Endoscopic Treatment for Esophagogastric Variceal Bleeding in Patients With Acute‐on‐Chronic Liver Failure: An Observational Study

Portal Hypertension &Cirrhosis, EarlyView.
In patients with acute‐on‐chronic liver failure (ACLF), esophagogastric variceal bleeding (EGVB) represents a critical complication associated with high short‐term mortality. This study evaluated the efficacy of endoscopic treatment in this specific population and identified prognostic factors associated with 6‐week rebleeding and mortality.

Prognostic significance of prior alcohol use disorder in patients with presumed metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease: A large multi‐center cohort study

Addiction, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and aims Alcohol use disorder (AUD) follows a chronic, relapsing course but is often overlooked when alcohol consumption is minimal at the time of evaluation. We aimed to assess the prognostic impact of a prior AUD diagnosis on liver‐related outcomes in patients with presumed metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (

The Value of the ALBI and ALBI–PLT Scores in Predicting Esophageal Varices in Cirrhotic Patients: A Cross‐Sectional Study

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Esophageal varices (EVs) are a common and life‐threatening complication of liver cirrhosis. Endoscopic screening is recommended but remains invasive and resource‐intensive. This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic performance of the albumin–bilirubin (ALBI) and ALBI–platelet (ALBI–PLT) scores for predicting the presence ...

Secular Trend in Glycaemic Management in Type 2 Diabetes Patients With and Without Cirrhosis Between 2000 and 2023: A Territory‐Wide Cohort Study

Alimentary Pharmacology &Therapeutics, Volume 64, Issue 3, Page 356-366, August 2026.
In this territory‐wide cohort study, improving glycemic control can be observed regardless of cirrhosis status. Oral antidiabetic medication was more often used in the non‐cirrhosis group, and insulin was preferred in patients with decompensated cirrhosis, who exhibited an increasing incidence of hypoglycemia over the years and need individualized ...
