Abstract

Twenty-four patients with familial adenomatous polyposis who had previously undergone prophylactic colectomy and had advanced duodenal polyposis were entered into a randomized trial to assess the effect of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug sulindac on duodenal and rectal polyps. Polyp size and number were assessed by videotaped duodenoscopy (and rectoscopy in 14 patients) at entry and after 6 months of treatment; the tapes were compared by two assessors who were unaware of the randomization and the shuffled chronological order of the recordings. Mucosal cell proliferation was measured by in vitro incorporation of 5-bromo-2′-deoxyuridine. Sulindac therapy was associated with a reduction in epithelial cell proliferation in the duodenum (median labelling index (LI) 15·8 versus 14·4 per cent, P = 0·003) and a trend towards duodenal polyp regression (P = 0·12). In the rectum, cell proliferation showed a marked reduction (median LI8·5 versus 7·4 per cent, P = 0·018), and significant (P = 0·01) polyp regression was seen. Rectal polyposis was less severe than that in the duodenum and responded more dramatically. Sulindac is a possible treatment for patients in whom rectal polyps have failed to show significant regression after ileorectal anastomosis and who are unsuitable for pouch surgery; it may be useful in early duodenal polyposis or as an adjunct after duodenal clearance.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
