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

Alimentary 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.

Impact of Evolving Evidence on Pharmacological Therapy for Alcohol‐Associated Hepatitis in Alberta: A Population‐Based Study of Practice Trends and MELD‐Stratified Effectiveness of Corticosteroids

Alimentary Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
In this population‐based study in Alberta, Canada, evidence from RCTs led to a rapid reversal in pentoxifylline use, prior to formal guideline updates. Real‐world data support a modest short‐term benefit of CS and illustrate the potential of target trial emulation to assess treatment effectiveness in specific groups of patients.

Amino Acid Imbalance Is an Independent Factor for Mortality in Patients With Liver Cirrhosis

Alimentary Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Amino acid imbalance, reflected by a low branched‐chain amino acids (BCAA)‐to‐tyrosine ratio (BTR), independently predicts mortality in patients with cirrhosis. Both decreased serum BCAA and increased tyrosine levels are significant and independent prognostic markers.
