Evidence-Based Gastroenterology and Hepatology - 3rd Edition - 9600 Garsington Road, Oxford, OX4 2DQ, UK John Wiley & Sons 2011 - 824 pages - Volume 60 of Evidence-Based Medicine .

The only evidence-based resource combining gastroenterology and hepatology, this major textbook critically appraises the evidence for diagnosis, screening, and treatment of gastrointestinal and hepatic diseases, and provides clear recommendations for management.
A unique feature is the grading of both the evidence (randomized controlled trials, systematic reviews, or lower quality trials) and the treatment recommendations. This structure provides the reader with valuable guidance on implementation.

The third edition has been fully revised, providing the latest reviews of the evidence. It is also enhanced with new topics that have significant evidence for treatment, including;

Esinophilic esophagitis
Acute dysenteries
Prevention and treatment of travellers’ diarrhoea
Frequency of adverse drug effects on bowel function
Management of hepatitis B
Management of Hepatitis C
Vascular disorder of the liver
Non invasive diagnosis of liver fibrosis
Drug induced liver disease
