Predicting hospital mortality in cirrhotic patients: comparison of child-pugh and acute physiology, age and chronic health evaluation (APACHE III) scoring systems
TL;DR: The APACHE III scoring system is superior to Child-Pugh for prognosticating short term survival of cirrhotic patients and can be enhanced by incorporating information regarding ascites and prothrombin time prolongation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pneumatic balloon dilation in achalasia: a prospective comparison of balloon distention time.
TL;DR: Pneumatic balloon dilation in achalasia: a prospective comparison of balloon distention time is compared with a comparison of balloons at different temperatures and pressures.
