Endoscopist’s Judgment Is as Useful as Risk Scores for Predicting Outcome in Peptic Ulcer Bleeding: A Multicenter Study Open
Background: Guidelines recommend using prognostic scales for risk stratification in patients with non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding. It remains unclear whether risk scores offer greater accuracy than clinical evaluation. Objecti…

Multicenter Study Of Plastic Vs. Self-expanding Metal Stents In Endoscopic Ultrasound-drainage Of Walled-off Pancreatic Necrosis – Prometheus: A Randomised Controlled Trial Protocol Open
Background: It seems that the appearance of lumen-apposing metal stents (LAMS), are displacing the role of plastic stents in the therapy of pancreatic fluid collection as walled-off necrosis (WON). To date there is no quality of evidence t…
