Background & Aims
Beta‐blocker therapy is effective at reducing risks of variceal bleeding. However, beta‐blockers may detrimentally exacerbate the underlying haemodynamic changes in cirrhosis. A systematic review and meta‐analysis was performed to evaluate impact of beta‐blockers on all‐cause mortality among cirrhosis patients with ascites.
Methods
A literature search identified studies that...
Direct‐acting antiviral (DAA) therapies for chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection achieve high cure rates, reducing HCV‐related disease progression to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. We aim to evaluate the impact of DAAs on US liver transplant (LT) waitlist outcomes. We retrospectively evaluated US adults (age ≥18) with and without chronic HCV listed for LT before and after the widespread...
Better understanding risk factors for metabolic syndrome (MetS) will allow early targeted intervention to mitigate long term risk. We aim to determine the disparate impact of each individual MetS component on overall risk of developing MetS, stratified by sex, race/ethnicity, and age.Using data from the 2003–2014 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), MetS prevalence among adults...
