Prior to publication of the final evidence report, EPCs sought input from independent Peer Reviewers without financial conflicts of interest. However, the conclusions and synthesis of the scientific literature presented in this report do not necessarily represent the views of individual reviewers.

Peer Reviewers must disclose any financial conflicts of interest greater than $5,000 and any other relevant business or professional conflicts of interest. Because of their unique clinical or content expertise, individuals with potential nonfinancial conflicts may be retained. The TOO and the EPC work to balance, manage, or mitigate any potential nonfinancial conflicts of interest identified.

The list of Peer Reviewers follows:

• Anne Peery, M.D., M.C.S.R
  Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology
  University of North Carolina
  Chapel Hill, NC
• Victor F. Sai, M.D.
  Department of Radiological Sciences
  David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA
  Los Angeles, CA
