Supplement to: Time to treatment and mortality during mandated emergency care for sepsis.

TL;DR: More rapid completion of a 3‐hour bundle of sepsis care and rapid administration of antibiotics, but not rapid completed of an initial bolus of intravenous fluids, were associated with lower risk‐adjusted in‐hospital mortality.

The Systemic Inflammation Hypothesis: Towards a New Paradigm of Acute Decompensation and Multiorgan Failure in Cirrhosis

TL;DR: This work presents a working hypothesis, the Systemic Inflammation Hypothesis, suggesting that systemic inflammation through an impairment of the functions of one or more of the major organ systems may be a common theme and act synergistically with the traditional mechanisms involved in the development of AD.

EASL position paper on the use of COVID-19 vaccines in patients with chronic liver diseases, hepatobiliary cancer and liver transplant recipients.

TL;DR: In this paper, a review summarises the data on vaccine safety, immunogenicity, and efficacy in this patient population in general and discusses the implications of this knowledge on the introduction of the new SARS-CoV-2 vaccines.

Acute-on-Chronic Liver Failure Clinical Guidelines

TL;DR: These guidelines indicate the preferred approach to the management of patients with acute-on-chronic liver failure and represent the official practice recommendations of the American College of Gastroenterology.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hypoalbuminemia as Surrogate and Culprit of Infections.

TL;DR: In this paper, a causal link between hypoalbuminemia and increased risks of primary and secondary infections was found. But, the evidence of the beneficial effects of HAS on infections in hypo-albuminemic patients without cirrhosis is largely observational.

A Class of $K$-Sample Tests for Comparing the Cumulative Incidence of a Competing Risk

Robert Gray
- 01 Jan 1988 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, a class of tests developed for comparing the cumulative incidence of a particular type of failure among different groups is presented. The tests are based on comparing weighted averages of the hazards of the subdistribution for the failure type of interest.

EASL Clinical Practice Guidelines for the management of patients with decompensated cirrhosis

TL;DR: The panel of experts, having emphasised the importance of initiating aetiologic treatment for any degree of hepatic disease at the earliest possible stage, extended its work to all the complications of cirrhosis which had not been covered by the European Association for the Study of the Liver guidelines.

Effect of Intravenous Albumin on Renal Impairment and Mortality in Patients with Cirrhosis and Spontaneous Bacterial Peritonitis

TL;DR: In patients with cirrhosis and spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, treatment with intravenous albumin in addition to an antibiotic reduces the incidence of renal impairment and death in comparison with treatment with an antibiotic alone.
