Development and validation of the Cirrhotic Ascites Severity model—A patient‐reported outcome‐based model to predict 1‐year mortality

Hepatology Communications, 2022
Ascites formation is a sign of decompensation of cirrhosis and heralds a poor prognosis. The widely used standard binary classification of ascites as diuretic‐responsive or refractory does not cover the spectrum of ascites and has limited prognostic ...

Prognostic value of the ascites characteristics in pseudomyxoma peritonei originating from the appendix

Frontiers in Surgery, 2023
BackgroundPseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) is a rare disease, with the overall survival (OS) influenced by many factors. To date, no ascites characteristics have been reported to predict OS of patients with PMP.
