Post‐Banding Ulcer Bleeding After Endoscopic Ligation: Incidence, Risk Factors and Outcomes in Patients With Cirrhosis

open access: yesAlimentary Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
A PBUB is a rare but often fatal complication of endoscopic variceal band ligation. The relevant risk factors contributing to PBUB are unknown and consequently there are no effective preemptive strategies. This study highlights kidney disease as a predictor of PBUB together with the well‐established higher risk for urgent band ligation.

Spontaneous Bacterial Peritonitis Is Associated With High Mortality, Which Interacts With Antibiotic Prophylaxis in a National Cirrhosis Cohort

open access: yesAlimentary Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
In a national cohort of newly decompensated Veterans with cirrhosis, SBP and recurrences are linked with higher death and need for liver transplant. SBP prophylaxis, whether primary or secondary, worsens resistance and interacts with mortality but not liver transplant.

open access: yes, 2016
Background Ultrafiltration is a method used to achieve diuresis in acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) when there is diuretic resistance, but its efficacy in other settings is unclear. We therefore conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to
