This question book is designed to assist in preparations for the European Specialty Examination in Gastroenterology and Hepatology (ESEGH). Completing this examination demonstrates that sufficient knowledge has been acquired to fulfil the requirements of a specialist in gastroenterology and hepatology, according to a curriculum agreed upon across Europe. This preparation book adopts the same ‘Best of Five’ question format used in the ESEGH. Furthermore, it covers the breadth of the curriculum, and its composition has been designed to exactly match the relative proportion of questions on each topic area found in the examination. Each of the 300 questions contained in the book is accompanied by an answer, a set of succinct bullet points of key ‘take-home’ messages and a short summary of the relevant background, evidence base, and up-to-date European guidelines. The book ends with a chapter of 50 questions designed to act as a mock examination for use in the final stages of preparation.Less

This chapter includes a range of miscellaneous curriculum topics including endoscopy, anorectal disorders and gastrointestinal (GI) investigations. Questions discussing the role and indications for antibiotic prophylaxis in endoscopy, sedation, performance measures and consent will provide education on best practice in endoscopy. Coverage is also given to the management of anticoagulation pre- and post-endoscopy together with commonly encountered procedural complications: post-polypectomy syndrome, post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography pancreatitis and caustic injury. The presentation and management of key anorectal disorders (haemorrhoids, anal fissures, anal intraepithelial neoplasia, infectious proctitis) are also presented here. Finally, principles of salient GI investigations including anorectal manometry and breath tests are well described. Additional curriculum material regarding miscellaneous gastrointestinal conditions and investigations will be covered in the mock examination chapter.Less

This chapter covers core curriculum topics relating to gastrointestinal haemorrhage. This includes risk assessment for upper gastrointestinal haemorrhage incorporating natural history and prediction of rebleed following peptic ulcer bleeding. Comprehensive coverage of assessment and management of variceal bleeding (gastric and oesophageal) is included including the role of stenting. Causes of presentations with lower gastrointestinal bleeding, including following radiotherapy, are presented along with guidance on assessing shock index, investigation and management strategies. The role of acute imaging versus endoscopic intervention is discussed. Furthermore, investigation and management of obscure and occult gastrointestinal bleeding is covered including small bowel endoscopy and specialist imaging. Additional curriculum material regarding gastrointestinal haemorrhage will also be covered in the mock examination chapter.Less

This chapter covers core curriculum topics relating to small intestinal disorders and malabsorption. This includes a discussion of key gut hormones involved in digestion and absorptive processes including with relevance for obesity. Questions on gastrointestinal neurotransmitters and transporters provide education in gut physiology. The protean presentations of several micronutrient deficiencies seen in clinical practice are discussed. Focus is given to the diagnosis, initial management and follow up of patients with coeliac disease and villous atrophy including later-onset complications such as enteropathy-associated T cell lymphoma. Also covered is the investigation of small intestinal motility disorders and the manifestations and management of functional abdominal conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome. Disorders of bile acid recirculation, microbial dysregulation including through acute infections, and key medications causing presentations with diarrhoea are incorporated in this chapter. Additional curriculum material regarding small intestinal disorders will also be covered in the mock examination chapter.Less
