TL;DR: Long-term HA administration prolongs overall survival and might act as a disease modifying treatment in patients with decompensated cirrhosis in this trial.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diagnosis, treatment and survival of patients with hepatorenal syndrome: A survey on daily medical practice

TL;DR: The diagnostic criteria of HRS in the authors' daily-clinical-practice could not be completely fulfilled in one third of cases and Mortality was strongly predicted by simple baseline variables.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Assessment of the antibiotic susceptibility of bacteria isolated from infections in patients with cirrhosis by a multicentre investigation found some strains are resistant to antibiotics.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: This is the first study that independently validated the ITA.LI.CA prognostic system in a large cohort of Western patients with incident HCCs and showed the best discriminatory ability and monotonicity of gradients compared to other systems, and its superiority was also confirmed after stratification for treatment strategy.
Journal ArticleDOI
