The utility of synoptic operation reports in colorectal surgery: a systematic review
ConclusionsSR offer advantages in completeness, data extraction, and communication compared to NR. Surgeons perceive them as beneficial for research, quality improvement, and teaching. This review supports the necessity for development of user-friendly SR that seamlessly integrate into pre-existing EMRs, optimising patient care and enhancing the quality of CRC surgical documentation.

Trends in the prevalence and incidence of Crohn ’s disease in Japan and the United States
ConclusionThe epidemiology of CD differs between Japan and the US. Research to understand the basis of these differences could help to identify at-risk groups in each country, and guide implementation of preventive measures. (Source: International Journal of Colorectal Disease)

Correlations between preoperative statin treatment with short- and long-term survival following colorectal cancer surgery: a propensity score-matched national cohort study
ConclusionAlthough a subgroup of patients with a preoperative exposure time of 90  days showed statistically significant better overall survival, we found no statistically significant association between statin exposure 1 year before colorectal cancer surgery and overall survival.

External validation of the colorectal cancer risk score LiFeCRC using food frequency questions in the HUNT study
ConclusionReadily available clinical variables and food frequency questions in a modified LiFeCRC score can identify patients at risk of CRC and may improve primary prevention by motivating to lifestyle change or participation in the CRC screening programme.

Conditional survival analysis and real-time prognosis prediction in stage III T3 –T4 colon cancer patients after surgical resection: a SEER database analysis
ConclusionsOur study developed nomograms and predictive models for postoperative stage III survival in T3 –T4 colon cancer with the aim of accurately estimating conditional survival. Survival bias in our analyses may lead to overestimation of survival outcomes, which may limit the applicability of our findings. (Source: International Journal of Colorectal Disease)

Is there a link between appendicitis and the risk of diverticular disease?: a large German cohort study
ConclusionThis large-scale population-based study provides valuable insights into the interaction between appendicitis and diverticular disease. The study underscores the need for further research elucidating the underlying mechanisms linking appendicitis to diverticular disease. Probiotics emerge as a potential therapeutic avenue warranting exploration in the management of both conditions. These findings have important implications for clinical practice, highlighting the importance of considering appendicitis as a potential risk factor for diverticular disease, particularly in men. Further investigation is warranted to va...
