Coagulation parameters and major bleeding in critically ill patients with cirrhosis.

TL;DR: Abnormal coagulation parameters and high DIC scores correspond to increased bleeding risk in patients with liver cirrhosis in the intensive care unit, and fibrinogen and platelet count were identified as the best routine coagulated parameters for prediction of new onset of major bleeding; however, further studies are required to evaluate the potential therapeutic implications of these findings.

Mortality by cause for eight regions of the world: Global Burden of Disease Study

TL;DR: The Global Burden of Disease Study (GBD) used various data sources and made corrections for miscoding of important diseases (eg, ischaemic heart disease) to estimate worldwide and regional cause-of-death patterns in 1990, and the estimates by cause provide a foundation for a more informed debate on public-health priorities.
