Osteopenic occult vertebral fracture is associated with poor oncological outcome in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma after hepatic resection

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Osteopenic occult vertebral fracture (OVF) was associated with poor long‐term outcomes in patients with HCC after hepatic resection. Osteopenic OVF had a poorer prognosis than that of patients with either osteopenia or OVF. Abstract Background Although osteopenia has been associated with poor outcomes in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC ...

FIB‐3 index as a novel age‐independent predictor of liver fibrosis and prognosis in hepatocellular carcinoma patients undergoing hepatectomy

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Fibrosis‐3 index (FIB‐3) can stratify the risk of the survival and the recurrence‐free survival. The FIB‐3 index is a reliable, age‐independent tool for assessing liver fibrosis and prognosis in HCC patients post‐hepatectomy. Its use may improve clinical outcomes and support personalized treatment strategies. Abstract Background Liver fibrosis is a key

Association Between Distance to the Transplant Center and Survival Following Living Donor Liver Transplantation

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
This study investigated the impacts of distance to transplant center on posttransplant survival following LDLT. Patients living further away from the transplant center had worse graft and patient survival rates than those of patients living closer, probably due to less frequency of follow‐up visits, and living > 40 miles from our treatment center was ...
