The Model for End-Stage Liver Disease Accurately Predicts 90-Day Liver Transplant Wait-List Mortality in Atlantic Canada [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: To determine the generalizability of the predictions for 90-day mortality generated by Model for End-stage Liver Disease (MELD) and the serum sodium augmented MELD (MELDNa) to Atlantic Canadian adults with end-stage liver disease awaiting ...

Background: Decompensated cirrhosis patients have a high risk of death which can be considerably reduced with liver transplantation (LT). This study aimed to simultaneously investigate the effect of some patients' characteristics on mortality among those

Too little, too late: Palliation and end‐stage liver disease
Background and Aim: End-stage liver disease is a leading cause of mortality. Fewer than 60% of patients with decompensated cirrhosis survive after 2 years, with patients often experiencing distressing symptoms impairing quality of life.

Correlation between Frequency of Flaps in Asterixis and Severity of the Liver Disease in Patients with Hepatic Encephalopathy [PDF]
Introduction: Frequency of flaps in asterixis is not uniform and varies among the patients. However, this flap frequency has not been given much importance in the literature. Neither it alters the grade of severity of Hepatic Encephalopathy (HE), nor has

The utility of liver function tests for mortality prediction within one year in primary care using the algorithm for liver function investigations (ALFI) [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Although liver function tests (LFTs) are routinely measured in primary care, raised levels in patients with no obvious liver disease may trigger a range of subsequent expensive and unnecessary management plans.

Serum microRNA-122 predicts survival in patients with liver cirrhosis [PDF]
Background: Liver cirrhosis is associated with high morbidity and mortality. MicroRNAs (miRs) circulating in the blood are an emerging new class of biomarkers.
