Journal ArticleDOI
Mortality and Complications Associated with Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy: A Meta-Analysis
Judy A. Shea,Michael J. Healey,Jesse A. Berlin,John R. Clarke,Peter F. Malet,Rudolf N. Staroscik,J. S. Schwartz,Sankey V. Williams +7 more
TL;DR: Except for a higher common bile duct injury rate, laparoscopic cholecystectomy appears to be at least as safe a procedure as that of open choleCystectomy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Revised Estimates of Diagnostic Test Sensitivity and Specificity in Suspected Biliary Tract Disease
Judy A. Shea,Jesse A. Berlin,José J. Escarce,John R. Clarke,John R. Clarke,Bruce Kinosian,Michael D. Cabana,Wendy W. Tsai,Wendy W. Tsai,Nicholas Horangic,Peter F. Malet,Peter F. Malet,J. Sanford Schwartz,Sankey V. Williams +13 more
TL;DR: Ultrasound is superior to oral cholecystogram for diagnosing cholelithiasis, and radionuclide scanning is the test of choice for acute choleCystitis, however, sensitivities and specificities are somewhat lower than commonly reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Predictors of common bile duct stones prior to cholecystectomy: a meta-analysis.
Paul-André C. Abboud,Peter F. Malet,Jesse A. Berlin,Rudy Staroscik,Michael D. Cabana,John R. Clarke,Judy A. Shea,J. Sanford Schwartz,Sankey V. Williams +8 more
TL;DR: A meta-analysis of published data estimated the performance characteristics of the most commonly used preoperative indicators of common bile duct stones and ranked them according to likelihood ratios, which can be applied as guidelines for whether to investigate for duct stones before cholecystectomy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Health-related quality of life in patients with chronic hepatitis C and advanced fibrosis ,
Herbert L. Bonkovsky,Kristin K. Snow,Peter F. Malet,Carla Back-Madruga,Robert J. Fontana,Richard K. Sterling,Clark C. Kulig,Adrian M. Di Bisceglie,Timothy R. Morgan,Jules L. Dienstag,Marc G. Ghany,David R. Gretch +11 more
TL;DR: Achievement of SVR after peginterferon/ribavirin therapy improves HRQOL and sexual health in chronic hepatitis C patients with advanced fibrosis or cirrhosis in the HALT-C Trial.
Journal ArticleDOI
Indications for and outcomes of cholecystectomy: a comparison of the pre and postlaparoscopic eras.
Judy A. Shea,Jesse A. Berlin,Dale R. Bachwich,Rudolf N. Staroscik,Peter F. Malet,Maryanne McGuckin,J. S. Schwartz,José J. Escarce +7 more
TL;DR: Different types of patients underwent cholecystectomy in 1993 compared with patients in 1989, which supports the hypothesis of changing thresholds, and statements supporting the safety of cholecentectomy in the laparoscopic era were borne out.
