Hepatopulmonary Syndrome: A Nationwide Analysis of Epidemiological Trends and Outcomes From 2012 to 2018.

TLDR
In this article, the authors analyzed data from the Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) for the years 2012, 2014, 2016 and 2018 to identify adult (≥ 18 years) hospitalizations with a diagnosis of hepatopulmonary syndrome (HPS).
Abstract
Background This study was designed to determine the epidemiological trends and adverse outcomes of hepatopulmonary syndrome (HPS). Methods This retrospective interrupted trend study analyzed data from the Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) for the years 2012, 2014, 2016 and 2018 to identify adult (≥ 18 years) hospitalizations with a diagnosis of HPS. We highlighted epidemiological trends for HPS. Inpatient mortality, mean length of stay (LOS) and mean total hospital charge (THC) were estimated using multivariate regression trend analysis. Results We observed an increase in the total number of HPS hospitalizations from 1,565 in 2012 to 2,495 in 2018, with mean age ranging from 55.8 to 58.1 years. There was a trend towards increasing hospitalizations (P-trend < 0.001) with increasing mean age (P-trend = 0.003) for HPS. Whites made up most of the study population. The inpatient mortality for HPS ranged from 12.4% to 12.6%, but there was no statistically significant trend for mortality (P-trend = 0.534) between 2012 and 2018. Additionally, there was no change in both mean LOS (P-trend = 0.545) and mean THC (P-trend = 0.534) for HPS for these years. Conclusions Hospitalizations and mean age for HPS were on the rise. Inpatient mortality ranged from 12.4% to 12.6%; however, a statistically significant trend for mortality was absent.

[Hepatopulmonary syndrome].

TL;DR: In this article , a triad of liver disease and portal hypertension, evidence of IPVDs, and impaired gas exchange (alveolar-arterial oxygen difference [A-aO2]≥15mmHg) was used to diagnose the hepatopulmonary syndrome (HPS).

Pulmonary–Hepatic vascular Disorders (PHD)

TL;DR: A number of alterations, both directly and indirectly related to hepatic injury and portal hypertension, result in the production or release of mediators into the venous circulation, where they influence the pulmonary microcirculation in experimental hepatopulmonary syndrome.

The global, regional, and national burden of cirrhosis by cause in 195 countries and territories, 1990-2017 : a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2017

Sadaf G. Sepanlou, +201 more
TL;DR: Mortality, prevalence, and DALY estimates are compared with those expected according to the Socio-demographic Index (SDI) as a proxy for the development status of regions and countries, and a significant increase in age-standardised prevalence rate of decompensated cirrhosis between 1990 and 2017.

Natural history of hepatopulmonary syndrome: Impact of liver transplantation.

TL;DR: In conclusion, hypoxemia of HPS is frequently progressive and as OLT outcome relates to pretransplantation PaO2, additional MELD points should advance the priority for OLT in HPS.

Prognostic significance of the hepatopulmonary syndrome in patients with cirrhosis

TL;DR: The presence of HPS independently worsens prognosis of patients with cirrhosis and should influence patient management and scoring systems and accelerate the evaluation process for liver transplantation.

Adjusting Health Expenditures for Inflation: A Review of Measures for Health Services Research in the United States

TL;DR: There is no single gold standard for adjusting health expenditures for inflation, so suggestions on specific indexes to use in many common situations and general guidance in others are developed.
