analysis revealed that concomitant PSC was a clinical factor that reduced the odds of systemic steroid injection (odds ratio [OR] = 0.66, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.49–0.90, P = 0.008) and infliximab (OR = 0.48, 95% CI: 0.32–0.74, P = 0.0008) administration. Conclusion UC patients with PSC might have less UC disease activity than those with UC alone.

“…Japan, which has universal public health care, developed a comprehensive reimbursement system of medical cost, named the diagnosis procedure combination (DPC) system, in 2003 [ 6 ]. The claims-based database has data on diagnosis, examination, and treatment; data from this database have been used in epidemiological studies of brain, orthopedic, and abdominal diseases and cancer [ 7 – 10 ], but no studies have used these data with regard to sepsis.…”

Background Trends in the incidence and outcomes of sepsis using a Japanese nationwide database were investigated. Methods This was a retrospective cohort study. Adult patients, who had both presumed serious infections and acute organ dysfunction, between 2010 and 2017 were extracted using a combined method of administrative and electronic health record data from the Japanese nationwide medical claim database, which covered 71.5% of all acute care hospitals in 2017. Presumed serious infection was defined using blood culture test records and antibiotic administration. Acute organ dysfunction was defined using records of diagnosis according to the international statistical classification of diseases and related health problems, 10th revision, and records of organ support. The primary outcomes were the annual incidence of sepsis and death in sepsis per 1000 inpatients. The secondary outcomes were in-hospital mortality rate and length of hospital stay in patients with sepsis. Results The analyzed dataset included 50,490,128 adult inpatients admitted between 2010 and 2017. Of these, 2,043,073 (4.0%) patients had sepsis. During the 8-year period, the annual proportion of patients with sepsis across inpatients significantly increased (slope = + 0.30%/year, P < 0.0001), accounting for 4.9% of the total inpatients in 2017. The annual death rate of sepsis per 1000 inpatients significantly increased (slope = + 1.8/1000 inpatients year, P = 0.0001), accounting for 7.8 deaths per 1000 inpatients in 2017. The in-hospital mortality rate and median (interquartile range) length of hospital stay significantly decreased (P < 0.001) over the study period and were 18.3% and 27 (15–50) days in 2017, respectively. Conclusions The Japanese nationwide data indicate that the annual incidence of sepsis and death in inpatients with sepsis significantly increased; however, the annual mortality rates and length of hospital stay in patients with sepsis significantly decreased. The increasing incidence of sepsis and death in sepsis appear to be a significant and ongoing issue.

“…Therefore, a rapid and effective method of bowel preparation carries paramount importance for the clinical outcomes and decreasing the risk of rebleeding, particularly in patients with evidence of ongoing hemorrhage after initial resuscitation. 13 , 14 The American College of Gastroenterology clinical guidelines traditionally recommend rapid purge for urgent colonoscopy in high-risk patients using 2 to 6 L of polyethylene glycol or another similar solution, administered over 3 to 4 hours. 15 However, it is notable that the high-volume preparations delay the procedure and are poorly acceptable to patients.…”

Colonic diverticular bleeding is an established cause of painless acute lower gastrointestinal hemorrhage. Colonoscopy, performed within 24 hours of presentation, is the usual initial diagnostic procedure in such patients. In order to improve the diagnostic and therapeutic yield of urgent colonoscopy, adequate colon cleansing is required in patients with signs and symptoms of ongoing bleeding. We hereby delineate the importance of rapid bowel preparation with a very-low-volume novel 1 L polyethylene glycol ascorbate solution in the setting of acute severe colonic diverticular bleeding. The 1-L regimen may demonstrate similar efficacy to that of traditional higher volume preparations and it can substantially reduce the time for bowel preparation. Therefore, it can be considered for bowel purge when colonoscopy has to be rapidly planned in critical patients. This article further illustrates that the endoscopic technique using epinephrine followed by direct hemoclipping may be added to the armamentarium for acute colonic diverticular hemorrhage as the first treatment, especially in elderly patients with multiple comorbid conditions. While ample evidence surrounding the efficacy of the clipping method persists in the literature, rapid bowel preparation with 1 L polyethylene glycol ascorbate solution’s imperativeness to achieve hemostasis with direct hemoclipping remains elusive.
