This study, conducted by The Lewin Group for the American Gastroenterological Association, analyzed major national and local databases to assess prevalence and cost of 17 digestive conditions: gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), gallbladder disease, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), peptic ulcers, chronic liver disease and cirrhosis, chronic hepatitis C**, chronic diarrhea, diverticular disease, diseases of pancreas, Barrett's esophagus, ulcerative colitis, colorectal cancer, Crohn's disease, pancreatic cancer, liver cancer, foodborne illness and non-foodborne gastroenteritis. An article based on the study was published in the May 2002 issue (Volume 122 No 5) of the journal Gastroenterology.

"Throughout the engagement, Lewin consultants listened to us and delivered superb analyses and thoughtful guidance–not canned solutions."  NONPROFIT HEALTH SYSTEM
