TL;DR: Patients with drug-induced hepatocellular jaundice have 11.7% chance of progressing to death or transplantation, and amoxicillin-clavulanate stands out as the most common drug related to DILI.

TL;DR: HIV-related immunodeficiency may be a determinant of higher hepatitis C viremia levels and more severe liver damage and mean interval from estimated time of HCV infection to cirrhosis was significantly longer in HIV-negative than HIV-positive patients.

TL;DR: Over the past decade, there has been a progressive change in the overall picture of GI events leading to hospitalization, with a clear decreasing trend in upper GI events and a significant increase in lower GI events, causing the rates of these two GI complications to converge.

TL;DR: Coxib use presents a lower RR of UGIB than non-selective NSAIDs, however, when combined with low-dose aspirin, the differences between non-selection NSAIDs and coxibs tend to disappear.

TL;DR: A simple score made up of 4 clinical and biological variables allowed us to distinguish 2 groups of cirrhotic patients at high and low risk for the development of HCC, and it is believed this score can be useful in establishing a subset of cir rhotic patients in whom a surveillance program for early detection of H CC could be unjustified.
