Gut is a leading international peer-reviewed journal in gastroenterology and hepatology, with an established reputation for publishing first class clinical research of the alimentary tract, liver, biliary tree, and pancreas. It is co-owned by the ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø and the BMJ Group. The current impact factor is 25.8, ranking 4th in the JCR Gastroenterology & Hepatology category. It has a Citescore of 46.7, ranking 3rd in the Gastroenterology category.
All members of the ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø get free access to Gut articles via the ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø website. However, this is often an underutilised resource. So now the ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø aims to bring Gut and the ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø members closer together by highlighting the best and most interesting articles recently published either online or in print in a ‘ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø Gut Highlights’ series each month. Our team of ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø Gut Ambassadors will write 250-word abstract summaries of Gut papers, from basic science papers to clinical original research, and from all the subspecialties and subsections papers are published with an issue of Gut.
We hope this will be a ‘staple’ and useful resource for ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø members and stimulate people to read the full papers, and even set up journal clubs in their NHS trusts to discuss them. These ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø Gut Highlights will be advertised on social media and via ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø emails – watch out for them and please do give us feedback via [email protected].

Can bowel cancer screening colonoscopies be safely delayed given the natural slow progression of development of colorectal cancer (CRC)? This nationwide French cohort study evaluated whether delays to colonoscopy following a positive faecal immunochemical test (FIT) influenced CRC outcomes.
Pancreatic fluid collections (PFCs), including walled-off necrosis (WON) and pancreatic pseudocysts (PCs), are important local complications of severe acute pancreatitis. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided transmural drainage now sits as the preferred first-line approach for symptomatic collections, but it remains invasive and can lead to bleeding, perforation, longer admissions, and occasional mortality.
