Antibiotic Prophylaxis Does Not Prevent Hospital-Acquired Infection in Patients With Cirrhosis
Researchers evaluate whether antibiotic use in patients with decompensated cirrhosis and without infection prevented hospital-acquired infection.
Diagnosis & Disease Information
Obeticholic Acid Under Review for Pre-Cirrhotic Liver Fibrosis Due to NASH
The NDA is supported by two 2 positive interim analyses from the phase 3 REGENERATE trial that included patients with biopsy-proven stage 2 or 3 liver fibrosis due to NASH.
Poor Oral Health Associated With Hospitalization Risk in Cirrhosis
Researchers evaluated oral health as a determinant of 3-month hospitalizations in compensated or decompensated outpatients with cirrhosis.
Spleen Stiffness May Predict Liver Decompensation, Mortality in Cirrhosis
Researchers compared spleen stiffness vs liver stiffness measurements for predicting liver decompensation and survival in cirrhosis.
Alcohol-Related Cirrhosis Associated With Increased Fracture and Mortality Rate
Researchers investigated the rate and risk for fractures and postfracture mortality among patients with alcohol-related cirrhosis.
PPIs Linked to Higher Risk for Infection, Decompensation in Cirrhosis
Researchers investigated the relationship between proton pump inhibitor exposure and infection, decompensation, and all-cause mortality in liver cirrhosis.
Pregnancy With Cirrhosis Increased in US, Linked to Maternal and Perinatal Outcomes
Researchers compared maternal and perinatal outcomes in US pregnant patients with cirrhosis, noncirrhotic chronic liver disease (CLD), and without CLD.
Increasing Concerns Surrounding Prevalence of Infections in Cirrhosis
The natural history of cirrhosis is significantly affected by the increasing prevalence of infections, with strategies for prevention and treatment difficult to compose.
