| 1 | Characteristics and outcomes of chronic liver disease patients with acute deteriorated liver function by severity of underlying liver disease显示文摘AIM: To analyze characteristics and outcome of patients with acute-on-chronic liver failure(ACLF) according to the severity of underlying liver disease. METHODS: One hundred and sixty-seven adult patients with chronic liver disease and acute deteriorated liver function, defined by jaundice and coagulopathy, were analyzed. Predisposition, type of injury, response, organ failure, and survival were analyzed and compared between patients with non-cirrhosis(type A), cirrhosis(type B) and cirrhosis with previous decompensation(type C).RESULTS: The predisposition was mostly hepatitis B in type A, while it was alcoholic liver disease in typesB and C. Injury was mostly hepatic in type A, but was non-hepatic in type C. Liver failure, defined by CLIF-SOFA, was more frequent in types A and B, and circulatory failure was more frequent in type C. The 30-d overall survival rate(85.3%, 81.1% and 83.7% for types A, B and C, respectively, P = 0.31) and the 30-d transplant-free survival rate(55.9%, 65.5% and 62.5% for types A, B and C, respectively P = 0.33) were not different by ACLF subtype, but 1-year overall survival rate were different(85.3%, 71.7% and 58.7% for types A, B and C, respectively, P = 0.02).CONCLUSION: There were clear differences in predisposition, type of injury, accompanying organ failure and long-term mortality according to spectrum of chronic liver disease, implying classifying subtype according to the severity of underlying liver disease is useful for defining, clarifying and comparing ACLF. | Yun Soo Hong Dong Hyun Sinn Geum-Youn Gwak Juhee Cho Danbee Kang Yong-Han Paik Moon Seok Choi Joon Hyeok Lee Kwang Cheol Koh Seung Woon Paik | 2016 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2016,22,14: | 1 |
| 2 | Effect of lifestyle modification on hepatocellular carcinoma incidence and mortality among patients with chronic hepatitis B显示文摘BACKGROUND Research exploring the influence of healthier lifestyle modification(LSM)on the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)in patients with chronic hepatitis B(CHB)is limited.AIM To emulate a target trial to determine the effect of LSM on HCC incidence and mortality among patients with CHB by large-scale population-based observational data.METHODS Among the patients with CHB enrolled in the Korean National Health Insurance Service between January 1,2009,and December 31,2017,those aged≥20 years who drank alcohol,smoked cigarettes,and were sedentary were analyzed.Exposure included at least one LSM,including alcohol abstinence,smoking cessation,and regular exercise.The primary outcome was HCC development,and the secondary outcome was liver-related mortality.We used 2:1 propensity score matching to account for covariates.RESULTS With 48766 patients in the LSM group and 103560 in the control group,the adjusted hazard ratio(HR)for incident HCC and liver-related mortality was 0.92[95%confidence interval(CI):0.87-0.96]and 0.92(95%CI:0.86-0.99)in the LSM group,respectively,compared with the control group.Among the LSM group,the adjusted HR(95%CI)for incident HCC was 0.84(0.76-0.94),0.87(0.81-0.94),and 1.08(1.00-1.16)for alcohol abstinence,smoking cessation,and regular exercise,respectively.The adjusted HR(95%CI)for liver-related mortality was 0.92(0.80-1.06),0.81(0.72-0.91),and 1.15(1.04-1.27)for alcohol abstinence,smoking cessation,and regular exercise,respectively.CONCLUSION LSM lowered the risk of HCC and mortality in patients with CHB.Thus,active LSM,particularly alcohol abstinence and smoking cessation,should be encouraged in patients with CHB. | Yewan Park Danbee Kang Dong Hyun Sinn Hyunsoo Kim Yun Soo Hong Juhee Cho Geum-Youn Gwak | 2023 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2023,29,24: | 0 |
